Umm yea push with another vehicle, defintitly not with manpower, way too hilly.

Friend of mine has a few trucks, two with 6 wheels and one with 10, but he doesnt own his own trailer yet, but can barrow, or tow strap it is.

 

Good luck! Be careful!

 

Using tow straps is worse if the person behind you or the one driving doesn't know how to. it takes a good driver not to yank n jerk on the cars, which can cause damage.

I prefer pushing if its not over 10+ miles. That way all they gotta do is easy into the bumper, push ya up to speed and then back off. And they don't have to get near you again, till your stopped.

If ya do use tow straps. Its best the have the car being pulled as the brake. use it to stop both cars, the front car doesn't use its brake. Cause the car pulling stops to quick for the one being pulled, then slack get in the tow rope/ chain and when ya take off its a jerking contest.

Its only 3 miles. Just push it.

Also cops don't get upset over pushing. When ya tow there are rules on what is used.

Hey guys, I've been reading posts for a while but I think this is a good time to post. I have a 90' Firebird 3.1 V6 with only 68K, and my car just started this problem today. Just as MaxxMitchell said, it shakes like a banshee on takeoff but smooths out after it gets up to speed.It does miss a bit at idle though. I just warmed it up becuase I havnt driven it in a while and took it for a drive. On the way back it started to do this. Bad Gas?, Filter?, Fuel pump? I have been thinking that its probably the fuel filter or mabey the pump. However, after reading this thread I'm now worryed about it. I am going to replace the filter tommorow. I was surprised to see that MaxxMitchell did'nt mention that he replaced the fuel filter after he said that he thought that was a posibility. This is why I do my own work, 6 trips to the mechanic and it only ends up worse in the long run. Anyway, so I will let yall know about how it works out for me. I will check the plug wires but I would thing that I would see a miss at cruise speed, and not just take off. wouldnt an ignition problem show up at all RPMs? I'll just hope its an easy fix and not an adventure like MaxxMitchell had. BTW thanks for all the great info, great site. I'll have to post a photo of my firebird.
