Ok guys i know you must be getting tired of me posting stuff like this but i really appreciate all the info. I used the sea foam product in my car and now i notice its running smoother although still feels as if there is a miss and the idle is still high, but when im driving the car now its picks up good when mashing the gas until it reaches about 45 then it will bog out at the same time u feel it bog there is a loud screech kind of like a belt screach as if the belt locks up and the pulley wheel is turning. I checked the tightness of the belt and everything is good. any ideas?

This bearing your talking about where is it and what kind? What could be wrong in the tranny? i had it rebuilt last year. but i did notice this started happening after adjusting the throttle body cable that goes to the tranny at least a short time after doing this.

well messing with the car a lil more i notice the noise is associated with the accelerator. it makes the noise even when in park and i rev the engine. when stepping on the peddle and putting it to the floor it makes the noise each time i do it.

how do u figure i didnt adjust it right i did exactly as the directions say to do it. go to the cable on the side of the throttle body push the square locking tab in to release the cone shaped thing(not sure of the name) then push that in all the way as far as you can go and release the lock to hold it in place and flush with it. then rotate the throttle body lever until you hear a series of clicks and then your done. thats what i did.

2Poor4Z is an unknown quantity at this point
check all your lines and everything.. may want to check the fuel pump and filter.. it could be shutting down.. and you adjusted your throttle body cable.. mayeb it isnt getting enough fuel or just slightly too much and overloading or underloading the engine with fuel

Well finally got my car today from the shop. i had the intake manifold resealed and the injectors replaced. The car is running smooth and idling fine. But the car to me feels as if it has lost power. It doesnt feel like its shifting very strong and when i mash the gas from a stop im not getting any tire spin. , what now.
