I'm having an issue with my ST and would greatly appreciate any assistance and advice you all could give me. I have an '01 ST with over 114,000 miles. About 2 weeks ago I had a tune-up which included spark plugs, oil & filter change, air filter, fuel filter, belt, intake manifold gaskets replaced, as well as drain & fill transmission fluid. (Stupidly, I drove my truck for a while with the "check engine" light on due to bad intake manifold gaskets :banghead
. After I picked up my ST, the check engine light came on a couple days later. As I go from a complete stop to slowly accelerate, the engine feels like it wants to stall unless I step on the pedal a little harder. So at every red light, I have to push down a little harder than normal and my truck jerks for a second until I get moving.
Also, as I go from 1st to 2nd gear (automatic transmission w/2 wheel drive), the transmission shifts rougher than normal and gives a slight jerk as if it were having a hard time getting into 2nd gear.
When stopping, everything is fine until it goes from 2nd back to 1st gear. When I have to brake kinda hard, the truck reallly jerks. It feels exactly like when you brake hard and the anti-lock brakes start to pulsate, except it only does it once, 1 hard pulsate. The lighter I brake, the less you feel the pulsate/jerk.
Does anyone know what this is or had this problem before? (I would hate to hear my transmission is failing!! That would REALLY suck!):angry:
Thanks in advance for all your help!!!!
