I've been having problems with this for awhile...first it was bad plug wires, so i changed those along with a new cap and rotor, everything was fine untill about a week ago. Now the car is bogging down at low rpms, usually when starting from a complete stop. I have to rev the engine a bit to get it moving normally. It only happens from idle to about 25-3000 rpm. From 3000 up the car is nice and smooth. Any suggestions??? Next on my to do list is new plugs.
thanks |

Please clarify bogging?
If the engine itself bogs (stumbles, doesn't want to rev) then check plugs and for vac leaks If the engine revs fine, but the car doesn't move or barely moves until 3k rpms, chances are your clutch may be going - though clutch usually doesn't slip until you try to give it gas (ie if babied it will be slower going but still holds) -------------------- '92 ST185, '88 ST165, '05 Galant LS, '08 Legacy
