Hi all-
So I recently bought a 2.6 5 spd with 94k on ebay. She starts, idles, and she runs and there's NO check engine light and that bulb does work. However...
...when I step on the accelerator, under load, the car is super sluggish. This happens from 0-3200 RPM in 1st and 2nd gears. At higher RPMS and in higher gears it's fine. Sounds like major restriction but again, the car runs fine once it's moving faster
Now it is missing the air intake scoop (on order) but the cleaner unit is on. It's also missing one vacuum line from the back of a check valve between the thermo valve on head and the Mass airflow/intake under throttle the body. I'm pretty sure the missing line goes to the charcoal cannister and is part of the evaporative system. Seems like this wouldn't be it bc it's just vapor recycle but idk...
Car has new plugs + cap. I've checked the OPV. EHA looks fine (no visible leaks at least)
The only thing I've come up with is maybe a worn resistor strip in the MAS unit which I'm a tad hesitant to mess with. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
