OREchipmunk78 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I have a '87 GL fwd wagon with the Ea82 spfi and I was wondering what would cause it to run real smooth but be very sluggish between 10 and 25 mph? I mean you can put your foot to the floor but she feels like your not giving it anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Many Reasons could affect the Behaviour of the Engine, when Runnin' on Low RPM's, beside the Vehicle's Weight / HorsePower Ratio, Load, Kind of Road; I can Think on these "Easy Check & Fix" Ideas that Might Help: Bad Timing. Failing Advance at the Distribuitor. Clogged Cat and / or Muffler. Worn SparkPlugs. Low Octane Gasoline. I Kindly Suggest to do a "Tune Up" Changin' Sparkplugs if they're Old and Check your Subie's Engine Actual Timing Degrees, it Should be Around 20º Kind Regards.
