56932, problem with engine, help please?
Posted by stoyboycs, Aug-10-03 09:25 AM
Alright when I accelerate at about 1/2 throttle it accelerates fine untill about 3200rpms then theres like no power and barely accelerates untill 3500rpms then it accels. normally. But when at full throttle it's fine. It does that through 1st and 2nd then when in higher gears when I hit the gas pedal it feels like an automatic transmission shifting on a higher milage car, the only thing is that mines manual. It's that sort of jerk type feeling then when I let of the gas it does that jerk again, this last part happens when i am 1/2 throttle to full. So does anyone know whats wrong? thanks in advance for any help.

Chris

could be as simple as bad spark plugs,etc.. Ive had a cracked insulator on a spark plug cause similar problems, are you getting a CEL, could be many other things to but start simple..

Yeah I have a cel but I had that because of my turbo kit which caused a bad o2 sensor. Then I sold the turbo kit and this problem started 2 days after. So I'll try the plugs and see what happens. If there are any other ideas let me know.

Thanks,
Chris
