Hi, I have a '94 touring, automatic. The car has good power when cold, but seems to have noticably less power when at operating temperature, even when at 70 mph on a cold Seattle day. no idle probs, no missing, just less power.



Is this considered normal? Can't remember this issue with my '93 FD...



Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve heard low compression motors will seem weaker when warmed up…(No experience with it though..) Is it hard to start when the engine is still really warm? ..Like if you were to turn it off, go take a piss and start it back up??

maybe check for air temp/coolant temp sensor codes?

stock mount intercooler? I noticed a HUGE power difference going from SMIC to FMIC....HUGE.

I would be concerned with driving the car hard when it is not fully warmed up..

low compression + stock intercooler + automatic = your symptoms
