Could any one help me with my 1989 s2 turbo. It doesnt seem to pull as hard as i think it should in the higher gears.it feels like its holding back like a diesel with a blocked fuel filter if you know wat i mean.wen i ease off the throttle slighty it seems to help.a bit. Its been on rolling road and everything was ok but when the engine is pulling the car i can feel the problem. The enginge has been rebuilt.new fuel pump and filter.new plugs leads and distributor.

I had this and was spark plugs playing up. Also plug gaps I had to adjust on new plugs was also causing the same. Have you got a boost gauge fitted?

Ive had new plugs fitted.wat are the recomended plugs to use.its a cheap option to try.would ghe rolling road not of picked up on that? No i havent got boost gauge fitted. Its got a bailey dump valve. Ive read a few bad things about those. Ots got .31 actuator and a chipped ecu. Did yours pull better once plugs were set up right?
