Grannies car has a problem...when cold it wants to pull thru stop signs...I put it in neutral and rev it slim bit and it's fine...also struggles going up hills unless I drop it into that gear manually...any ideas???

Ignition issue? If it's chugging under load and clearing up in the higher rpms that's my guess. CEL on?
It's on but haven't read it yet... It was on before and said o2 sensor...so I changed but no difference and light came back on now...never thought of ignition...hmmm..had timing belt changed and cam pos. Sensor,,plugs,,o2...
Is CEL flashing? I'd scan the comp. for code and go from there....
Is that a symptom of a bad throttle position sensor?

Not flashing just stays on...vacuum maybe???
Almost feels like tranny vacuum but its probably something simple like an unplugged sensor or something...
Does this have the stock 2.5 or does it have a transplanted 3.0?

Oh damn...I put 3.0 sorry....yes 2.5...don't know what I was thinking...lol
The whole reason for the CEL is to check the code and point you on the right direction....Kinda shooting in the dark with a bunch of guesses.
Yeah I know but it said o2 sensor...I changed it and it's still has the problem and light came back on...just getting some more ideas...
Not trying to start an argument, trying to help....but you mentioned you haven't read it yet. Could be something totally different.
Yeah Im gonna have to dig alil bit...I used advances reader...I wish I had snap on reader...
my sct reads mine.
Yeah I will be buying 1 soon...I had the innova but some shady character stole it from my garage...I've been waiting to buy 1 when I get a new terminator...
Timing belt was changed...maybe a tooth out
