ok well i just picked up a 91 talon es nt. Had some battery issues got it resolved cross fingers :pray: .But my issue i am having it seems to sputter lack power hesitant the whole nine yards. Only seems to do it in between 3-4 gear sometimes in 1st when i leave .It seems if i try and go over half throttle it starts it i am kinda confuse could it be i got bad gas/or wrong octane i use unleaded 89?. I really need some help on this as i picked this up as my dd want to be able to put some good maintenance into my tsi so i have the NT for getting around. Maybe it needs new plugs and wire the plugs look nasty i cleaned them also sea foamed the car and did it smoke ever the wires look to be for a turbo model though. Do the nt and turbo share the same wires the are thick yellow one> any help would be nice thanks:hmm:
 
I had this very same problem.
Check your grounds and your terminals first!
Then second check vacuum leaks or gaskets.
 
I would check for vacuum leaks the plug wires just sound like accel wires to me
 
..and you can use 85 being an NT ... don't use any higher octane fuels-wasting your money.

And blow out that SeaFoam crap and change the oil. Thing prob needs a good simple tune-up.

Use NGK BPR6ES-11's gapped at .044 in that NT motor. If you gapped them at the turbo settings of .028, that's why you're sputtering due to the spark is being snuffed out.
 
ya i belive i do have vac leaks it idle surges till at opt temp. Just like my 91 laser and it was cracked up injectors o rings etc. I am running 89 octane seafoamed it and change the plugs and havent had misfiring cutting out sputtering .. yet:shhh: . Any thoughts on the idle surging quite annoying since its loud LOL. As to running plugs they are ngks to my understanding they were gapped already for it . But we all no how good computers are i have got a few wrong parts for that sort of thing.
