Have a 1995 Buick Lesabre than runs decent but sitting still will only accelerate to 4000 rpm and misfires?

What this is called is a rev limiter this is put on the car because if you over rev your engine over 4000 rpm it will start throwing pistions out of the block and then you will have to buy another motor ...

86 olds- is this a tbi or carb engine?? If you have a tbi model - the most common issue is the AIC it is located on the side of the throttle body - cant miss it you will need a wrench about 7/8 or ~1 inch to remove it - it gets carboned up and needs to be cleaned or replaced they do go out of spec and cause problems- they are computer controlled for cold starts. I have replace many. if its a carbed model you (I doubt) you could have a rebuild issue by now or a cold start choke issue- see a mechanic\nHope this helps \nNorm

If you are putting in an X-pipe then you are doing cat-back but anyway i had bassani on 89 mustang 5.0L with trick flow every thing and it sounded great but i was a little over 400 HP it will depend on your application

if you don't know what you're doing. go to a local auto parts store and check out the repair manual for it.  it should give you a procedure for replacing it. if it seems like too much, then just get it in the shop.  don't put this off either, becuase if you do, it'll overheat and then you're out an engine.

a solid lift cam from a 1969 302 z28 engine, 202 intake valves, [preferably double hump heads, if you cant find these use 882 casting truck heads and have them cut for 2.02 intake valves.] a 700 double pumper holley, and most importantly,TIMING!!!! I MEAN BOTH IGNITION AND CAM TIMING. BUY A DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING SET AND RUN IT ON THE ADVANCED MARK. THEN BUY A RECURVE KIT FOR YOUR DISTRIBUTOR, RUN THE VACUUM LINE TO THE PORT ON THE CARB THAT SUCKS VACUUM ON ACCELERATION. WHEN YOU SET YOUR TIMING, REV THE ENGINE UP TO 3000 RPM AND HOLD IT THERE. ADVANCE THE TIMING UNTIL THE ENGINE BEGINS TO MISS OUT, THEN BACK THE TIMING OFF UNTIL IT RUNS SMOOTHLY AGAIN, AND TIGHTEN IT UP, THEN RE-HOOK YOUR VACUUM LINE TO THE CARB. DOING THIS WILL ENSURE YOU THAT THE CAM TIMING AND IGNITION TIMING ARE ON THE SAME AXIS, A MUST FOR STREET CAR PERFORMANCE, YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN PREMIUM FUEL, I RECOMMEND AMACO ULTIMATE, GOOD LUCK.

Drive less. Get a tune up, in general use less gas.

adjust the trim tab, check the prop, and check for a broken steering cable or part. More than likely you trim tab is out of adjustment. good luck

Try calling places like Midas or Monroe. Brake and muffler places do other work as well, and don't cost as much as a dealer.

If it doesn't bolt up your 5 liter engine is probably a Buick, Olds or Pontiac 307 not a 305.\n  These engines have a wider block. The intake manifold is a couple inches wider than the Chevrolet version.\n   GM installed these engines in some Chevys. They also put the Chevy engines in B.O.P cars.

tuning and screwed over are two completely different problems.  Get a manual for the snowmobile...not the owner's manual...a repair manual and it will tell you how to rebuild your perticular carb

go to www.allfordmustangs.com go into the tech department and look it up. I think it is under induction or Engine. Not completely sure. Hope it works. Good Luck.

I have a 72 monte (currently in restoration) and the new ones are CRAP compared to the old ones.  I have a friend who just traded in a 02 ? Monte because the trans was starting to slip.  I love chevys dont get me wrong, but if the stang is a V8 it is better as far as construction and life after miles is concerned.  As for the women thing, I see a lot of chicks driving mustangs, so if you get the stang you better trick it out if you want to stand apart from the ladies.  The monte has sexy lines, but the mechanical soundness is a turnoff.  (Dont pull up on a girl and try to talk to her if she cant hear you over the rattle under the hood) Go old school, chicks really dig that.

good carb  probly an 800cfm  the two screws in the front / bottem of the carb with springs. work slowly and at idial speed in 1/4 turns or 1/2 turns or one full turn.\n\nturn one screew in (tight) a 1/4 turn listen to the motor go another 1/4 turn lisen for a change do not ever rev the motor....wait be patient.... go another 1/4 never loose track of your starting point  whitch is 3/4 turn now\n\nwhen you hear a change in idial losen it a 1/4 wait some more\n\nnow do the other screew the same. I\n\nf the factory lock glue is still on the screews dont touch them\n\nand this will not save you gas

Losing the a/c pump will not gain horsepower if you don,t (it free Wheels when off)turn it on, a/c will draw up to a small % loss even when on\nyou will not notice it, only when you first turn it on the other thing i am thinking about here is you cant guess this stuff over a coumputer, need to see what realy broke !, a smog pump will draw less then 1/4 horse power, a dino will not even pick the up, besides the air pump is there for a reason, it cool combustion temp and ehx temps its a freind to your motor, dont belive otherwise. send photo of damage i will tell you what to do next, p/s that car is plenty fast from the factory, speed kills so keep it stock

Well I believe the mathematics w/ ratios leads it to be 21.76 RPM.  Only one way to find out for sure though, try it.
