when i cruz sometimes my car will kinda freeze in gear, like in third today the car seemed to just stop acelerating while in steping on the gas , then i downshifted and the car was ok again, then the engine light comes on, any help will be appreciated.

 

the same thing happens to me, but without the engine light coming on. does it seem to just be really sluggish, or just not accelerating at all?

 

it happened today too!!! this time the engine light didnt come on, and i lost all gears. it started gettin slugish then didnt excelerate, could someone tell me why please

 

could be fuel filter or dirty injectors. well, i think that's what my problem might be, and it sounds pretty close.

 

If the engine light comes on, and you lose power, and it acts sluggish, you might want to check the wiring to the engine and computer chip. The wiring tells the engine how much voltage it gets, and if the wiring is bad, you lose power, and the car will act sluggish.

If the engine light doesn't come on, and you lose your gears, it's your transmission or clutch.

 

i would check your fuel filter, maybe try adding some of that cleaner stuff. should try using some of that injector cleaner, it really works, at least when i put it in my moms blazer. by the 3rd bottle problem was gone.

 

I would tend to agree with Nismatic707, sounds like potential for an engine problem, do any of the other lights come on on the dash?

 

well my cars going into the shop for a diagnostic the mechanic said its not likely to be trany problem, cuz i still have my gears, but most likely some kind of engine problem, i also found out that the noise is caused by a missfire. thanx for the replies it was all helpfull. ill let you know what it is when i find out.thanx to all
