1994 Pathy XE, Automatic trans, 100% stock
1. Chugging:
From a stand-still, my truck will sometimes have zero power when I start to accelerate (say I'm at a red light, then it turns green. I take my foot off the brake and hit the gas, and it starts chugging...) It usually only lasts a second or two, and then it returns to full power... This morning, however, it was doing it all the way down my street... o.O
-- Somewhat related: My oil light will slowly creep on/off at idle as well...
2. Funny tach:
My tach is a very confused individual... Every once in a while, it'll work a bit, usually from 0-2k RPM... I've only once seen it fully work, and I've no idea why it did... When it will sorta work, as said, it'll work between 0-2k... When it doesn't want to work, it'll show me tons of different readings as I accelerate... Anywhere from 500 to 4k, and it bounces quite a bit... It's almost as if it's receiving standard readings, then all of a sudden the polarity is switched or something, forcing the tach to show deceleration, when I'm CLEARLY accelerating...
-- Not related: THERE'S NO USEFUL <FLARGARBL> CUPHOLDERS IN THIS RIG!!!! D:<
Any ideas? ANY input; beit suggestions, diagnosis steps, criticism both positive and negative, flaming, spamming, namecalling, hair-pulling, biting, slapping, or pissing contest starting; is GREATLY appreciated...
Thanks,
