Does a car accelerate when it goes up a hill?
When you are driving a car, your engine and all the other components must work extra hard if you’re moving up an incline or a hill. You need to have enough power to be able to accelerate a vehicle anywhere, especially up a hill where gravity is pulling against it.
What is a basic rule of defensive driving?
Avoid all drivers with bad intentions on the road by keeping a considerable distance from them. If possible, change the lane or slow down to let them pass to avoid rear-ending.
Why is my car stalling uphill?
Without enough fuel pressure, your car will not run reliably. Even if you have low fuel pressure, your car can run normally on level ground, but as soon as you head uphill, your car will probably stall without enough pressure. Try adding some fuel injector cleaner to your gas tank.
Is there vibration when going from 60 to 70 mph?
Oh, and if while going from 80 to a stop or lower speed, there’s no vibration. No vibration while braking (which would indicate warped rotor). I have those on my truck…. I KNOW warped rotor. EDIT: Forgot to mention that hydraulic engine mount is OK.. that was replaced about 20k mi ago. No vibration in ECO as long as not between 60-70.
Can a 4.2 liter engine go to 60 mph?
The 4.2 has plenty of power to stay locked at 50 – 60 mph, even with the car full of family & stuff and even on slight inclines. Actually, on a few occasions I was amazed by how much “suffocating” the engine took before the computer decided it cannot go locked anymore.
What to do about tire shake at highway speeds?
Shaking around highway speeds and only on acceleration. Immediately smoothed out with taking foot off the pedal or cruising at the same speed. Checked EVERYTHING. Tires, alignment, got tires rotated, got new tires, axle, axle joints, motor mounts (they were broken – replaced all 4).
Is there vibration in Eco when going up hill?
No vibration in ECO as long as not between 60-70. That mount was flat when we bought it so I know what that feels like and this is different. I have the same problem between around 55 & 70 MPH, while under power (accelerating OR going up hill). Similar story as OP.
