I'm no expert on automatic transmissions, but it sounds to me like a problem with the vaccum modulator or pipe.
I got the Haynes manual but I never took a really good look through it. I'll have to do that. sounds like you could be right.

he says there could be a computer problem as well.
hmmm, if there was something wrong with the ECU wouldn't there be more messing up? It's accumulated a lot of mileage (previous owner lived in wisconsin, the I-Pass holder tape is still under the mirrir) so I assume it must be wear on something else. It's hard to say at this point.

In related news, I hate automatic transmissions
+1, I want to find a Getrag 5-spd manual for this car eventually. it's bloody fast as it is, I can cover 0-60 in about 9 seconds, that's not bad for an all-metal Olds. I want to get a manual in it so I can manage my mileage better. my first car was a stick shift and it's kind of an affair.
