Got the capri up and running for the summer (BUT)
« on: April 15, 2011, 05:29:00 PM »

The capri was smoking really bad so I put it away. Today I said to hell with it and put in half a bottle of lucus stop leak into her. After driving a good 20 mins and it smoking it slowly went away.

Now my problem is that when I'm at a steady rpm it hesitates.

It also seems like its running out of gas and losing power. My boost drops to 0 on occasion. It mostly does it up hill. I'll loose all power and it will start to feel like its outta gas. Even with a full tank. Any ideas guys?


I'm getting new brakes and rotors tomorrow at work. And possibly wheel bearings because they sounds shot in the front.

On a side note. Could it be hesitating from bad plugs? I have cheap copper ones in because I couldn't get the bosch at the time. I'll get the platinum tomorrow and possibly wires if it might fix it?
