January 25, 20179 yr What engines will fit on these loyales or what can I do to it to gain power it won't go over 55mph
January 25, 20179 yr 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.
January 25, 20179 yr Author 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
January 25, 20179 yr 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

January 25, 20179 yr 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?
January 25, 20179 yr 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.
January 25, 20179 yr Author How do I go about doing the vaccume test? Edited January 25, 20179 yr by Loyale7595
January 25, 20179 yr Author When i dont have the transmission in gear it will rev up no problem but when it's in gear it doesn't want to go and when I press in the gas pretty good it will down shift of it will even go??? Edited January 25, 20179 yr by Loyale7595
January 25, 20179 yr 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.
