nipper Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Sound travels, but it is worth investigating, as the tensioner is on the drivers side, but not by much, we are talking inches. This may be something worth looking in to. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like maybe your torque converter isn't un-locking.... someone more familiar with an automatic will probably chime in soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it just cut out or does it stmble then stall. Try shifting right to Neutral then putting it in D with your foot off the brake, does it run or stall with a lurch?
