    idle problems

    I have a 96 gt automatic and the idle is getting really annoying. At a stop the car shakes alot. I have to put it in park to make it stop shaking. It's even worse if the ac or heater is running. It's the worst when the car is cold though. Another thing I've noticed is that it takes a little...

    smoking cat

    the rear catalytic converter on the passenger side has smoke coming out of it. it started a couple of weeks ago but was infrequent. now its a lot more frequent and the smoke is getting thicker. could it be something evaporating off of it? if it is going bad, what could happen? also how much is...

    transmission slipping?

    No there isnt any shuddering in the rear wheels. Last night however was the first time I noticed that it revved up while I was driving. I was about to hit 60 and the rpms went a little over 4000 before it finally settled back to the usual 2000.
