2004 Vue, Honda-powered 3.5L V6...
About 50 miles away from home returning from our vacation, it seemed like the trans was slipping..any medium or heavy throttle would seemingly cause the torque converter to spin-off. At least that's what it felt like.
I just saw $$$$$ flying out of my pocket if the trans was the problem.
Dealer said the injectors were dirty. They used a GM cleaner in the fuel rail during the injector cleaning and put a bottle of some GM cleaner in the tank.
So the problem is gone (it wasn't the transmission, thank G-D!) but I'm scratching my head over this. About 25% of the time, FP is used in this vehicle. It was used the previous 300 or so miles and it's still in the current tank (alongside the GM stuff). We drove many miles on this tank (about 200 miles) before this issue showed up.
Shouldn't FP keep the injectors and fuel rail clean with even only occasional use?
Are other Honda V6 owners seeing this same problem???
