Hey once again fellas
Probably bugging because last week I been asking a lot of questions . I apologize but I’m a nob and trying to learn the most I can and don’t really have an other place to turn but to experienced people in this and other groups.
I have a 1998 gst(manual) I recently just fixed my starter. I had this car I have now almost two years ago and times got hard so I sold it to a friend and two weeks ago I recently purchased it back from him. He drove it down to me an hour drive the starter was bad so I changed it had to replace it twice Autozone gave me a bad new starter so I had to return it. But anyways my valve cover was leaking so I replaced the gasket and as I do with any new cars I buy I changed the spark plugs and changed the oil and filter. So I get the car together, idles fine, and starts fine. I put the car in first and it has a power surge and wants to just get up and go even if it doesn’t do it right when I take off it does it when I let off the throttle in first only. I can’t go past 3500-4000rpm the car hogs down really bad and hesitates and I can’t get it to go past 30 mph. Idk what to do. I threw the old spark plugs in thinking maybe the car didn’t like the iridium plugs I put in. The new plugs with a dry black at the tips like bad. Idk what to do, I ordered new wires just in case because these ones look old anyways and figured it might be the plugs. But idk what else to do please some help and input would be great
