Re: SVX can't climb hills
I went for a little test drive today. I've gone about 40 miles of mostly highway speeds with very little flogging. Went towards the mountains and drove some of the hills with no gas cap.
I can say that the gas cap is not the issue, since I'm sitting in a parking lot somewhere in New York waiting for e problem to subside so I can make it home.
It was very gradual this time. at first, it seemed to not want to downshift until I put my foot down a little farther.
Then it had a slight hiccup at a stop sign a few miles later. About 3 miles after that, there was no power past half throttle. By the time I pulled over, it was angry just to idle.
I got a garage to use this week, so I should be able to take the O2 sensors out and see the flow from both sides. Can I clean the O2 sensors while they are out?
Thanks again for the help, guys. I'm just going to chill out here until she wants to run again. I wonder what CDs I have.... *finds the only CD is Creedence Live*... Damn it.
