Thanks for the reply fat3oy!
I haven't had it to redline. It just doesn't accelerate well at higher rpm.
NO lights; no smells; it downshifts fine. At highway speed, 60-70mph, if you stand on it, it downshifts and tries to go , but just doesn't do well.
It starts and runs very well at lower rpm; up to about 3k.
Tach is steady.
It acts like it runs out of gas.
I pulled the fuel pump and looked at it. Intake screen was pretty clean. I flushed the outside of the intake screen with clean fuel to remove the what little dirt was on it.
Fuel economy is about 20 mixed and 22.6 on a 250 mile trip.
Daily driving; it runs pretty well except when I want to accelerate like on an on-ramp. Then if I use about half throttle it runs well up to about 3k or so; then I need to get into another gear. I've been using Premium fuel for the last couple of months.
