When it has warmed up after a while, when I step on the accelerator softly, the car hesitates and the speedometer cuts out, only intermittently though. If I press harder on the pedal, it seems fine. It happens most when I am trying to maintain a constant speed. The tachometer doesn't cut out, it stays at a fairly constant reading, although as I was traveling at 80 km/h, the car cut out a lot, and when it came back on after a split second, the rpm had to increase to recover the car's speed. I have owned a lot of cars, and have never seen anything like this before. Any ideas? psamp48 User Apr 30, 2011, 1:24 PM Post #2 of 3 (1899 views) Re: 1997 Cutlass hesitation Sign In Could it be the speed sensor? I see a lot of people had the same problem. psamp48 User May 3, 2011, 3:55 PM Post #3 of 3 (1882 views) Re: 1997 Cutlass hesitation Sign In I replaced the VSS, car works fine now.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
