I have a 2014 GMC terrain four-cylinder. Runs great Wellen park. Put it in drive and give it a little bit of gas and she starts to search wants to jump. Replace the purge valve and the throttle position sensor. A.k.a. throttlebody. Still no change, I pull up to a stop sign and she just sits there and Sergis wants to stall. Don’t know where to turn to next.

any trouble codes?
No, no codes at all. No lights on nothing.
does it smooth out as you are driving? does it only run bad in gear?
Runs beautiful in park and under load. As soon as I start slowing down and come to a stop it starts surging and feels like it wants to still. If I put my foot on the gas and feather it it smooths out. If I put it in park it smooths out.
when you come to a stop and its surging can you put it in neutral or park and it stop surging?
Yes and smooths right out. Rus great.
And I have already changed the purge valve and the throttle body
i believe you have a cam actuator solenoid issue but what's odd is they usually set a code but not all the time.they are cheap enough to just replace them both. get a gm set though,the aftermarket ones don't seem to hold up
I will give it a try thank you
