Ok. heh, I dunno who all kept up with my story, but.. about a month ago, I was having horrible gas mileage, extremly sluggish throttle response and just an overall bad driving experience.
I cleaned my kkm, reset the computer and the difference was night and day.. gas mileage jumped from 10-14mpg and I was having no problem.
Well, about a week ago, it all started again, now its slower than ever. My powerband is limited to 2000-3000 rpm... anything above or below that I simply don't get anything out of it.
Today I was messing with a guy in a delsol who was trying to go around me (just cos he was ricey like that hehe) and punched it.. it wouldn't downshift at all and he sailed past me like nothing..
Whats going on with this thing? I take it to the shop, they say theres nothing wrong, I'm not exactly financially fit at the moment to pay $700 for a new transmission. Is it something I'm doing? How do I resolve such? and lastly.. shouldn't a v8 mountaineer be faster than a stock del sol?
