I have a 92 lincoln town car, the gas pedal has been acting weird lately. It feels fine if I'm going around town, under 35mph, but if I press hard on the pedal it doesn't feel like it's giving the car any gas. I can press it down to the floor and it doesn't give it power. It makes a sound like the sound a car is in neutral and you press on the gas. I took it on the freeway yesterday to see if I can get it to 70, and I could but it took a while.
I know it's not a very good car, but I don't have a lot of options right now. Any help would be great. thanks,
jesse

Sounds like your transmission may be slipping. It's hard to tell from your description though. You need to have someone road test the car to determine what's going on.
