ok so yesterday I washed the car and got it ready to go cruising. and I cleaned the engine compartment as usual with simple green as i have done many times before. I go to the autoparts store for misc. items... no problem. went home and then down the road to a friends house.. felt sluggish but still didnt seem like any issues.
Well I then went for a cruise, I do drive my car hard but I was actually just cruising with the top down and didnt get into it at all. I take off from a light and as i come up through the gears, shifting at about 3500-4000, She stumbles haaaard in 2nd gear at 2800-3000. I shift and she continues on,.. but the uh oh radar has been alerted. well it calms down and doesnt do it for awhile then it starts up again a few lights later. it always does it on take off and while accelerating normally. if i am in it at all it is fine. doesnt matter what gear sometimes 2nd sometimes 3rd and so on. once to cruising rpm she feels fine.
Well i was about to head out to the hang out spot and she just died.. wouldnt restart, theft light flashing. I pushed it over and me and a few friends start looking it over. I think it may be something to do with the pulleys because the belt has jumped 2 or 3 teeth over and it is mangled. we did get it started after reseting and i got her home.. just lost as to what could be up. OH and the Overdrive Off light came on while i was cruising in 4th gear... kinda strange to me. any suggestions. my mechanic will have her tomorrow.. just curios and wanted to post in case someone else has the same issue one day.:SNSign:
