Tried everything i could find.
I have an 87 that i have been working on. It runs and idles great but it has no ***** around 3500. I can drive it as long as i run it up to 7000 when i want to go but i don't like doing that everyday. I have tested all my sensors, adjusted my tps and my 5th and 6th port seems to be working, at least the actuators move when i push on them. I checked all my grounds. I just don't know. Can anyone help me. I am almost done with this car.

Also, if you had checked out the FAQ in the 2nd Gen section you would have already known this
But seriously, read it all if you haven't already, you'll know quite a lot when you're done.

usually there is a compression tester that tests all three faces of the rotor....(heard those r expensive) but u can always use a regular Compression tester just make sure u dont see numbers that are far apart from each other..like 115ps...then it drops to 70 then back to 113psi...

So I did a compression test and was able to breathe again. I got 105-110 on all 3 faces and both rotors. I checked my 5th and 6th ports again and I am almost positive they aren't working. But I also hooked my tach back up and realized I am idling up around 1000 rpm instead of 750. I tried to drop the idle and it just wont run down there. And I also figured out my EGR isn't working. I hooked vacuum up to it and it did nothing. Is there a way to fix this without replacing it? And could this be part of my power problem and idle problem? I have had two of these cars and swore I wouldn't get another but I couldn't turn down the deal I got on this car. He said if I tow it away its mine. LOL.
