What up crew....
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. There are times when my car feels VERY strong. It pulls on every gear and feels very stronge all the way to the redline.
Then, later that day the car feels under powered and slugish.
Has anyone had this problem?
Here are some spec's:
1991 G20 5sp, 158K, ACT clutch 3 months old, PS Headers, exhuast 2.25 with 24" glasspack and Turbo II muffler, intake, 8mm Aerospeed wires.
Thanks Juan

Mine has had simular things happen to it so here are a FEW things to check out as i found they made a difference to how much of a loss i was experiencing.
I changed back to NGK Platnium spark plugs and OEM wires,
I had an exhaust leak,
Timing was overadvanced and i wasn't using correct octane rating,
I found that power loss was mainly due to tempreture so i changed to a CAI.
Changed my O2 sensor even though there was no Check engine light and it made a big difference,
these are just a few things i did, i also went through and gave it a thorough tune up, cleaned everything. I found the plug wires and mainly the plugs to be the most helpful. (checking gaps etc.)
I hope this may help in some way.

i think its mainly due to the air temperature. on cold days it feels like my B14 seems to pull better (its an auto too). hot days feel so sluggish. either that or its a placebo effect. :rolleyes:
