Poor Acceleration At Low Speed

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 36 other vehicles, including the 2002 Pontiac Firebird, 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, and 2002 GMC Sonoma. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the stator is freewheeling at all times, the vehicle tends to have poor acceleration from a standstill. At speeds above 30-35 MPH, the vehicle may act normally. For poor acceleration, you should first determine that the exhaust system is not blocked, and the transmission is in 1st gear when starting out.

If the engine freely accelerates to high RPM in Neutral, you can assume that the engine and the exhaust system are normal. Check for poor performance in Drive and Reverse to help determine if the stator is freewheeling at all times.
