i recently purchased a 1996 RS camaro automatic that needs work but being that its a camaro i obviously have acclerated quickly at green lights etc. I notice when i step on the gas to hard n quickly (pedal to the medal) the engine seems to stall/rev put around when i reach 40ish miles per hour, i wonder whats the cause of it, is it the transmission? do i need a new one? or is it something else? it runs fine when i drive normal by the way. Any clear information is welcome.

 

If all is well when you're driving normally I woudln't think it would be the tranny. Sounds like it could be an issue with the higher RPM. You may want to do a general tune up (Plugs, wires, fuel filter, change fluids etc.) and check your fuel pump to make sure it's operating correctly.

 

thank you for your reply, your probably right i do have lots to change on the car in due time, i will see if it continues the problem after the tune up/changes

 

Does it hit the rev limiter? See if this helps...
