Why does my Chevy Impala have a shutter Hiccup?

Why does my Chevy Impala have a shutter Hiccup?

A Technician told me that it was the EGR valve because the spring inside becomes weak causing poor performance, Manufacture flaw. He told me that when the LT1s were started being used in the F-Bodies they use to get Firebirds coming in with around 10,000 to 15,000 miles with hesitations and needing a new EGR valve. These are the f-body part #’s.

What’s the 32 code on a Chevy Impala?

See, it took many years before 32 code even was set. Even a valve with shot diaphragm did not set any code. So, if you have shudder, replace that part with known good one. It is a 10 minute work on these engines. I’ll find my three-year old post about shudder and will add this comment there too.

Which is better Chevy Impala EGR or F-body?

The f-body EGR is only better if you’re running an aftermarket exhaust. They tend to last longer and are the same price anyway. So buy it. Go ahead and get the solenoid as well, they’re not that much and it’s good to replace it while you’re back there.

Are there any problems with the Chevy Impala?

Brought the Car Used…. Drivetime (Very Clean, Fully Loaded) Great Vehicle aside from the Jerking that started around 110k miles. Jerking and hesitating only during take offs from stop light or signs. I noticed it a little sluggish in reverse leaving driveway slightly uphill as if vehicle doesn’t had the power.

Why is there no check engine light on my Chevy Impala?

Now while cruising at 40 or 45mph it doesn’t want to stay in overdrive or the torque converter is locking and unlocking. It will do this cold or hot and does it continuesly, have not brought it anywhere for diagnosis and there is no check engine light on. Would the computer store a tranny code and not light up the check engine light?

What causes hard shifting in a Chevy Impala?

Erratic and hard shifting can occur from a failed transmission pressure control solenoid. To fix this issue, a partial dis-assembly of the transmission is necessary to replace a failed pressure control solenoid. once i am at a complete stop and i get ready to go the car will take a moment and then jerk.
