Default buckling or pulling back during operation

Hi,


I have a 2000 GLT SE 60k. Just acquired, but notice during operation cruizing about 57 miles an hour and just have the foot on the pedal (not coasting or accerlating ) the vehicle like buckles or just pulls back. Any ideas? Thanks ahead time..........


Mike

Maybe a dirty throttle body.

Thanks for your reply, Tech!!!!


Here is my game plan thus far. I filled up the gas tank with some 89 Octane and will be using from now on. Added some Lucas oil fuel additive.

Than I will clean the Throttle body.

I'm a newbie, can I do this myself cleaning???? If so, are there any pics regarding location, and step by step instructions.


Also, I read in one of the posts about ETM being warranted 1000k and 10 years. Can this be the problem? What exactly is its function? How do I know if anywork was done to the car before hand?


This message board is awesome!!! And I really appreciate the members input. Cheers.

That could be a problem. Usually if it is someting with the ETM it sets a code.
That is the throttle body.

It is under the intake you might be able to handle cleaning it.
