OK, my face is RED but with a smile. It'd probably been more miles than
I'd thought since changing the fuel filter. Change it and the air
filter (don't think the air filter was really bad) and now it
accelerates and shifts as it should. Just goes to show that those
scheduled maintenance things can be important. I'm in the process of
obtaining a cam sensor to keep on hand. After all the problems that
folks have with them, will be good insurance. Thanks.
