Whats up guys? My names Tray Kinnision, I'm from the bootheel of Missouri, I've been reading the site when I need help with all different things on my ride and have found it here so I decided hey I'd join to talk smack with everyone. My car has 148xxx miles on it, yes very high but I got it with 113xxx on it and it has ran nice for me since then. Only big problems were a shock was needed for passenger rear and my intake is a fender-mounted 1 so I got the engine flooded 1 night, damn puddles! LoL So it has ran me good but I do have a problem now that bothers me ...

It's a 96 RS automatic, when I take off with it on the floor and hold it til it shifts, when it does about 6300 or so, it sorta pops or something, I'd say backfire. I dunno what it is doing it, probably many things but I figured maybe some of you have had this problem and had it fixed. Someone told me the head may have a problem with it I dunno but when I'm tryin to haul some ass I gotta let off at about 5500 and go from there, so if anyone can help!

I haven't had this problem. But have you tried changing the spark plugs and spark plug wires to see if that may be your problem?

Do a tune up...dont forget the fuel filter. Have you had the injectors cleaned in the past 40,000 miles or have they been replaced at all. Possibly a fuel issue or tune up issue.

Where exactly are you located in the bootheel? I live about 9 miles south of the bootheel in AR.

I live in Kennett, but work in Blytheville, you?

When mine was an auto, I had the same prob, which I really think it isnt a problem, but just a "thing". I cant explain what it is, but I did everything I could think to loose the "6k farting" and never could. When I did the tranny swap, it never happened again. So I think its a normal thing for the auto's.

Live in Monette, go to College in Blytheville.

Well you see, when the flood happened I changed the plugs, no have yet to change the wires but plan upon it, whats a good brand to use? And do they add power or anything?

I have a feul filter I bought year ago or so but my step-dad and I couldnt find where to put it on LoL But he thinks the problem may just be that I'm losing fuel flow when my rpm's high that high, so I may have my filter put on soon, hopefully that will solve the problem. Thanks guys,any other tips just let me know. TrAy

Oh cool, your ever in Kennett holla at me.
