Guess what? Not a hint of improvement. Exact same symptoms. Piss poor acceleration til I get to about 2000 rpm. So now my question. What would the next step be? Should I go for the injectors. jerk the ALDA off, firebomb the car, what? Just for the record, filters are all good, and I see no leaks in the fuel system. ANY info would be helpful.
Take a video, that would helps us alot.
