George_Jetson Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 If it slipped a tooth, there would be very little power. How long has it been since your last tuneup? If it has been a long time, that is where I would start. Make sure that you check the plug wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this car from a little ole lady with 75k miles and now it has 85k I don't think she ever did any maintence past 30k.. So far I've change the oil 4 times in 10k miles,had the tranny flushed,anti freeze flushed, plugs and wires changed last night "very tough job"....Timing belt,seals,and water pump soon.
