Hey guys, I just bought another 16v a few weeks ago and I ran into a new =
problem... The car had plenty of power, and ran fine until one day it =
decided it didn't need so much power. I'm talking my 0-60 went from =
about 8.x seconds to 11.x and 1/4 mile times went from about 15.8 to =
high 17s. It still runs fine (no missing, idle is ok) but it just has =
no pull to it. I think it might have happened on a day when I =
accidentally unplugged the airflow sensor which controls the cold start =
fuel enrichment - but plugging it back in didn't help any. Any ideas as =
to what could cause this? It almost feels like the timing is being =
retarded by the knock sensor, but I'm running 94 octane good gas. =
Thanks.
