ok this happened like 3 times today. after i stopped at a red light and wanted to accelerate..y rpms did not go up and the car barely moved!..any tips. thanks so much!

 

Location?
was there ice/snow on the road?

 

no there was no ice, also it said on the dashboard "slip"..i had to turn off the car and on, so i would go back to normal..but it will repeat the problem when i stared braking "almost at a complete stop".

 

weird
did it go back to normal as soon as you got rolling?

 

after i turned the car back on it did. idk if it has to do with the cold start. i live in fl and its been cold these days. but thats just a wild guess.. i dont want to damage my engine i love my G.

 

it sounds like it maybe going into limp mode for some reason.
Are you still under warranty?

 

sounds like a maf or tb issue......if ur slip/vdc lights go off and there is no throttle response then def a tb. and a maf will not always throw a code and still have a no throttle/super slow throttle response

 

If only the SLIP light was coming on then your VDC was activating for some reason... or TB took a dump

 

Have you installed any headers lately? It might be the g sensor. It might have to be reset. I had almost the same problem after a header install, due to removing the steering shaft from the rack and pinion. Is your VDC system or ABS system kicking in when this happens?

 

the car is not under warranty, and i have not installed anything on the car, is completely stock. can some one specify what is a ""tb" ..thank you. and the car then accelerates extremely slow...almost nothing.

 

MAF = Mass Air Flow sensor
TB = Throttle body

 

just thought i'd ask.. are you attempting to floor it when this happens? are your rear tires bald? they could actually just be slipping due to no traction and the car is cutting power

 

Have you tried running a CEL scanner to see if it's throwing any codes? (Check Engine Light)

 

tires are fine, brand new.. it does say engine service soon. but the thing is that i did a major service like 3 months ago. i try to floor it so the car starts moving but nothing even i i push it slightly the revs wont go up... (today i let turned on the car and let it warm up for a while then took it arround the block..and i caused me no problem,..i did not go over 3000 rpm's.. and floored it just a little bit..but it did not cause any problems.. very weird


also how bad is the tb..is that repairable? does it cost a lot...and what about the other?

 

You need to get the CEL (check engine light) codes read. That will tell us much more in what your problem is. Its very likely your throttle body going bad and causing it to go into limp mode.

You can find a used TB for $75-80 buck in the marketplace.

You can find a remanufactured TB for $90-100 bucks online.
