  • Car seems to lag at 3000 rpms

    Recently my car has been feeling like it pulls hard up to 3000 rpms then hits a wall at 3000 rpms and seems to struggle up to about 3200 rpms then after that it will pull hard again. Any ideas?

    my 94 'bird does the same thing...i got it checked out and they had no idea what it was...they suggested that i just leave it alone becuase it would probally end up costing a lot to fix...and i really haven't looked into it too much more...i got a tune up on my car and the problem isn't as bad...sometime soon i will try to fix it again...i will let you know if i find out anything more about it if you don't first..:)

      What did you get done when you got your tuneup? I recently replaced the plugs/wires, and actually had my trans/clutch/flywheel off my car because I had to change some rusted out freeze plugs, it seemed to be on before that.

            hmm... that is wierd? Have you had your coil packs checked out? you can do it yourself with an ohmometer. Maybe you guys jsut need new fuel filters?

            Either way sounds kinda fo funny. Jsut out of curiousity how many miles on your CATS?

              I replaced my cat probably at the most 10,000 miles ago. There is also an annoying rattle when I coast to a stop in neutral or with my foot on the clutch. It sounds like something is about to fall off my car. im clueless.
