After a series of problems this summer that very nearly led me to turn in my girl (Fergie) to Cash for Clunkers, I decided to rescue her and had a bunch of work done at the British Rover Company in Pompano Beach, FL. Norman and Erich were great, my girl looks like new, and drives (almost) like new.
I know that the RRC will never be mistaken for a race car but I remember having more power than I do now...it just feels like something's holding it back. Florida is pretty flat, and 95% of the time Fergie drives great, but now when I get to the slightest incline, like going over a bridge, she just can't seem to keep up without my having to really mash the accelerator to force a downshift.
Before Florida, I was in Rochester, NY and northern NH and ME...with plenty of hills and mountains, and I never felt that power was an issue. So, I don't really know what to check...everything seems to be running smoothly.
The one issue I have that has been present for a while now is the occasional almost-stall when started hot. She starts great cold, but when driven for 5 minutes or so then turned off for a few minutes, she falters when I go to restart and I sometimes have to give a little gas to smooth out the idle. BTW, I've already cleaned the stepper motor...
Any thoughts, suggestions?
