Anyone know what is wrong when 03 S2000 is acting as if it is going to stall? Trying to push the gas and nothing happening but some lurching. Fiance was driving it last night and almost got hit trying to make a left and nothing happened. Any info would help. And last week I thought it was just me when I had it in 3rd and tried to push it alittle to accelerate and nothing happened. It felt as if I was trying to accelerate at 10 mph in 5th and I wasn't/

 

possibly fuel starvation.How many miles has it got on the clock? Itspossibly fuel filters if its a real high mile'r.

Ive seen a petrol car that have had a little diesel put in it by accident at gas station; that lurched/looked like It wason kangaroo juice.

'could that have happened to you two? if it has and theres notmuch gas in the tank you wanna fill it right up with premium to dilute. Otherwise if itspretty full (andis possibly diesel in there) then you need to drain the tank.


Thats doubtful though, possible but doubtfull.

Im still guessing fuel filter if its a high miler,

and one other question.. Do you run it on Premium?

 

and have you got the engine check light on?

 

No not a high mile car. It is an 03 with 9k on it. And yes we only put 91 octane in it if not higher. I only fill up at chevron and wouldn't think that they would have mixed up the gas, but you never know I guess.

And as for the check engine light. NO

Nothing seems to be wrong, but I will have to bring it into my work on Tuesday. With my luck they won't find anything wrong. We will see. Thanks for your help.

 

Timing belt slippage at a guess then, ckeck timing belt.

that fits the issues you stated!

so it was possible!

Looks like its time to drain your tank and fill it with Premium gas instead; maybe sue the gas station if its messed anything up!

I doubt it, considering the car does not have a timing belt.
