49143, Loss Of Power !help!
Posted by TalonBoy3, Apr-16-03 07:49 AM
I just tested a 98 Eagle talon esi yesterday and it ran so much faster then my 95 eagle talon esi. I just got new spark plug wires ngk spark plugs and k&n filter. when i push on the gas i can drop my foot to the for but it feels very soft and no power.. i gotta play around with it to make it go. It will go at times, when its cold. does any one know how to fix this? the 98 talon had more of a stiff gas peddle and felt more quick. I have 144k on my talon. hope i get this fixed. thanks

i'd like to know too. 159k miles. guess it's just age and wear and tear.

have you adjusted the throttle plate yet? it should be the first mod everyone does. after a while the cable has probably streched out, causing you to not reach WOT a tall, and increasing the amount of pressure you need to put on the pedal to achieve the same acceleration.
