1. Mis-firing causing the entire vehicle to rock, seen mainly when the engine is in gear with the break engaged at a stop signal. 2. Sudden over-revving seen on the tachometer. 3. The over-revving usually precedes the engine temperature spiking into the critical area. This is most likely to happen on inclines. Pulling over, shutting down the engine allowing it to cool down for 10-15 minutes, then everything is fine.…
