Answer
Hi David... check MAP sensor, check for a plugged cat converter, bad o2 sensor.just because they don't trip a code doesn't mean they can't be bad. plug in scan tool and look at the readings for each of those sensors, make sure they are in manuf range.try a good inj cleaner. also check to see if lock up for torque converter is disengauging. hope this helps
