My 2004 Pontiac aztek runs great unless you have to go up a hill or pass someone on the highway. Three different mechanics including the dealership can't figure this out. When u accelerate more than granny style the acceleration cuts out. The car doesn't die or stall but just loses power. Coincidently with this problem came the abs light and wheel drive disable message. Help??

Loss of power at highway speed is usually clogged fuel filter or clogged air filter. Checking fuel pressure won't tell you if the filter is clogging up. You can still have pressure, just no volume. Air filters can do the same, except it will usually die or stumble coming to stops. The abs and disable light won't affect the engine performance. Hopefully you have a bad wheel sensor that is also disabling the AWD. The sensor is around $100 the actuator for the AWD is over $300

My 2004 3400 closed system ,runs hot in town unless heater is on. driving up a mountain pass it gets very hot.on a flat highway runs normal. new t state,resivior cap, both fans work no leaks or smell

Radiator fan motor or radiator fan thermostat defective/

Also there is a relay that operates the fan motor

In town not enough air passing through radiator allowing it to over temp.. With heater fan running acts like cooling fan keeping engine cool

Highway driving ample air passing through radiator without fan.

Hill climbing requires cooling fan/

Hope this helps?

Where can i get the white plastic clip for the headlight assembly mine broke i have a 2005 aztek

I would say the best place that will not cost you an arm and a leg would be a junkyeard...they'll only charge you about less than $5.00...another would be to look up on craigslist to see if someone is parting out your make/model......last place would be the dealership....check ebay also.

Anti-lock n AWD

Call the dealership. I seem to remember that Pontiac had a recall for this problem just recently where the antilock brake system would lock op and the system caused people to get into accidents. This is a manufacture defect
