As you can see from the name I have a 98 sentra automatic GXE. I love my lil sentra, and was going to attempt to modify it visually and with some minor engine mods. BUT maybe for the past year or so I have been running into some problems, all but one have been corrected or fixed, and its the worst one. I've noticed that for the past year or so I've been losing power in the low gears first and second, and now its gotten to the point where if I step on the accelerator all the way down almost nothing happens, the car goes so slow. When it gets into 3rd though, it seems to have no problems. The problem is I need the low gears to pick up because those are the most important when I'm driving( getting on the highway, pulling out into traffic etc). I've also noticed some funny shifting on hills, it seems like 2nd stays in gear for 2 long, and sometimes, the car will shift in and out of second like its having trouble figuring out which gear to be in. I know its not the air filter, and I did have a small hole in the intake manifold, that I welded up so its not that either. So my question is, what are your takes on this? Its goin to the shop regardeless trying to get a heads up.
Note: On random days the car will have no problems at all, but this doesn't happen very often, and usually when it does, after a while the power drops.
