Is it just 3rd gear? How does it accelerate in 4th and 5th?

 

I'm not sure let me go test it out and get back to you.

 

Have you checked the fuel pressure? Since your car has the 420a in it, you should be able to check the pressure at the fuel rail. There should be a check valve that almost looks like a tire inflation valve. I remember that on my 95 GS. It could be your fuel pump going out on you. That, or your fuel filter is clogged. Just a thought.

 

I'll have to check that out! Thanks!

 

Ok so I found out that the problem is I've been shifting it into 5th, not 3rd. For some odd reason shifting straight up on my cars, putting it into 5th. To get it into 3rd I actually have to shift up and to the left a bit, almost back at first....Any ideas why this is??? Thanks everyone.

I almost lol'ed until I read the rest.

 

You should try adjusting your shift linkage. If you search there are already some good how tos on the subject.

 

Inspect your shifter cables and make sure the ends are not broken. Then check your shift levers on the transmission and see if they look bent or not. Check your shifter itself and make sure it looks in order; bolted down right, bushings, bump stops. After those three things,if everything checks out, then try adjusting the cables.

 

My guess is some bushings are worn out.

 

You would think when going from 3rd (5th) to 4th, you would have noticed something was amiss.

 

Yeah, check your linkage.
