So basically i have a 3.1l v6 firebird with 158XXX miles on it. Today i was driving it and it was running fine but about 20 min in i roll up to a red light and i try to accelerate and the car just starts bogging down to about 500 rpm and is stuttering so i put my foot farther down and it starts accelerating like normal.i thought at first my transmission was slipping or something but its not that its something with the engine.It feels almost like its not getting enough gas or something like it jerks a little bit but then catches and drives normal it only happens at dead stopps and is fine when rolling. just thought someone could point me in the right direction

 

Any check engine lights???

Replaced any items lately?

 

no the check engine light is off and no haven't replaced anything but it just stared doing it today

 

You could check for vacuum leaks. Also make sure the cat converter isn't clogged. Mabey even check out the IAC valve and see if its gunked up.

 

Maybe even a fuel filter wouldn't hurt if its been on there for a while

i think it maybe a clogged cat becuase i always smell exhuast when my t tops are off and it doent smell like other cars always wondered why

 

I'm looking at a V6 camaro and it was doing the same thing cuz the TPS wasnt hooked up
