I don't even know how to ask this question much less do a search for it
I drove my car into work today and I noticed this problem recently but today was a good one. When I changed gears to drive away from my house, it seemed as if my speed didn't increase even when I was in 3rd gear, only the RPM's went up. So I'm out the neighborhood, in 3rd gear doing about 30mph and I punch it, just to see what happens....well, the RPM's went all the way up to 5k as if I had it in neutral but the car didn't go any faster?! I've had this 95 for about 2yrs now and it has never ran well. The previous owner removed all emission stuff including the EGR and lowered it.....a lot! It's a good looking car with all bolt on's and about 10k on both the engine and trans. Last time I had a similar problem people were telling me to clean the MAF so I did and it didn't help much. I wasted a whole can of cleaner and it looked the same so I assumed it was clean. It's running a burnt SCT chip from AM and so I'm guessing that's why the CEL doesn't come on and scanners do not work. I've done a KOEO test a few weeks ago and it did throw a few codes but they weren't anything important. Hopefully I have time to remove the chip tonight and run another test. Thoughts, Suggestion regarding this rpm issue?
