Pelles Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 yup, im loosing drive in the escort.....(me moms one) when im in second, third, fourth or fifth, and i put the pedal to the floor, the car just revs high then about 3 or 4 seconds later the revs will die down and then the car will start going. Im unsure if its a problem or not, its doing it sometimes and i thought it was just me being hard on the car i.e. flooring it in third when engine was slightly cold, but sometimes it feels like it slingshots the car once the revs die down the car just shoots off...... anyone know if theres a problem? or had the same?
