ok finally changed the coil and module

It woke the car up a bit but it still feels like over 3200 it just hits a flat spot and barely pulls. Acts like a clogged air filter or fuel filter (or like ignition is retarding). EVERYTHING is new...

Re: A/C prob...Part II (69mako)

Re: (scorp508)

Re: What to get for headlight gears, and best price? (Bill's86Coupe)
