problems

You should give your car a really, really, good tune-up. Since the car does have alot of miles on it, maybe you should think about working on your engine internals first before you start adding alot of bolt on's.

New cams, camshafts, valves, valve springs, retainers..........

This would restore and defintially add power.


Hope that helps out.


GSR!!!!!!!

hmmm....that means oil or coolant is gettin into the piston chamber...and when you start moving off from lower rpm levels up...the engine then burns it out (loosing power)..and then the car gets power when every thing is burnt out....

and/or

the spark plugs are not working....check the distributor...

i had both problems..and i fixed the oil leek...and then it was still happening....so i changed the plug wires...and it stopped...

--you might not have a way to go around taking it to a machanic and spending money....

good luck

check your Distributer cap and Rotor
about 20 bucks.

always start with the easiest things first.

take your car to get a compression test or do it yourself go to www.c-speedracing.com for instructions in the how-to section.
cost about 30 bucks

if your compression is bad then either your headgasket is shot(oil in coolant or coolant in the oil),piston rings or bad(have to do a leakdown test for this), or your head is cracked(they have a dye that they run through the head), piston has a hole in it, or your vavles are sticking.

good luck, keep us posted
