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.

seems like you have a vacuum leak

 

but suddenly it does this?

 

so anything besides vacuum leak?

 

car drives fine now.
wtf.

 

wow didnt realize how old this was, why is it on the front page?

 

not sure.
already started a new thread for it.
problem persists though.

 

take off the spark plug and crank the engine. listen to the compression to see if its even. Could be an broken apex seal.

 

try unplugging the BAC

 

wtf would unplugging the bac do?

 

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.
