engine or fuel problem? video incl.
so i finally had time and money to show my 7 some love today.
put on new wheels, tires, had alternator tested, new battery, removed rear sway bar.
the car has been sitting since jan. with a dead battery.
changed the oil about a week ago.
so after doing all this work i let it warm up for a good while.
15-20min.
go for a drive around the neighborhood for a bout 10 min.
everything seems great.
get on the main street do a mild pull through first gear.
go into second and blah.
no power.
car idles, as odd as it always has before.
but when press on gas the rev just bounces.
i did put a fuel pump in around oct, i think it was.
but im pretty sure that pump was half junk anyways.
so is it fuel or did i **** up the engine?
btw no smoke from engine bay or exhaust.

it honestly sounds like limp mode, its not even firing properly.
take a can of ether and spray a little over each vacuum line, odds are you have a vacuum leak... it makes a difference.
