i bought my car from a private seller and it did not accelerate right. I cont. to have the problem even after changing the fluids, filter, etc. it recently died and figured out it had computer problems with the main computer and the transmision computer i replaced them and it now runs. but.. it is acting strange during its acceleration it will cut of or it will rev vary high but both only for about 3-5 sec. i would like to know how to fix the problem.

 

Auto or manual?

 

its an auto tran and ive heard that they have had problems

 

If your tranny has high miles on it, it may be time for a rebuild. Even thoug it is an ATX, it still has clutch packs in it. If you have a shop you trust you can have them check it out. Also if your up to doing the work your self, check out Import Performance Transmision Online.

 

it only has around 58500 miles on it

 

my brother kinda had the same problem with his celica and all he had to do was change his mafs. idk if this will help but if ur still having problems u might want to try and look at it.

 

what are mafs?

 

mass air flow sensor

 

could this be the torque converter?
