Slight power loss when accelerating

Recommended Posts

I have noticed some days my car has lost a bit of power when accelerating hard higher up the rev range-the only way to describe it is that its like theres something holding it back like exhaust being blocked. I dont think its that though because when i disconnect the batter for 10-15 mins then reconnect it the difference is unbelievable, it accelerates with greater ease. Any ideas where to start?

Is it pinking? Checked the plugs? Coilpack/dizzy? Compression test? Running a silly induction kit? Give us some hints ...

No silly induction kits. Its a Dizzyhad a look at that before and it seems fine also put new plugs on which didnt solve it either. Not sure about pinking when changing down on overun it occasionally pops but this is only every 2-3 weeks after a hard drive.
