Dis appointed?
3 oild metering pumps, and 1 ecu later it runs right! finally! my 91 n/a rx7 that ive been stressing over for over a month now is doing fine. it has an impressive take off but lacks something to be desired when it hits 80... it crawls from 80 to 100 very slowly and then i ran outta road. this cant be common, is it? it launches good, and pulls good thru 65ish then just kinds inches up. where should i start?
