no power
I was hoping someone could help me with my latest problem. Car:85 gsl-se. Problem: no power over 4000 rpm. My guess would be cloged fuel filter or cat.

after a while there can be a build up and they can stop working. not sure what actuates the se but on the s4 exhaust backpressure does. this shouldn't affect the upper rpm range however. screw your neighbors. its called a test. if they bitch then rev at them, lol. otherwise i don't know what to tell you.

Go to the passenger side of the engine, and manually push the actuators open and closed (the rear one might be hard to get to with the emmissions crap in place). They should move freely and smoothly with a spongy feel.
If they do move freely, Start the car, pop the hood and walk over to the pasenger side. Grab the trottle and give it some quick throttle to make the engine rev in the 6k range. The actuators should move a little, even without load.
If they don't, look in your Haynes or shop manual, read up on it, and start tearing it apart to clean them out.

Ok, I removed the entire exhaust, cleaned the fuel pump strainer, and the 5&6 port actuators seem to be working ok. Still no power. It actually runs worse without the exhaust.

I planned to put the exhaust back on but I broke most of the studs. Now if I ever get it running like it should I'll have to buy a new RB exhaust.

Oh on second thought , it might be the Tps sensor. Look at the haynes manual and see what it says to test the throttle position sensor..

Maxda manual sez "disconnect exhaust line to actuators, apply LOW air pressure (1.5~2psi) to actuator hose. Actuators should actuate and operate linkage. I really don't have a low pressure air source and I think 100psi might not be a good idea - boy howdy, that'd open them little suckers
One question for any SE types, though: What would happen if 5th & 6th ports were disconnected from the actuators and just wired open all the time? Anybody try it? Run too lean at low RPM? Just curious...

Although, to me it's a shame, a 6 port is known for it's nice flat torque curve.
Just remove them, clean them out, and clean out the tube that feeds the 6 ports (gets full of carbon). You might need to remove the intake to really clean everything (the sleeves) properly.
It might take a couple of hours, but it would be worth it.
