Bam Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 its a 90 laser rs turbo, 5spd. Runs good under WOT, but in the 2-3.5k range and after a shift under medium throttle, it hesitates/won't accelerate correctly. If you try and floor it while its doing it, it takes a second to pick up like its floored, then the turbo spools and its fine... its almost like horrible lag, but its not because if your on the hwy at 60mph or whatever, it seems to lurch/hesitate sometimes then too... any ideas?

Bam Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 converter clogged! Hmm, its possible I guess, the car is stock, maybe I'll unbolt the exhaust and see if that helps. Does it make a difference if it runs better without the mafs plugged in? What could that mean? I have a reciept showing a new mafs within the last 8k miles, so i doubt its bad, but I dunno...

Guest Removed Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 if you unplug the maf and it runs better thats the problem.. normally the cheap remaned mafs fail shortly after ! more then likely thats the issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 ok, guess i'll look for a new one, i'm guessing it'll run rough without a mafs plugged in because the systems looking for one, right, lol. i know it sounds stupid, but Im just stumped that it runs BETTER without it plugged in. thanks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
