1987 Ford E-Series Van loss of power
1987 Ford E-Series Van V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic
My van has no power at highway speeds. In town it does fine, but once it gets above 40 or 50mph it just doesnt have any more power. And, if I'm going up any kind of grade, about 50-55mph is all I can get out of it. What could be the problem?
