94 Grand Am quad for motor 62,000 miles 2 guys at work think is a misfire. The transmission shift smoothly and strong . The fluid may or may not be original I do not know. I have done of full tune up it has new plugs boots cap and coils. Also has a new fuel line and filter . However when you are hard on the gas it hits the rev limiter does not shift until slightly releasing the gas . The fluid does not smell burnt it does not bang into gear at any point. Only other thing is when shifting from park to drive takes a second to engage but I always thought that to be common with those anyone have a clue why it would hit the rev limit or and then not shift until releasing gas slightly???

there is no rev limiter that i have heard of on this model and my other question is why are you running the rpm that high to start with???

i have found the module on the valve cover causes a missfire as well. i include that in all my tune ups because it is a common failure
