So ive been having a problem with my 86 gxl. I thought my problem was the 3800 hesitation. But im thinking its something else. So here is the problem, when i go and drive the car it only goes up to right around 3000 rpm then gets louder and has a very hard time gaining more speed/ rpm. then when i let off it backfires. The problem is only under load. it free revs very nice. when the problem happens it feels to me like a fuel cut. At one point i took off the intake and checked both primary and secondary injectors. They were both priming the system. After all this i thought it could be my ports. so i ghetto wired them open just to see if that was the problem. it was not. Grounds are good. any help would be great.

When I pulled the motor from my S5 it was having the same problem...
|
do you have any idea what it is?
|
From the sounds of it, limp mode is your problem.
|
Im not sure the S4 has limp mode capabilities.
This is a tricky one. See if your cats arent glowing red hot first. I would then take some Vac readings, and also see if its steady. |
so check vacume? there is no cats. the exhaust is open right now after the manifold. so yes the ports would not be working.
|
Your ports arent working so youll run uber rich while the motor is expecting more air from the 5th/6th ports opening. If you can route exhaust to your 5th/6th port actuators youll be golden.

He said he wired them open so I discounted that as a possibility. But I agree, that's what it sounds like the problem is.
|
yeah, when i wired them open there was no change. the only thing it changed was it wanted to die out while it was idleing. but under load no difference
|
its one of two things.
1. the secondary injectors are not coming on or the throttle position sensor is bad |
