Sluggish revvs? Like a slug unitl turbo really spools up...
 
86 951 with 98,000 miles....

My car seems to accelerate like a slug especially in 1st off the line. It is worse when cold. You can try to rev her up in -N- and it is just a second behind...throttle position switch, tune up, ??? When I am around 3,000 rpm or more she pulls great...go figure? Boost enhancer??

Thanks Brock

wait wait, what you mean rev her up in N??is it an auto?did they even make 951s in auto?

Booster 08-08-2001 09:01 PM

Sticks have a netural too! and no they didn't make a auto for the turbo.

Mine was sluggish too. I had some slack in the thottle cable. You can also replace the cable cam I hear, and a boost enhacer should help get the boost up in the lower rpm range.
I will be installing a BE here in a few days, Ill let you know whassup.


NOTE: Ever notice how cool that fender flare looks in your sideview mirror at night?
(ok, maybe i ate too much acid in college)

Wow, you guys have a neutral position on your 5-speeds?!? Mine doesn't. It's always in gear. I have to stop and start the engine every time I need to stop. In fact, lately I have just been going from light to light with the starter. It is much easy than worrying about shifting. http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/wink.gif (Sorry Andre, I had to)

Sergio: It's not the acid. The fenders do look cool in the sideviews.

I discovered one of the coolest angles to look at while you are driving...stick your head out of the window and look straight ahead between the mirror and the a pillar, and stare at the front left fender. Pretty http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/biggrin.gif. Maybe it was too much of the acid and mushrooms in highschool...I don't know...

Thanks Ribs.....

I tried that and hit my head on the wall backing out of the garage!

Dave951 08-08-2001 10:24 PM

Doh!!!

Sergio 08-08-2001 10:26 PM

not really.

BTW how did you discover this? or should i not ask.

Dave951 08-08-2001 10:29 PM

Ribs actually drove like this for a week. His washer nozzles for the windshield were clogged and his windshield was too grimy to see out of.
