after i figured out the charging system issue, i road tested the car around the block. for some reason under load it jerks and boggs and has completely no power. idles fine and revs up fine. im in second gear, press the gas to accelerate about half throttle and it'll bog and jerk the boost gauge doesnt go past 0. i checked timing and its set to 10degrees. anyone ever have this problem?
I am currnetly experiancing the same or a similar problem, When the engine is cold and it get to about 2500RPM this happens to me. However if i let the engine warm up before driving its not a problem.
checked for boost leaks and found none. i pressurized the intercooler system and no dice. i did realize that the fuel was very low and its gas that was in there for over 6 months so i'm gonna try and put gas b4 anything else.
yeah try gas also if u dont know how good the plugs are replace them, thats cheap fuel filter could be clogged my car was like this when i set the timing back to stock 10 degrees, so i set it to 15 and it was fine.
Thanks for the Tip Mafix, I only tried to drive it cold once when i was running late. after i realised it was a cuz the engine was too cold, i let it warm up. guess i am just a Turbo n00b
i'm putting gas in it tonight and taking it for a test drive. its gotta be done at night due to plates are in storage and cops dont like cars w/o plates driving on the streets haha.
okay, new gas and all is well with the world....almost. still got the cooling fan always on problem now.
