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.
