power loss

mikeb89GT · 03-08-2002, 06:37 PM

Hey everyone. Just a quick couple of questions. First off when I start my car, for the first 10 or 15 seconds it surges from 800 rpm to about 1500, is this normal. After about 15 seconds it evens out.

Another thing is Ive had the car maybe 4 or 5 weeks. Seems to have lost power though? Does anyone here recomend an injector cleaner? It feels like torque loss. Maybe vaccum hose?

In my opinion no, it's usually the opposite, the car runs good/smooth upon start-up, then as it warms the rolling idle sets in.

Vacuum leaks are my bet, or bad 02's.
