The engine makes strange sounds all the time.
The transmission seems to struggle to get past 26 mph.
The hood is blistered.
I really like my car, however it uses oil.
The transmission is going although I try to hang on to hope.
The engine sound like a washing machine a lot.
Smooth riding on the highway.
Looks real nice, black and majestic.
I have a 88 5th Ave, its struggles past 26 mph because it needs a tune up, and a the computer needs to be fixed. Same thing happened to me, now it runs great. Mine has 132 k on it and it runs like new. Last 318 put in a car, great engine.
Sounds like your car is a lot like mine. all the same problems. Except I have one more!!! Please if you would be able to help.. My fifth ave. wanted to kill me the other day. The gas pedal actually doesn't pop right back, and I feel it pop me in the foot after I take my foot off. it kept going faster and faster even with my foot off. nothing helped ended up putting on the brake as best I could. No one seems to know what to do??? snowflakes_7@hotmail.com Thanks, Nan.
Heres a thought check you transmission fluid I had an '87 with same problem once I figured out where the dipstick was it turns out all it need was fluid once I put it in I never had another problem.
Try changing your transmission fluid and the filter. That should help it out a lot. It's pretty cheap; you can get the filter and fluid at any parts store.
