3500 hesitation
 
I am considering buying an '88 GXL 2+2. The original owner told me there is a hesitation or hiccup as he said at 3500 rpm's. Is this a serious problem or what? I've read elsewhere there is a fix that usually works.
Is this a problem that should make me wary. The car only has 80k miles on it.

Thanks in advance!

That's when the secondary ports are supposed to open up around 3800 rpm. Where at in VA?

But to answer your question, most people just finangle them open for a quick fix. Look at the top of the screen and you shall find a search button. Do a search in this forum for 3800 rpm hesitation. Answers will follow.

LOCATION OF RX-7
 
It is in Arlington Va. He says it needs a tune up and possibly shocks. Tape player doesn't work, and sun roof needs a little help to pop up but after that it operates fine. I'm just worried about that hesitation but I'll read the posts you directed me to. BTW, he's asking $3900.00

IF its got high milage i wouldnt pay more than 2500 well maybe 3000 at most. But youll be happy with the car if you get it. Just make sure to get a compression check done. Most of those problems are easy fixes.

It has 80,000 miles on original engine. Not bad for a 13 yr old! Driven by his wife. She has a Boxster now!
