i have a gsr in my hatch and my problem is that it runs like it has turbo lag because i have to wait for the motor to have power at times i'm pretty sure that i have a clogged fuel filter or its something to do with fuel problems but i would just like to know if anyone would have any other ideas my timing is perfect i have a new ignition assembly, main relay, and my distributor is new ignitor,rotor,coil, ect...and i also have new spark plugs....any ideas thanks

 

edit:car bog's not running rich too ......bump

 

o2 sensor/cat?

 

cat is new ill try to change the o2.....anymore ideas

 

Well are you throwing any check lights?
Don't just start buying parts and replacing them if you don't need to.

 

nope no checklights no codes.....

 

car also a has hard starting bump

 

Timing.

 

timing is ok......could it be my spark plug wires or iacv......other symtoms: rpm drops real low after rev but when car warms up idles perfect.....

 

are you sure both cam and electrical timing are right? how did you check?

I doubt its your fuel filter, but if it hasn't been changed in a while, its not a bad idea. have you kept up with routine maintenance (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc..)?

whole distributor is new because friend had it lying around and let me use it and spark plugs are new but spark plug wires are kind of old and i heard those usually don't last two years so maybe i should change it and see what happens...

 

it couldn't hurt.

 

Have you looked at your FITV located under your throttle body? If not, do a search through the archives on how to adjust it once it has been in a while and you will be amazed at the difference it can make in your exact eratic idle situation.

 

crap my distributor cap was lose could this have been the problem?????
