Was coming home last night winding it up in 3rd, drawing some hard vac still accelerating on way to 4th when it started to detonate, then just as I was backing off of the pedal there was was what sounded like a sputtering exhaust leak started. Power seamed to drop off, like i'd lost a cylinder. Idle is a little rough, and definate loss of power.
Was worried that I may have blown another head gasket. Let it sit overnight and it started right up but same symptoms.
Had something simular happen on different car way back when. It turned out to be a converter that the inside blew out and clogged up the pipe. Checked out the exhaust and than being the standard restrictive factory junk, ....nada.
Can't really hear much in the engine bay as the tensioner rollers are so noisey.
Going to pull out the Bosch's and put Motorcrafts back in, sea if there are any clues while I'm at it.
As always, suggestions are welcome, all help appreciated.
