This site is great for info! I have been reading it for a few weeks now and love it. So, here's my first post:
I have had my 85 for about 13 years and it has always shifted into each gear to quick (unless I am nailing it.) If I drive normal it shifts from 1st to 2nd too soon and bogs down unless I give it a little more gas. And when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd it is even worse! When it shifts to 3rd, the RPM goes down to about 800 and really bogs down. It sounds just like when someone shifts a stick into gear way to early. Is there any way to change when it shifts into each gear? I would love to have 1st and 2nd gear shift at about 1800 or just shift when it can go into the next gear and not be below 1100 or so.
Anyone else have this problem or have a solution?
Another problem I have always had is, when my car is warmed up, and I am stopped and it is idling at 500-550, if I hit the gas and then immediately let the gas off, it will stall. It drops down to about 400 and then stalls. It does this every time I am getting on a freeway if the onramp has a stop light that lets cars go one at a time. Or if I am at a fast food drive-through and moving forward 1 car at a time. You know what I mean... Is there some way to adjust the idle to say 600-650 so when it drops down it doesn't hit 400 and stall? Or better yet, is there a way to fix this and leave it at 500-550 idle?
Thanks a lot to all you smart people out there who give so much help to everyone!
