1993 90s drop in power
About 3 days ago i felt that my engine lost the power that it used to have. The car accelerates very slowly and shifts gears on higher rpm (about 50 or so), and when i go up hill or something sometimes it drops the gear and rpm jumps up to 65, do any of you know what could be the problem?
And another thing, i haven't used my AC this summer and when i turned it on acouple of days ago it worked fine, but after about 5 hours of driving i saw white smoke/mist comming out of the central AC vents. I turned it of right a way, the next day i tried to see if the smoke would apear again, but nothing happened. What could that be?

Power problem sounds like it could be a clogged catalytic converter!!
Just a few days ago we had a discussion about the "mist" with the A/C on. It's actually a water mist....(i.e. condensation). It's common, it just means it was humid outside!! It's nothing to worry about, you can let the A/C run next time!!
HTH!!

Re: Any1 else know ...?
Factory cats cost ~$1000 each!! Because of this you'll want to go with an aftermarket cat.
Many people on the list have used <A href="http://www.discountconverter.com/"><b>Discount Converters</b></a> with great success!!
Also, if your car is an <b>automatic AND FWD</b> you may have a <b>RECALL</b> on one of the cats. If both of the above conditions are met it's worth a call to the dealer to find out!!

recall!
hey-
you might want to check and see if you can get that thing replaced at the dealer- FOR FREE! not sure what the limitations are on recalls- but there was a recall on one of the cats in the '93 90s, and i had the cat replaced ON MY 93 90S for free! oh- and the ac thing- dont worry bout that at all- just condensation!

Re: Recall?
a recall is basically when the maufacturer screws up and fixes it for you, as far as i know. what you have to do is call the dealer with your VIN and ask about any open recalls. i did the same thing and am currently waiting for the driver side cat to arrive at the dealer-free!
