My car doesn't accelerate very well, although it has fairly good compression. I think it may be the injectors. Today, I was accelerating normally and got to about 3000, and just decided to floor it. I didn't let off then come on real quick, I just smoothly came on, and the power was amazing. It always does that, if you let it sit at an rpm, then floor it, it pulls hard. It actually got the rears squeaking a little (not a jolt-like squeak, just a pure-power squeal. So I was thinking that it could be that the injectors can't keep up if you go from the line and take it all the way up, but if you let them catch up, then floor it, they actually work.

I don't know, give me your ideas.

Could be bad ground too, you can try running bigger, better ground wires. RC engineering can clean and blueprint your injectors for you.

Its easier for your car to accelerate when your rolling already compared to starting from a dead stop (especially a heavier car with not much torque). That will make it seem faster.... I know what you mean. There is probably nothing wrong with your car.

except for the slowness.

This was an amazing difference though, it has never had that kind of power before. That car has never had the power to squeak the rear tires.

perhaps you should go over your car and make sure all the subsystems are working properly...



my na would spin the tires on demand in most situations, at least in in a low gear. There has to be something wrong, what about your aux ports, are they functioning properly?

Mine did that, but it was because one of my cats was busted on the inside. There were pieces blocking the exhaust. Most of the time it ran like ****, but every once in a while, it just flew. Just tossing out ideas here.
