  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

MPH problems

    Hello, I have a Buick electra 1984. Recently I am having problems whenever I hit 45 or 55mph the car will clog up. It feels like when it hits 45 or 55 its hard to make it to 60MPH. I put on a flowmaster muffler, it helps but I still have the problem with the speed. If anybody can help me out TIA.

    Do you still have the Catylic converter on it??? I used to have a car that would not go over 60 no matter what... turned out to be a plugged converter.

    Good Luck,

    yes I do. The cat converter is plugged? Also if it helps, no idiot lights come on, and the trans shifts normal so I dont think its a big problem.

    With my old car... It would run fine... get up to speed like normal.. until I hit 60.. then it was like hitting a wall. I could go from 1/8 throttle to WOT and not gain 1mph. but there was no miss, noise, hesitation, just sounded like the motor had nothing left.

    If I were you, I'd pick up a length of pipe from autozone.... with some clamps. and cut the cat. out of there, and place that in there. If it starts to run fine then you've found your problem.

    Weather or not you choose to run another cat is up to you. I've never run one, but I don't live in areas where they check emmissions.
