Down On Power

Recommended Posts

pugbliss

Hey all,

 

Over say the past weekor so the pug has seemingly started to lose power when you try to accelerate and sounds a bit rough too. so ive replaced the following...

 

cam belt and tesionor.

spark plugs.

leads.

roter arm.

oil plus filter

cleaned air filter (k&n)

 

the only other things i think it could be are

 

dizzy cap

coil

ignition module.

 

what do you all think????

 

cheers

joe

I was losing power and it turned out that one of the injectors was loose and pulling in air. Spray a bit of carb cleaner over them with the engine running. If the revs change, then there's your problem.

Check your ignition timing is correctly set up and is'nt retarded, although they don't usuaally reatrd themselves :). Give it a good check over for air leaks. I'd put it on a gas analyser aswell and have the mixture checked out. Are the injectors spraying freely etc? And as jack says, check the fuel filter out
