But my vote is going towards your plug wires.
Thanks for all the help, but i,m still having the same problem. I have had the wires, cap,rotor and points replaced, but i still have the same problem. I also have one other problem! When I'm on the highway, the car will just drop out of overdrive, it scuttles back and forth from 4th to 3rd to 4th, it will only stay in third for a second or two, then go right back into overdrive. I've had the car to 2 transmission shops and there are no codes, and no one can figure it out. The car only does these things sometimes, maybe 1 out of 3 times that i take it on the highway.This is driving me nuts because, the car runs perfect other times,and no one can figure out what the problem is. I've had a trans tune up,and complete engine tune up, including changing the wires, cap, rotor,points, and plugs. And cant think of anything else! HELP!!!!
