Bill90Loyale Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Two things to consider from the archives: 1. Bushings in distributor headed south; or 2. Alternator on the fritz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misledxcracker Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Could the ATF level and the ATF itself have anything to do with this? I've only had this happen to me once, and it was right after i took up a steep grade.. Seemed like a dying disty, but it's not loose at all. The alternator is newish; and it checked out OK on the meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
