Whats up fellas, havin a problem. When I get my car to operating temp and go out "driving" Im getting hesitation when my secondarys open. Over all the car seems like it losing power but not missing the least bit, a lil flux at idle but not bad. Car has 88k on the clock and I'm the 2nd owner. Im gonna attempt a ghetto compression test today if time allows it. I just recently hooked my smog pump back up and noticed a bit of throttle response gone from that but that is expected. Clogged cat maybe if compression isnt all that bad? Also what should a 12a give me as far as compression numbers, its had a good life (huge list of paper work when I got, anywhere from oil changes to an alternator that went bad back in 92). Thanks ahead of time, this site has always been helpful to me.

My mistake, I saw him say "when secondaries open" and immediately thought of clogged injectors I've seen/heard about on others.

check the linkage on the secondarys, they have a tendency to come off

Any ideas on what my compression numbers should be? I know the secondaries are opening, I can feel the transition from 2 to all 4.

Well I figured out one thing, Im taking my car off the road and starting restoration on it, Looks like Im gonna start building an MS ecu and look into a turbo 13B. My car is fun but I want some real power.... Hurry up and move already Ito!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
