Sup fellow tuners. I have a problem with my car that would really appriciate some help or advise. Recently my car feels like it has no power. I go WOT and the car feels sluggish and like theres no power. For the mods that i have i would believe that i would be alot faster than that. The car runs normal but when under full boost or WOT it bogs. A buddy of mine with a Grand National told me it could be my coil pack thats gone bad and is not providing sufficent spark. Another fellow told my it could be my Spark plugs that are making me run like this because i have stock plugs and he told me to run colder plugs. Allright fellows any imput would really be taking into consideration. I live in socal in Anaheim to be specific so if any socal guys would like to help let me know. Thanks and laters! :thumb:
 
check your vacume lines and if thats not the case then your spark plugs may be fouled. if all else maybe a boooooooooooooost leak.
 
Check your spark plugs
NGK BPR6ES gapped at .028"
Check your plug wires for resistance
Check your coil pack for resistance
Check your air filter and check your fuel filter.
Also check for boost leaks.
 
Well guys sorry i havent got a chance to respond but was out of town for Thanksgiving. Last week right after i posted the thread i headed of to the Dsm Gurus at Road Race Engineering and talk to one of the guys there(yak) i believe was his name and he helped me solve my problem he told me to check my plugs and wires first. So he pulled my spark plug wires one by one and it turns out my wires were done and my plugs were gapped wrong so i bought some colder plugs and some new Ngk wires and my ride runs like a champ. Thanks anyways guys i know i can always count on u guys and my Buddys at RRE. Laters! :thumb:
