151k miles

Recently filled up transmission fluid. Also put Lucas "Tune up" in a bottle in the fuel to see if that would help or be a quick/cheap fix.


My vehicle has been underpowered for some time, taking for ever it seems to shift into overdrive. I can eventually get up to speed, but 4000 RPM's and about 70 mph is the cap.
Sometimes when I take off it hesitates for a quick second then seems to catch.
I was just wondering if anyone had some suggestions? I am thinking it is Spark Plugs/wires, Catalytic converter or both.

Thanks in advance!

 

its possible its a clogged cat have you checked for codes because it will store all codes thrown even if the light came on for a fraction of a second and you didn't notice it.

 

welcome to the show first of all ...

second, some parts places will come out w/ a car scanner and help you w/ the codes if the cheque engine light pops up on your dash ...

if you want cheque your air filter, plugs, etc .... to see if there are any additional needs for the car ..

 

I'm assuming that the CEL is not on and that you didn't find any codes. Always check that first like the other guy said.

Check that the timing belt is in time. An old belt can skip a tooth (which by the way, if you have never changed it, 151K miles is long overdue). It is supposed to throw a code when the crank and cam sensors don't agree but may not always.
