The missing at high rpms could be a few things...

Throttle position sensor, don't ask me why, that's what my textbook said. It doesn't seem to make sense to me, but maybe someone can make heads or tails out of it.

It sounds like you might be running a little rich, in which case I would use a octane booster, this should get your plugs nice and clean.

I have always been a bit of a shadetree myself, get the car running, drive around town about 10 miles, work on it some more, that's what I love about the tour, it's practically 3X better than that, consistantly. I mainly like to tear it apart, what's it worth having a car if you don't tear into it every now and then.

Personally I love the feeling of slamming the throttle to the floor, and dropping it from neutral to drive, this car is indestructable.

Has anyone used their tour to haul animals? I live on a farm, just wanted to know if it's a good idea or not. ...



OK, Buzz. First off, you're scaring us. Please don't scare us any more.

Towing with the Tour is not a great idea. It's a great car to drive & tear into & have fun with, but you'll note from the Tranaxle forum that the automatic tranny is a weak point if not maticulously maintained - and even then it can be problematic.

Neutral drops are also a really bad idea if you plan to keep the car for any length of time. I suppose that would be true for just about any car. Modern transmissions are not designed for any kind of consistant abuse.

That's it for now. See ya round Harden..er.. I mean Buzz.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
