What's wrong with my Monte??
Hey whats going on? I'm new to this site. I own a 2002 Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt Edition. Lately, my engine light came on. Took it to the local auto parts store, had them plug it in and tell me it was nothing but a gas cap problem. Simply replaced the gas cap, and the light turned off. Then about 2 weeks later, whenever I would accelerate my car wouldnt go anywhere. When I hit the gas is SLOWLY gets to speed and it's like I have to let go of the gas between gears. My Check Engine light then came on, along with Service Traction Sysytem, and my ABS lights. Now, the TS (traction system) and the ABS don't really concern me. It's more of the bogging down on the engine and the high rpms it hits without accelerating at all that is bothering me. Right now it's in the dealership getting looked at, but I dont want them to screw me over. Some friends of mine are telling me it sounds like an emissions problem, catylitic converter perhaps? I'm asking for anyone elses advice out there who might have experienced this problem or someone who knows more about cars than I do. Which is 99.8% of the members on here, lol. Thanks.

Based on the HUGE response I got, I figured I'd answer my own commercial. Def. the CC. Thanks for all the replies.

RE: What's wrong with my Monte??
these posts were done only 4 hours apart...most people work during the day...and i had inventory all day @ work then had to come home and put the baby to sleep but my first answer would have been you need a new cat convertor and that they are covered under warranty...also run some sea foam through your car too..that should help
