Recently purchased a Micro Minnie Winnie. I used to own an 1986 Dolphin that was awful, as had been lived in by some goofball so it was in need of rehab. My new 1991 has a beautiful house area, and a rebuilt v6 with about 20,000 miles.
Drove the rig back from Montana to So. Cal after purchase and was surprised at how utterly gutless it was over all the many mountain passes. It performed about as badly as my 86 4 cyl, when it was loaded with 4 people and all suppl for two week trip to Wash and back to So. Calif. I expected that an empty six cyl. would do better.
The check engine light indicator is on and it shows knock sensor alert. Mechanic said it was fine and the sensor is an expensive fix.
Any input?
