ok this is my problem: i have a 1984 camaro berlinetta.everything was just fine a month ago i drove it to n.c and the timing chain went.After installing the chain i drove the car back to ny.i figured it wasent driving like it use to b/c the timing was off.
so i had the engine timed,But the problem is, ever since then its like i have a bad tranny.For example if im driving normal u cant tell the difference but when i step on it the car goes no where,i mean it use to just take off leaving tire smoke behind and now i feel like im in a tempo.i took the car to ammco transmision,they put in another tranny but when i got the car out the shop it still had the same exact problem.So i took the car back and had a second tranny put into the car,got it out and still the same problem i mean when i floor it i hear the engine trying to take off,its like the engine sounds like im doin 80 but im only goin 35.
i've been told it was a vacum module on the tranny but the loser at ammco is telling me that my tranny does not have a vacum and that its electronic.does ur tranny have the vacum?is it possible that the timing chain is in wrong and could be causing all of this?do u know anyone who has had a problem like this before.
the motor is a 305 5.0L and the tranny is a 700r4 please give me all the advice you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By have the engine timed i belive he timed the cam,but im not to sure about all this mechanic stuff i just know he was screwing with the distribter cap when he did it.

 

First off I know a guy at an AAMCO in Buffalo and he is NOT a loser, OK? In fact HE knows that the 700 does NOT have a Vacuum Modulator and now YOU do, OK?

Let's think about this logically. This started AFTER you worked on the engine and now, TWO trannies later you still have the problem, right? Find a good engine man and have them fix it. letting them know that the cam may be off a tooth. Let me ask a couple of questions though. Does the engine free rev in Neutral? If not then either you have a plugged exhaust or it is the engine as the tranny won't have any effect on that. Next, just in case the TV Cable is set to shift early, what happens when you manually hold the tranny in a lower gear? Again, if it makes no difference you are looking at the engine.

 

i've been told it could be my T.V cable and that it runs from my tanny to my carb,speaking of which my uncle was screwing with the carb right after i put in the chain,could this be the problem??

 

Reread my previous post about manual shifting.

Could the CARB itself cause this? Why yes.
