hey guys, just wanted to know if anyone has this same issue. usually for the first 15 mins of driving the car kinda feel a little slugish but when accelerating and the car gets to 3 psi it feels like a sudden hit of power. like someone has had the handbrake on an d just released it... seems like maybe a cylinder is kicking in but it idles and runs fine so i dont think the cylinder is having any issues, just feels that way????

It will be going from closed loop operation where it'll be putting in extra fuel and playing with teh timing as the car is running in cold mode and then switching to open loop with load where maybe the computer isn't adding extra fuel and messing with the timing. maybe....

tottaly diffrent car, but when we first go our c200k, the car seemed to run ok, but whenever we got to a hill or somethin it was like tryin to pull 1000kg with 3hp.... so we got it checked out n the computer ended up havin 25 errors

got it back n the car ran muched better, but it still felt kinda powerless, after a few hrs the engine warning lamp came up agian, so we had to get it checked out agian n this time they keept it for more than a few hrs n had a good look n found more computer errors n a hole in the super charger piping, took 6 days to fix.

so u never know just get ur computer checked out.

Mine does the same when its cold and its fine when its warm. It feels the same as when I didn't set the tps up properly a while ago. I might try setting it up again and see what happens. At least it not only my car though.

Yeah, my car is 1987 and I describe it exactly the same way as you. As in it feels like the handbrake is on a bit and then it all of a sudden it breaks free.

Like you it only ever happens when the car is cold in which case I am putting around like miss daisy anyway so I have never been too fussed about it as I beleive a lot of guys on here have the same phenomonem.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
