Re: Acceleration problem above 35 mph...

Roaddirt I feel from common sense that if the engine does not hesitate or misses when you accelerate the car it is not the engine. If the engine does drown when WOTing the car I would think the problem is leaning more to the engine. But I think it leans more to the tranny since the engine iddles correctly and accelerates correctly. Depending on the load the tranny put on the engine is how it behaves so if the tranny puts an herratic load to a good engine the engine will accelerate herratically but without hesitation of misses. If the engine rough idles or misses the car will accelerate more or less ok and you can feel the engine failing directly.
