I bought a 1995 Talon TSi 3 days ago and something funny happened on the drive home.. I test drove the car about 2 weeks ago and everything was fine. When I bought it, it drove fine for about 30 minutes and then when I was trying to accelerate in 5th gear, the car would not accelerate. It then slowed down to about 20 mph (was going maybe 75).
We pulled over and look under the hood and nothing was smoking but the car temp was nearly 3/4 the way up. It started fine but idles a low with almost like a mild thudding. When I tried to pull back onto the road it lagged with acceleration and would cut down and slow down after reaching 3000 rpms. When I applied maybe 1/6 throttle or less it accelerates a little but when it reaches near 3000 rpm it stops accelerating and slows down to 1000 rpms or even shuts off. I can maybe can reach 60 mph if accelerate slowly. The BOV now does not work ever since this started.
I have had a few friends who own DSMs check out the intercooler hosing to make sure there isnt a crack or leak. They said it looked fine..
Basically, the car lags or cuts out with acceleration and the BOV does not work. HELP ME IM NEW TO DSMs!
