Does my governor cause a surge???
I have a 700 and if I down shift from 4th to 3rd and floor it, the car surges and goes from 4500 to 5000 back and forth forever. If I do a race (from a dead start) I do not notice this problem. I don't even know if I have a governor. If I do, how can I get rid of it.

Everyday, I look at my Trans/Am, and it makes me sad to see its current state of disrepair. I don't even know how long it has been.
When I bought the Nissan, I assumed it was my daily driver, not my exclusive driver.



It is a 355 82 trans am. My mods are here, my 82 T/A

The governor that is talked about on this board controls transmission shift points, etc. Most transmissions have them but they do not control engine fuction at all.

Forget about the governor and solve the high throttle lean condition.

Yes you have a governor, you could remove it but the car won't move afterwards.
Maybe try to explain the problem a different way so people reading can get a better idea of exactly what your car is doing.
Does it do it with the shifter in third (drive) or does it do it with the shifter in OD (fourth)?
