Power is dying. Once you step off the gas pedal it feels like it is going in reverse. Tough time going uphill Main problem, though, is the RPM is very high (at 60 MPH its already up to 4000). It is not kicking into gear after it reaches 40-50 MPH. Not sure if the idiling is too high, but dont think the idiling is the problem. Strange thing: It runs great at times.
