RPM Problem

[Jeffrey Merrifield 2]

Im having a problem with my 2002 ST, when going about 60mph and flooring my gas pedel the rpms shoot up but I dont get any more speed. When I let off of the gas the rpms immediately go down. When I disconnect the battery the problem goes away for a while but will return and there is a slight vibration. Any Ideas????

Could be the transmission going bad......



Hard to understand the problem, Can you explain more ?

Dont really know how to explain it more.. its running a little rough, slight vibration. Almost as if Ive got off road tires. Say I'm doing about 60 and go to pass a car, I press the gas and the RPMs almost top out but I dont get anymore speed. Like something has slipped off. When I disconnect the battery and reset the computer its fine for a while, then it goes rite back to doing the same thing, but I havent had any check engine lights come on.

What ever that came with it. Dunno

someone suggested two different things, one an overdrive cable and two corrosion on the battery cables leading down to the frame.

How about this question.



Automatic or manual?
