Well, since i got the car it felt a bit under powered, even at 9psi our SAAB 95 would pull on it.
Gas mileage has been horrible.. with a complete fill up the car got about 160 miles to the tank with city/highway driving.
This morning I decided to take the car to work since it's only 1 mile away.
I finally pull up and i feel a drop in pwer and barely pushing the gas pedal the car bucks and lunges forward slightly. When i gave it more gas it was smoother.
Now getting out of work i start the car, idles high fine (cold out). idle comes down to about 1500 rpms and i start to notice a weird miss through the exhaust. I take off and head down the street. drove it half a mile and i feel a loss in power (vaccum/boost gauge at "0" to get it going normally). I noticed I had to give it a little more gas then i am used to.
I get to my street and the car starts to lose power and slowly starts to buck and sputter, it happened to the point where i was going 10mph with the gas pedal to the metal!
when i downshifted I took notice that my lights inside came on... damn
I waited a few seconds and i turn the key...ok i hear the fuel pump good. When i cranked it it started but idled low, about 3-500rpms. when i gave it gas idle dropped lower and stalled.
I started it a few times and got the thing home.
Now this is whats on the car:
New tune up, Cap, rotor, plugs, fuel filter, pcv, (it has a K&N)
Timing belt was done 20k ago, they replaced everything associated.
Before this the timing was dead on.
I had checked the ECU when i was getting bad gas mileage and I only got codes for FPR temp sensor and CHTS (which was replaced during timing belt replacement)
wow, a CHTS cause this issue... it runs but not stay running.
