Towing the van to Mansfield, went really well then after euroa it really didn't want to get to 90kph, the engine seemed to have the rpm but it didn't want to pick up speed even on slight declines.

Any ideas?

the road is going up hill that way is a slite incline that could slow you up

Have you had a chance to check your fluids yet ?,
check all hoses while you have the bonnet up
May not be Auto but a sensor on the motor maybe ?

Even a head wind will make a big difference

Yup fluids are ok water temp only ever got to 93c

First thought was the hand brake but I was in the good books with her then oh wait yeah checked that at the time and was good too:)

I'm thinking the tranny fluid got a tad hot and that with the hills got her cranky

Td what sensors could be involved?
