Divisible_By_0 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If there is something wrong with your engine that is not fixable Most people will probably say an EJ22 swap and you can keep your current trans if wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale7595 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm not really sure it was a one owner it only has 100,000 miles in the last 10 years they had it they only out 2,000 miles on it then it sat for about 4 years I bout it from a dealership not running got it going on about 2 hours changed the fuel fuel filter plugs wires oil alternator and since I got it to run it still won't go over 55mph and not sure what I can or need to do to get it to go faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman1991 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 it should go a lot faster then that... my 93 has no problem getting up 75 mpr freeway speeds and its over 200k you have to get those rpms up with the EA82s though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpop Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Nope, single port fuel injected I believe. I used to have a '90 that would come close to 90mph on a good day. What RPM is she showing at 55? Manual or automatic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Something is wrong with it. Mine go 65mph at 4000rpm with a 3 speed auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Run a simple vacuum test. That can tell you a lot about the health of the engine. Depending on the results other tests can follow to help find the cause of your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale7595 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) How do I go about doing the vaccume test? Edited January 25, 2017 by Loyale7595 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveT Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Any decent auto parts store will have a vacuum gauge for testing intake manifold vacuum. It should come with instructions. You may want a T fitting also. No load revving is completely different than getting power with a load. Could be starving for fuel, partially blocked exhaust among other things. Almost all of my experience with these EA82 engines is with the 3AT automatic transmission. They don't really start feeling peppy until they get over 3000rpm, closer to 4000. Yes, if you floor the gas pedal with a 3AT, it triggers a switch that energizes a solenoid on the transmission to downshift 1 gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
