Shutter on Uphill Acceleration
I am having a problem I am not sure how to diagnose and the car throws no codes. Car is a 2003 e53 4.4i with 150K miles. Spark-plugs replaced at 100k, transmission was rebuilt around 60K miles, motor mounts replace recently. I dont know if it is the engine, transmission, guibo, or something else. When I am accelerating uphill at about 2.5K RPMs the car starts shuttering but if I go above 2.5K RPMs the shuttering smooths out. If I just held it at 2.5K RPMs uphill it would continue to shutter. It doesn't happen all the time but seems to only occur going uphill. I also notice an intermittent higher pitched whine at higher speed on the freeway that seems to come on and off when i press the gas pedal though it is not a very loud whine and I dont know if these problems have anything to do with each other. I dont know what this could be. I have had bad coils before and it felt similar but I was eventually getting codes. I dont have anything to go on this time. Any thoughts or suggestions or other things to check? Thanks! |

Vanos? or hopefully a vacuum leak of some sort but either of those should throw a code.
If you manually shift, what happens at 2500 rpm in other gears?

It isn’t exactly easy, but if it is a new problem, with no other symptoms and no codes, I would check the transmission fluid level before doing anything else. May simply be low if it hasn’t been serviced in some time.
