Check if you got a vacume leak at the servo diaphram, that could produce
your symptoms.

Oops! Missed those last 5 stop signs.

Victoria to Nanimo on Vancouver Island you can't get much over 55 to 60 mph
with out visiting a guard rail, but that has to be the most beautiful
highway I've ever driven. Drove my Dakota from Montreal to Victora last
Chrismas, what a loooooooong drive

In Ontario on the HWY 401 and HWY 417 and Quebec on Autoroutes 20, 40, 15
the "legal" limit is 100 km/h (62.5 mph), but the rule of thumb read km/h as
mph #8^D !!!!
