Notice that my car been going up hill at a real slow pase where other 240s i know of will climb it with no problems. The fastest i went up a hill was 25mph max and thats from a 20mph start. But when i have no start it acts like im driving a 5ton bus. At thos times my car will reach 15mph and stay there even if i floor it to the point i press the force shift switch behind the gas.

The cars a 89 KA24E Auto. It pulls hard still and runs fine, just has a bad timing i need to adj, other then that the only major problem i see is the uphill problem.

Anyone know what this could be?

Thanks

Turn off the OD or stick it in 2nd gear. By the way, what gear does it sound like you're in when you go uphill?

lol, sorry. I just assumed that it was a stick. I guess I hate autos so much that I just forget they exist.

OD is always off. And i do not even know what gear its in...its a auto and the sound of the diffrent gears are hardly diffrent. I hate auto..

watch ur RPM (or listen to it). When first gear goes to 3000 RPM, then drops to a lower RPM, it has changed gears, and so forth. Heck, start your car off in Low gear, then switch to 2 gear when ur RPM reaches 4000 or so and stay on 2nd while uphill, then to D when youre back on level ground.

Ok, it pulls fine. Took it out for a drive today, and i remberd why i was going so slow up that hill. Since its a auto i forgot to switch it to a lower gear that day. Switched it to a lower gear today and it pulled up the hill fine.

Just got of the gas and went slower cause the timing chain rattle always scares me.

Im a retard. =x
