Power loss problems HELP!
Background:
I just reinstalled an alternator and replaced a battery after they both failed on me in my wifes car. I can hear my belt squeeling at startup buti know that stems from me not tensioning the alternator well enough. It was sitting for near a month until I could swap new parts. The Real Problem: After I had replaced the alternator and battery I hopped in the car to take a spin around the block and make sure everything was in good condition. That is when I noticed that after first gear I have and extreme RPM drop AFTER first gear. I tried to high rev the engine before shifting to second, and even tried to high rev and switch from first to third, but both are the same. I will shift at 3-4k and as soon as the clutch engages the RPM's drop and the car sputters to a stop. Reverse is fine, first is fine, but I cannot keep within the RPM line on second plus even if I hold the accelerator. I am worriedsince this is our only car and my wife is losing days at work because of it, can anyone help us? |
