Glad your problem is solved, but with a stock cam why are you having so many misfires...Maybe its time for new plugs? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

the symptoms are when your going say 45-60 and all of a sudden the car feels like it slips into 3rd outta OD. Thats when the converter unlocked, then 2 mins after the converter would lock back up(feels like OD)

but man, does it ever feel so much better to drive now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
