A couple years ago I swapped out my stock digital dash in my '87 GN for a GNX-style one from Performance Instruments (Tom Houser). I lost my VSS in the swap, so I've been riding around with a paper clip to keep the converter locked. Visited the strip 4 or 5 times and raced it with the paper clip.
I like to take the paper clip out for driving around when there's a lot of stop 'n' go. But I don't always take it out. Today I took it out to make a trip to the store.
Went to the store fine. On the way back, going down the road, I goosed it a little and the engine revved and the car didn't pull.
Changed gears - same thing in all gears. It pulled "slightly". I barely made it up a hill.
Fortunately, I was close to the shop that has done a lot of work on my car, so I pulled it in there.
He listened to it. Sounded a bit like a buzz saw. Thinks it's either the converter or the pump.
What do you think?
