It sounds (pun intended) like there might be a problem with one of the transmission bearings. Does the rear wheel configuration feel tight? Mabye a bad bearing there?

George yu may be right with a vacume leak, and my be why the p-car is running so clean it could be running lean ? dos't run hot though,
