Background: Until 2 days ago, 86 coupe ran without any major problems--------then all hell broke loose!
a. it started to backfire on start-ups
b. after it ran for a couple minutes, it started to miss
c. then it stopped running but would restart
d. could not go more than 30mph in D or OD (although floored)
e. it would run smooth up to 4000 or so rpm in 1 or 2
My garage has checked fuel pump(ok), PCV valve(ok) but it has a vacuum leak somewhere------still searching for that
Only other clue is that car had odd smell just before acting up---could this be cat converters? Prev owner said he had cleaned those out????? Any suggestions would be helpful!!!!!!!!!!
