Sign In At around 25 years old this could be a lot of things but if it's been maintained and is running smooth but loss of power I would be checking for an exhaust restriction. A fairly easy test is checking manifold vacuum.......... Test at idle you should see about 18 Hg of vacuum. Now raise the idle to near 2,000 RPM and it should be dang near the same reading. If it drops more than a smidge it's telling you that's the place to look. If so the most likely restriction is the catalytic converter. If this does seem like the problem hit back and I'll try to narrow the odds for you before you spend bucks on a part you don't need, T nicholascripe New User Nov 27, 2006, 6:02 AM Post #3 of 3 (1765 views) Re: car will not go past 70..
