Two more odd issues.

#1 in gears 1-2 At full throttle the cat will not go past 4300-4500 rpm. It will hover at 4500 and not up shift.

#2 in gears 3-4-5, at full throttle the car goes into neutral. Which makes it not suitable for highway driving.

When I am normally putting around it acts fine.

Why is it doing this? Bad transmission, bad kickdown, faulty transmission electronics, or simply clogged fuel filters?

I'm scheduling a 6 can diesel purge sometime next week. Maybe that will help.



Resonator flaps in the intake manifold have to work properly!!!! The car will run fine at slow speed, by will bog down at higher speed and rpms!!!
