First off, this list is just awesome. I do not know much about cars and i have learned so much in just the month I have owned my vehicle by all you fine people. Ok here is what my Van is doing (and all things said it is not that big a deal but I would like to work it out since I think it may be hurting my gas mileage)I am only getting about 14. Van does have brand new heads by Ken at Vanagin...he was great....that is whole 'nother story Mostly the very 1st drive in the morning (it is my daily driver) the Van seems to not want to go when I give it gas...kind of sputters a little, it will go but I have to really be easy on the peddle. If I push on the peddle hard I either get nothing or a sputter...no smoke I dont think. Problem is gone about after 2-3 minutes of driving. Like I said not the biggest deal The 2nd thing is that when I go to make a turn, after my turn is complete I give it gas and it feels like the gas flow is solid and revs real nice with power, but it will take a second for the Van to "catch" and take off. Maybe a transmission issue but I am thinking it is more realted to the 1st problem. It is not real noticeable but it is to me...something is amist. Thanks so much from Rainy South Florida Tim 91 Carat AT |
