I have a 98 with 185K...and have the same problem. My mechanic who has always shot me straight said that with high miles most likely it is the timing chain. That was at 142K... I have stopped trailing my boat to far (5000 lbs). Hope this helps.

How the car react when a Cylinder does not work?

The LS is prone to coil failure which leads to a misfire in the affected cylinder. A misfire due to a failing coil usually happens when the engine is warm and under load (low RPMs, accelerating or going uphill). The misfire may feel like a transmission problem because it causes the car to buck and stutter as though the gears were skipping or getting stuck briefly. The worse the misfire gets, the harder it will be to accellerate. Sometimes the misfire condition can be overcome by applying more RPMs or reducing the load on the engine. See my post about the valve cover leaking issues contributing to this issue.

What could cause a 1995 cavalier to run rough in drive while stopped but runs smooth in neutral and in park?

You probably have a misfire, but it doesn't show up if the engine isn't under load. When you put it in gear the load causes the misfire to show up and you can feel it. Run a computer diagnostic test and a compression test. You can borrow, rent or buy a computer diagnostic scanner for your vehicle at most auto parts retailers; often they'll even show you how to use it if they have the time.

Why does your 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis buck or misfire when under a load mostly when climbing a hill but taking it out of overdrive seems to reduce the problem?

You solved the problem yourself. DO NOT USE overdrive unless you are on an open road and driving over 55 miles an hour. If you do you could cause the transmission to start slipping and pay thousands to repair expectially if you are hualing a load.
