Re: feels like someone's pulling at my rear bumper!

Yes yes and yes... I think we have a winner!

I have never replaced the Oxy sensor since I've owned te car, but I have

High-end is lacking, as you mentioned.

but the fuel filter has been replaced already.

Thanks, I'll check this out.  Hopefully this will be a solution.
