hey people....i was out today just takin it around the block and i laid a little rubber down pullin out into the street..and it seemed really fine....though before i did that it was actin a little weird....but it was fine when i pulled out and was goin down the street....so i came back around to a different street and when i changed gears there was no power at all but the car was still runnin...i would keepin pumpin it then it seemed like it caught up and it juiced back up ...i thought it was just somethin with the gears maybe i didnt shuv it all the way in....so i pulled onto a different street...when i went to pull out i dumped the clutch at around 4500 and it jerked and there was nuthing again ..i kept pumpin the peddle then it got juiced up again....could this be that the injectors are clogged or the pump is badd...nething...thanx for respondin https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

I'd check the fuel filter before I check the injectors, but that's just me. Anyone agree?

bart3lz 10-23-2003 03:28 PM

yea i deffinatly know its in the fuel system i think this is wat the guy was talkin about when he said the injectors might need to be replaced....it felt like NOTHING was gettin to the engine bout it was still running like it was in nuetral...thanx baldy buut how would i check it ...is there a way to test it or just look at it for the problem

Does it feel like the throttle cable is made of rubber, you put the pedal down and get no response? Then, suddenly, it's like someone turned on a switch and the car has full power?

I have the same problem.

Does it get better when the car warms up? Or when you get up above say 4000rpms? Does it die when you try to start it (won't idle)?



I haven't had a chance to tear into mine, but I had it barely idling for like 20 minutes, pulled the plugs and the front rotor had no gas smell on the plug, the rear one did. I think the front primary injrector is dead (either injector, or wiring). My secondary appears to kick in at 4k+ rpm, then the car has somewhat normal power.

yea i can feel the secondaries kickin like its fricken on a small horse shot of nitrous..lol....it doenst feel like its rubber it feels like normal like when i would rev it or somethin..feels free...its just like it was off then it turns back on but its on the whole time....scared the crap out of me....

the car was already warmed up....i even thought it ran out of gas but i knew it couldnt have....its about a quarter full....it idles fine though...it actually idles smoother other than it shutting down like that....

bart3lz 10-23-2003 05:08 PM

i think that the primary injectors might be bad cuz it feels sluggish before the secondaries kick in......but when i slow down after the secondaries kick in it kinda rides smoother....in second gear it rides real nice.....when i get in the higher rpms i feel so much power and i hear even my crappy exhaust roar to life https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png ....thanx pazuzu

and if i need new injectors is there a certain size for primary and secondary....about oem size..maybe a LITTLE bit bigger...
