when i first bought the car 152,000 km the car was very smooth and had a real nice engine sound a very quiet low grunty noise.
now at 167,000 km the car does not seem as powerful and i really only notice the nice engine noise at night time the car also seems to drive alot smoother at night time.
the car generaly does not seem as responsive or as powerful as when i first bought it.
what is hte problem. |  |  | | 06-08-2004, 02:23 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 107 |
Perhaps the following:
Plugs-replace with NGK platinum.
Plug wires? Old? replace with above.
Dirty gas/injectors--try chevron fuel injector cleaner. | | | | | 06-09-2004, 02:00 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: bris Posts: 287 |

another thing that actually helped me is engine restore, it comes in a silver can and cleans and just helps to smooth out old engines again. I didnt think it would work when I bought it but I think it helped a little, that and run mobile one synthetic oil will help out the situation. another possible culprit could be a clogged cat converter. __________________ Mods: clear turn signals, Silverstar headlight bulbs, k&N custom CAI, removed A/C, lightened crank pulley, painted brakes, custom clutch stop, custom strut bar, x-brace, custom solid tranny mounts, Memphis sound system, Sachs sport clutch, B&M short shifter, lightened flywheel, redline MTL ....

It might also be that you are getting used to the car. My car always feels fast right after I do a mod, but then I get used to it. I don't realize how fast it is until I race another car or something. It just puts things back into perspective. | | | | |
