And might want to take it in...
Miss fireSuperMat64 said:Two days ago i was backing up with my Terrain and the motor started to struggle (low rpm shake) and i put it on neutral and the Check Engine light started to flash for about 5 seconds. After that all went back to normal... Never done that again since that... It last about 5-7 seconds...
Anybody had that "problem" ? Any clue ?
No offense, but this looks exactly like a basic behavior when put in it too much load in low rpm. It could happen when backing up if the road is not level. I bet you can reproduce it anytime, just put something behind your wheel.SuperMat64 said:Two days ago i was backing up with my Terrain and the motor started to struggle (low rpm shake) and i put it on neutral and the Check Engine light started to flash for about 5 seconds.

Just one tank of poor quality fuel (i.e. low octane, water, poor additives) like one may get at the "big box" stores (not naming names here) can make a DI fuel injected engine run not-so-great under some conditions. My wife bought some "big box" fuel in her new Audi (a DI 2.0L Turbo) on two different occasions this past year and had similar issues. Hint: don't buy eggs there. The Audi dealer found "nothing wrong" and was essentially useless/clueless but I guessed it was fuel or a bad plug coil. We tried fuel first; yes it was the fuel that was bad. The problems went away after one new fresh tank of gas from our regular station (Shell) both times that she ignored my advice not to buy cheap gas station fuel; we ran the tank to where it had maybe 2gal left both times and all was well. She has not had a problem since avoiding the "big box" fuel. Give it a try.
