cope

Hi Henny.. thats exactly what my car is doing. Im not sure where you are trying to tell me where it is. Is the windscreen under the hood somewheres or in the actual dash? Well the throttle body was replaced... how do i know if its already damaged? I know there is some stuff right under the hood just below the wipers when the hood is open.... i have yet to really look around there.

To answer one question, it is back firing quite a bit actually in 1 pop spurts. I just though my exhaust system was like that. Hmmm soo gullable i am. As for knowing anything about a Corrado, i must say i dont know much. I have learned alot in the last day but i am at the point of information overload hehe. The guy i bought it from appeared to know a little bit but not much, but that could have been easily disguised. Either way he is paying me 1/3 of the cost for my current repairs so he isnt that bad of a guy. hehe. As for timing, it is "supposed to be ok" as per the machanic but for all i know its not. I only wish i new how to check that stuff rather than taking someones word for it. Spark plugs and cables are recent and i think they are Bosch, and look pretty new. As for the "dizzi cap" i am not sure. The guy said he just did it soooooo....... maybe he didnt hehe Belts and hoses have been also replaced, and look like they are in good shape. Supercharger, that is undetermined as the guy i bought it from doesnt know either. It has 173,000 KMs on the engine itself. Has it been recently serviced.... well depending upon what that entails, i did the oil and bosch filter on it, pully bearings where howling so i had the two of them replaced. "right....have you replaced ht leads, cap, dizzy, plugs (are you using correct plugs), air filter. checked for boost leaks, fuel filter, fuel pump? " I have not personally replaced any of these yet. Dont know how to check for boost leaks. What plugs does this car need? What would be the next thing for me to do or look at as i am not sure what direction to go in. Thx guys, i really really appreciate the info (:

Hi there, I am new to this forum, and recently bought a 1990 G60. I will try to explain my problem as best as i can so please bear with me if i dont know the terminology. When i press on the gas, pretty hard to go fast the car basically has no power when i floor it in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. The car hesitates and just doesnt want to go. The exhaust sounds funny when the car bogs down when accellerating. As long as i dont press too too hard on the gas, it seems to run fine, but as soon as i give it alot of gas, it just hangs ans sputters and then kicks in, but by that time, the RPM is pretty high. The things that i have had replaced so far consists of this from the volks shop i go to ( not a dealer ) Replaced the throttle switch and body, as apparantly they couldnt get a reading from it when the switch was pressed. I am assuming it was a volt meter of some sort? (new one now gets a reading) From what i was told, if the throttle switch is not working then the car doesnt know what amount of fuel and oxygen to mix??? Replaced the Oxygen sensor as the reading was that it was always running rich? Replaced it and still have the same problem. Does anything need to be reset when a new O2 sensor is put in??? Timing is supposed to be ok. Now i am being told that the Catalytic convertor may be damaged due to the throttle switch and O2 sensor running to rich??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It is costing me a fortune in parts and labor after having the car for not even 1 day. Thx everyone!!!
