when i go above 35-45 and i hit the gas a little bit it will go up tp 2000 rpm and i keep the gas at the same place and the rpms drop until i give it enough gas to kick down a gear so i do not know whats wrong with the bonnie?

It sounds like the torque converter in unlocking - like it'* supposed to. My 97 Ei does the same. Hopefully one of the gearheads will chime in.

For now, please check and report back your transmission fulid color, level, the last time the transmission was serviced and mileage.

Where is the boost gauge at before it goes up to 2000 rpm, and after?

Changed your fuel filter lately?

At that rpm.. you are not in the peak power band. Is this climbing hills or being pretty flat. I remmeber headiing to Intense and going through Columbus...seemed flat.

Because it is. Above the moraine.

Bob...neither your owl or dog know what that was about ???

uuuhhh.....No. What? :?:

i just put a used tranny in with new fluid and filter and the roads are flat and the boost stays the same just the rpms drop while i keep the gas at the same place and i have never changed the fuel filter since ive had it

I think you have a job for the holiday weekend, then. A fuel filter is about $12 at the parts puppies and swaps out in about 10 minutes (in rust-free states like California).

Use a magic marker and write the mileage on the filter so you know where you're at in the future.

alright thanks
