https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Azt_TFJd92k I've posted a couple times before about how my car seems to be slower some days than others. Here's me doin 2nd-3rd gear and she felt slow as heck. Def no bottom end and not much top. What do yall think? Cars stock but 3.55s flows and orx
3.55s Stock other than or x and flows. Sometimes it runs a lot stronger just not often, and random. Maybe something with pcm? I'm getting bama tuner soon to see if that'll help. I have no codes with scanner
Speed is relatve.
If this were the late sixties, and you were racing a brand new big block powered "muscle car", you would be neck-and-neck. And you would be doing it with an engine that is around 150 cubic inches smaller!
Nowadays, the modern 4 and 6 cylinders put out more horsepower than the 10+ year old New Edges. Your car is going to feel, relatively, slow compared to a late model car. That's the way that it has always been. From when the first Model T rolled off the assembly line in 1908 until today, the cars keep getting better and more powerful with each successive year. The mid seventies and the eighties being the exception that proves the rule, due to new emissions requirements imposed upon the automakers during those years.
Your car actually sounded like it was running pretty good in that video. I suppose that the only true way to tell if it is making acceptable power is to put it on a dyno or make a few timed quarter mile passes and see where it is at.
Oh. Ok. I was just wondering because some people have noticed a loss of performance after installing a Dorman. That still wouldn't have explained the randomness that you described.
Guess I'll just see if a tune makes a difference. Is there any parts that might be worth trying to replace? I know everything sets a code on these cars that's why I'm confused. I've tried everything from fuel filter (tune up) to clean maf
What your describing could be just slightly clogged injectors. The Techron which you can get at any parts store or WALMART will get them as clean as new after you run a tank or two of gas through the engine. It is good because it does not mess anything up like some of the injector cleaners out there.
I would do this before doing a tuner. Ronnie
