Valve Adjustment Fixes Subtle Issue
I noticed a while ago that when my car was in 5th gear with the torque converter locked up and I was under heavy load accelerating slowly, there was a very slight sensation of mis-firing or something. It was subtle enough to wear my passengers didn't notice it but I could. I figured when I changed my plugs a couple weeks ago that the problem would go away but it didn't. Yesterday I had my valves adjusted and the mechanic indicated that the intake valves were on the loose side and the exhaust was on the tight side. This morning during my commute to work I noticed the issue is totally gone. It never dawned on me that my car wasn't breathing right. I am elated right now.
