Problem: Car has little power at low RPM, but as the RPMs climb the
power is fine. Its almost like one should rev the engine before
letting out on the clutch in order to get the car to take off from a
stand still. Any ideas what could be the problem?
Background: I've been helping a friend get his 89 Mustang four-
clyinder car running again so that he can save money due to higher gas
prices and a recent move to the country and much longer drive into
work. This low-RPM problem remains from when he first gave up on the
car (and let it sit for a few years because one day it wouldn't
start). We've done the standard tune up (plugs, dist. cap and rotor,
timming, etc.) and done OK with getting it to start fine. No engine
codes have registered (all clear except for code 67...neutral circuit -
when actually the car is in gear). Now I'm at a loss for the problem
of no power at low RPM. What factors should I consider and look
into?
Thanks,
