sorry i know this is for supercoupes but my car is a cougar and this is the best place i know for help on these vehicles, i have a 93 cougar xr7 3.8L v6. the other day i was driving it and it seems to be lagging on speed vs rpm. i know my transmission is slippin and goin out but im not sure what else it is.
what happened: i got to my car after eating dinner, i started it and the rpm gague was wigging out, hopping from 1.3 to .2 and back. then dies. i started again, reved it and it slowly went back to rhythm. i went to a gas station, left a minute later. decided to drive somewhere else. as i was crusing at like....35 mph, it just kinda sputtered and died. almost like when you run out of gas...just rpms got lower and lower no matter what i did. then just died. i pulled into a liqour store thankfully it was close by, and parked it. i started it again, let it run.....annnd as i closed the hood, it died again. just poof. even today, it runs, just seems to lag. i give it gas it feels like its walking on two broken legs. it moves but i can tell its not running the same way it did last week.
sorry for long post but any help on it? at first i thought it was overheating but the temp sensor was at the middle, and there wasnt any smoke. ....-.- this is my only transportation to work and back.
