Are you saying it`s only giving you issues on hills or inclines? how is it on flat highways?
Even with a 3.42 gear you should still not have any issue towing it!
When you had the tune up done did they replace the fuel filter? it could be partially plugged and not delivering enough fuel under load!
Are you letting the engine rev on the hills or are you backing off because your worried about it revving to high?!
On the flat I have the gas pedal all the way down and it will not get over 60 for a long time, going downhill I can get it going a little faster and the cruise will hold. Any kind of incline and in cruise it just slows down. So then I press the gas pedal to the floor but the engine does not even drop into a lower gear like it did before and on the day I dropped the transmission. On that day I could stomp the gas pedal and it would drop down and accelerate.
I asked the first mechanic to check all filters, belts, fluids and replace if needed. The second mechanic said he checked, they were all good. The only problem I seem to have is even tho the second one set the rpm to 800, but when cold the engine dies if I brake and coast when I start out. Once engine is hot it doesnt do this and not at higher speeds.
