I just did the atf trick this weekend, car seemed to have more power, and accelerated smoother, my vacuum reading was still low (14-12 psi) so i decided to run some water through...did that and still low compression, so I pulled my plugs to look at them(put in brand new plugs after atf trick, and sqirted some more atf into t2 and L2 plug holes, and also ran some atf through the vacuum hose(same hose used for h2o treatment).
Before I did all this I was going to remove my a/c, so i just cut the belt off, then realized I couldn't get a bolt off to remove the a/c so i left it there, but now i don't have a belt...

After the atf trick, the car was barely idling, and my vacuum was coming up at 11-10, it would idle up over 1100, then drop down to 600, and almost die, then shoot back up for a few seconds..and drop back down. Anyone know whats goin on? I'm gonna buy another belt tomorrow, and see what happens, anyone know what size it is?

Oh ya, and performance wise, the car seems to have no power anymore, It takes a while to get it accelerating in first, hit 2nd gear and the car sounds like its working hard, but it's just not fast anymore...still boosting ok too, but it feels like the clutch slips all the way or something, but i know it's not the clutch.

Sounds like my n/a when I fried the clutch. But n/a's are way different than TIIs when it comes to demeanor....

ya but the thing is that the car was running good earlier today, and I was just messin around wanting to remove the a/c altogether, and while i was at it i decided to squirt some atf in, and now after i burned out all the atf, the car is lagging and seems to have no power.

and the vacuum has dropped significantly, and also the car isn't idling right anymore....could this be a vacuum leak? maybe i knocked off a hose or something, i'll go check

I have heard that ATF, in some cases, can break up carbon and crud that is keeping a good seal on stuff. After I did the ATF, my car now floods like crazy if she sits for more than 3 days. Might have broken up somethin that was actually helping you. Did you try to adjust your TPS yet?

nikedope

i had my mechanic adjust the tps for me a week ago, i doubt i could have messed that up

Hmmm. Well ****, I have no idea!
