I luv my 80 luv
PostPosted: Fri Nov 14, 2003 2:29 pm 
this morning i started my car to warm it up and when i got it started i began to rev it up . The engine let out a loud backfire and the car died. after many times of trying to restart it i let it sit for about ten minutes. It started back up but now the acceleration is terrible and i can't get it to go over 55mph. Can you help me?
