could be a maltitude of things causing your issue…

first i would give a simple visual inspection, look under the hood, start the engine up and check for vacuum leaks see if there is anything out of place

if not check the condition of your spark plugs and if possible run a spark test on each cylinder…

if not that, then check fuel system pressure…

if not that run a system compression test.

i cannot tell you out right what your issue may be as there is a multitude of things that can cause a missfire. good luck 🙂

i love forced induction and try to learn as much from it as i can weither it be a Blower or a turbo, i think if Eric could get something too work on like a Regal GS, or a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP he could do a video on how to maintain the superchargers on them.

there are also plenty of turbo cars out there too… it would be a interesting video indeed!

when you installed the new power steering pump did you fill the fluid level? did you bleed air out of the system? check your fluid level, if the power steering fluid level is low then try this.

jack the front end of the vehicle off the ground, remove the cap of the power steering system and turn the wheel lock too lock with the engine on and try and see if any air is bled out of the system, if the power steering fluid level drops below spec during this time top off the fluid.

also check for leaks around fittings, lines, the power steering gear or rack ect.

here is my opinion and i will give it too you straight and i don’t care what people say.

I use it! and here is how i think it works and i know it works beacuse i have seen positive results on my own cars! Lucas is in composition similar too a surup very thick very very clingy, buy itself, does it belong in a engine, most certainly not! but when used as directed in the correct engine with the correct oils, it works great. you see when used in the correct ratio it allows the oil too cling too the parts very well, and makes the oil even slicker, i mean run your engine too operational temperature, with regular motor oil i find at warm temperatures the oil is very runny and sometimes when i rub my fingers together my fingers eventually feel very grippy… with lucas it still flows very well, but it doesn’t get so runny when warm, and is nice and slippery between my fingers, has a nice film… its great for older engines with 5W-30 10W-30 oils or what not, the 3800 V6 in my car loves it!

when i use it in my engines i notice a difference in how smoothly the engine runs, and a slight difference in power too over conventional oils… i have used it also in the 3100 SFI in my Century and it liked it too!

commonly people start using it thinking it will be a miracle cure too engines burning oil badly, or they think it will allow them to go all sorts of extra miles on a oil change, i doubt that, then people don’t use it as directed, add too much and they have issues… as for engines like some of the new honda engines with the 0-W20 weight oils, i would not add Lucas too that beacuse i feel its much too thick

additionally the transmission stuff is great, smooths out shifts in old transmissions that are a little rough simply beacuse the trans is old and gunky inside, but once your trans is starting too puke its done and over, it usually will not fix the issue.

looks like this is the place for that!
