I just finished replacing my lower and upper intake gaskets, as well as the fuel manifold and thermostat gaskets. I got everything back together, and the engine runs fine (sounds great actually!), but I'm having problems in the low RPM range in 1st gear and 4th-5th gears.
When I step on the gas from a dead stop, the engine sounds like it is choking or not firing. After about 10 MPH, it runs fine and accellerates fine. Then, when I go to get on the freeway, I can't get the gears to shift down to accellerate. It's a slow run up to 55-60.
There are no air or fluid leaks in the engine, and all of the fluids are set right, except for the transmission fluid being a touch high. I replaced all of the plugs during the rebuild. I haven't checked the engine codes yet because I haven't seen a CEL come on. Anyone have ideas about this? Where do I start to look? Thanks
