Re: poor acceleration
Update. There is an exhaust leak and up until now I didn't pay much attention to it. Tonight I got a better look at it because when you first start the car the leak is bad (loud). Then as it warms up it gets quieter and pretty much goes away. And ironically the thing starts running better the quieter it gets. The leak is in the area of the ox sensor and the inlet tube for the EGR. At the drivers side rear of the engine. It may be in the coupling that joins the front to the rear exhaust manifolds. But I cannot get to the bolts because the things are surrounded with shields. And it looks like it would be a big pain to get the long shield off that covers that area of the manifolds. So my question is, would the exhaust leak and the poor performance during warm up be related? During the last ride I took I swear I could hear the thing suddenly get quieter just as the engine started running smooth. Again, any help is appreciated.
