However, it hsa recently developed a strange problem. It starts to backfire really badly after its been driven at highway speed for about 1/2 hour. Naturally, the mechanics say they can't duplicate it so they can't fix it, but one mechanic thought it might be a valve spring problem. Anyone in netland have a similar problem. Please don't tell me "Whadda ya want for a 12 year old car. I know, I know. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Art Steinman Path..houxu!ahs
