February 7, 200521 yr I had a similar issue....turned out to be the MAF sensor, however I would check/replace your spark plugs & wires, fuel filter, and maybe run a tank of injector cleaner through.
February 7, 200521 yr Author i just changed the spark plugs and was in the process of changing the atf fluid when we were filling it, it started to leak out of the pass side cv axle till most of it was all gone
February 8, 200521 yr hmmm.....you sure you filled the correct dipstick? The ATF is separate from the differential, which the axles go into. The ATF dipstick is on the driver's side, and the diff dipstick is on the passenger side.
February 8, 200521 yr Author ill have to check it out in the morning now but i did fill the one on the passside, thank for the help thats probally what it is, where is the front differential fluid plug located at and do i have to change the rear one too?
February 8, 200521 yr Front differential plug is on the under side, right around where the filler is, and I believe it is facing the passenger side. No you don't need to touch the rear diff. The tranny plug is further back on the car....and on the driver's side.
