More questions. As you recall my car has no 3rd gear and the top speed is only 45mph. I did the tune up this past weekend and told you about the stuck valve adjustment screw on #3 intake. Ok, so my question is what could be keeping the speed so slow? The engine runs beautifully starts right up and has good power from a stop, actually amazing amount of zip from stop (better than my wife's civic). But I still can only reach about 45mph. Is this the tranny binding and keeping the speed down? Is it the out of adjustment #3 intake valve? Any Ideas, I want to get to the heart of the problem, tranny or engine? As we discussed, before blaming the tranny, do the tune up, but with the stuck adjustment screw, I don't know how each issue effects the other. Now, I know I don't want to go much faster than 45 in 2nd but I should be able to.
