A friend of mine just bought a pertty nice 90 35th anny 5speed. When he got it, it had a real problem of a serious bucking when you hit about 4psi of boost in any gear. We changed the fuel filter (just the start of a tuneup) and it fixed the bucking trouble, but then comes a mystery.
The boost gauge peaked aruond 13psi of boost but above 3psi, the car pulled worse than an N/A v6. What could be causing this?
We're going to be changing the plugs in the morning (yay!....no...not fun) along with the oil and air filter (which is almost solid black). We're also going to pull the IC out and clean it out real good with gasoline to make sure there's no oil inside it.
Any other tips of things that could be the cause of no power or other things to do in this general tune up? We may do wires after the plugs, funds providing, but could bad plugs/wires cause this total loss of power?
