Exclamation does anyone know why it does this???

My car acts real funny after i drop the clutch or loose traction the slightest bit with the rear wheels (no rice). I raced my friend and i launched at 3500 and dropped the clutch. it ran fine but then once i slowed down my car was incredibly slow and has surges of even lower power. and today i went around a corner and the tires barely squelled i wasn't going that fast and the same thing happened. this happens whenever i drive the car some what hard.

i have replaced the spark plugs. i got some new magnecore wires coming in the mail (i doubt this will fix it). If this doesn't work i will get the injectors cleaned.

has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

Could it be that your clutch is getting worn?

I think RC engineering cleans them for 12 bucks a pop or something. Don't go to the stealership. You'd have to send out your injectors and it would take a few days....unless you have some place locally that will clean injectors for ya....

don't worry...I'm in the same position that you are. My TII runs like ****. Needs a possible teardown and rebuild and it's my only car since the wife won't let me buy a daily driver...
