hi im to these forums,

i recently bought an fc with an automatic transmission.

the car feels fine with up to around 20-30% throttle.

but afterwards pressing down more on the gas pedal does nearly nothing,

but if i completely slam on it down to the floor then it begins to accelerate a bit harder

but still not like it normally should.

dont know whats wrong was hopin someone else would have an idea



also forgot to mention the 5th and 6th ports arent working, but thats probably unrelated.

thanks

Actually, thats prolly most of your problem right there. As your RPM's increase and you go faster, your 5th and 6th ports open up to give the car more air to mix in with the fuel. Not having this would cause "lack of power". You should look into getting these fixed asap. Also your prolly going to be running rich.



Any thing else not properly working on the car?

i was thinking that, but then its not just loss of power.

its absolutely no power at all, it takes probably a good 5 seconds to gain 1k rpm.

but i will definitely look into fixing the actuators
