Definitely putting her in for one of those. I have absolutely no idea why we only changed the oil before driving to Michigan and back. 1985 Marquis with only 45k on it, just FYI. Thought about the gear problem you mentioned. She stalls when I'm switching between Drive and Reverse, but not when coming to a complete stop from 65. When I can solidly stop, it's usually okay. Idling drives her up the wall. Switching to Neutral only helps because it means I don't have to change gears *after* she stalls. I have no objections to an hour or two of labor, but the other half of the reason I posted is who? No one in my family knows a professional mechanic, and the shop in Michigan couldn't hook it up to their Diagnostic Computer and gave up. It didn't even stall in Canada, so the guy there couldn't diagnose a problem that didn't seem to exist.
