#1 of 3 '03 Axiom Surging by 03axiomxs Jul 13, 2008 (7:19 pm)
It may be a problem with throttle position sensors, but it definitely feels like a fueling issue at times.   Under fairly heavy acceleration in 2nd gear, the car does not accelerate smoothly it almost feels like the computer is rapidly changin its mind about how much fuel it wants to dump in the engine.   Also when I am climbing a steep hill in 2nd gear, I push the accelerator, and the car doesn't really respond (I am not lugging the motor), and then downshifts to first and of course the engine screams and the car flies up the hill. This is really annoying. It should have plenty of torque in 2nd gear at about 3k RPM to climb any hill, wihtout having to wind it out in 1st.   Any thoughts?

If you haven't done it before, Shop around for prices. The dealership charged me $250 an oil change place $75. Replies to this message: 03axiomxs (Dec 27, 2008 7:03 am)

Replying to: AxOnTheGo (Dec 27, 2008 1:50 am) If I understand correctly you are saying to run a quality injector cleaner, or have a "fuel injector cleaning" session at a local oil/lube place?   Did these help or did the problem come back quickly?   Thanks for the response.
