Here is my story, and oh man am I so happy about it.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
I am driving to a buddies and the rodeo starts hesitating when I give it gas, so I pull off the interstate and go to turn around to go home and pick up another car as I was already late, the hesitation gets worse and I will give it gas and it doesnt move, doesnt rev, stays at the same RPM.... YET I can push the clutch in and it will rev to redline if I want... Anywho, I keep cruising trying to limp it home and notice its getting HOT, so I pull off, let it cool, and try again and it gets HOT again. So fast its like the temp gauge goes with the speedo ?!?! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I call EVERY person in my cell phone at least twice trying to get a ride, they are either not answering, out of town or something. I even called ex-girlfriends trying to get home offering 50 bucks to anyone who would come and get me, I must have called 60 people....no luck.... So I let it cool for at least 40 mins, get it home by getting it going then shutting it off and coasting and starting that whole process again <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
Any ideas? I assumed a simple fuel delivery problem, but the overheating thing makes me thing something otherwise, not to mention I could push the clutch in and it would rev.... Also, when I stopped on a slope I can hear some fluid slopping around, almost seems like its behind me, but I could be wrong....
All I know is Im tired of this, and am about to go finance another truck/suv which I really cant afford right now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
