That is what it look like, a clogged converter. Also did you try new spark plugs? sometimes misfires are indication of lack of spark. Get some new NGK's and a new rotor, which should help considerably. I had the same problem some time ago where I had to downshift even on a light steep on the highway, T got new spark plugs, rotor. Also check this out, I went for new ACCEL spark plug wires but they at the autopart they didn't have them in stock at the moment [img]images/icons/mad.gif" border="0[/img], so they were going to order them for $25.00 and some change but BOOM!!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] I had a better idea, I grabbed a set of wires for an 8cil. for also $25.00 and now I have a spare set of wires for the same price [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]<P><B>JAVYPRO</B>
