2002 Malibu - slow to pull off
My 2002 Chevy Malibu has been having trouble getting up speed after pulling off. I paid $70 fro diagnostic, now they want $60 more. I am a single mother who can't afford to keep paying all these diagnostic fees. I wanted to use the dealer who might be able to pinpoint better, but afraid to take that chance because they charge $120 per hour until the problem is found. This has been going on two months. Mr. Transmission ruled out the trans. And I don't believe it is either. This week when I put my foot on the accelerator there is a high pitch squeal that sounds like I dragging some poor animal to his death. Repairs done so far:
1. 3months ago - used fuel filter (don't know if related)
2. plugs & wire
3. emptied & refilled trans. Fluid
4. oil change
5. transmission screen replaced
6. gas treatment
7. upgraded to plus gasoline
Please help I'm at my wits end.
