SD05GT

So a couple weeks ago my car started to run a little funny. Whats weird is it doesn't always run bad. At first I only noticed it around sharp turns (like doing u turns). What the car does is it runs choppy or sputtery. It happens in low rpm's. The car kind of sputters or shakes and once i accelerate out of the turn it seems to go away.

At first I thought it was a fuel system problem. I ran injector cleaner (2 bottles) through the car. I also replaced the fuel filter but the problem remained...

Now a couple days ago my clutch started to make noises. Atleast I think it's my clutch. When i shift from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th i hear a grinding sound. The car still sputters around turns or in low rpms. Now it also seems to do it when I go up hills.

At first i thought it was a fuel system problem but now I think it might be my clutch slipping or cluttering around.... Whats weird is when it first started happening i never would have thought it to be a clutch. I thought maybe it was an ignition coil or some kind of sensor....

Any thoughts????

well if your clutch were slipping, your rpms would go up faster than the car would accelerate, so it would actually be doing the opposite of what you describe. I would say to clean the maf sensor and check the throttle position sensor to make sure its plugged in correctly

checked both sensors... everything seemed okay.. any other suggestions? problem still remains.

I'd check that checked out ASAP man! You don't want anything Fing up with a blower on there.....

If a shop installed it, why don't you take it to them??

I don't think it's a matter of the clutch slipping, but probably something to do with the throw out bearing if you feel it's clutch related.

After reading your first paragraph I was thinking clutch.

Does it do it with the AC on?
