Hey everyone! just want to take a moment to wish everyone a happy Easter before going into my situation.
I drove from New Jersey to Kentucky on friday, 3/21. everything was going well until i almost reach my destination. about 150 miles after my last fill-up at a scary shell station my VX is bucking when i accelerate. Its not bucking from the tranny trying to shift....but i don't know for sure...it just seems that when you step on the gas it just bucks....forward and backward. I called an isuzu dealer down here, whom i've never been to before and he said it could be any number of things but suggested a spark plug change and tune up. would a clogged fuel filter cause the buck sensation?? it has been changed, but that was 40,000 miles ago. i'm at 93,000 miles now, and i really have been keeping up on the repairs and maintenance. i haven't done a tune up yet though. any help would be great. i'm supposed to be driving back to NJ on monday, but it looks like its going to a garage that day. any help with a diagnosis would be great. i can't get it too an isuzu dealer till wednesday, their earliest appointment down here, so i'm going to take it to a local garage instead. Like i said, any help would be great. thanks in advance.
have to add one more thing...My VX was a marvel at one of the rest stops on the way down. one guy saw me pass him on the interstate and he followed me into the rest stop to find out more about my VX. You have the good with the bad sometimes, and just reminds me how i love my VX.
