I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 1991 2.3L LX AND I'M HAVING ACCELARATION PROBLEMS THE CAR HAS JUST HAD A NEW SET OF PLUGS, WIRES, O2 SENSOR, COIL PACKS, OIL CHANGE, AIR FILTER. IF I STEP ON THE GAS THE CAR IS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO GET SPEED BUT IF I ONLY PRESS HALF WAY DOWN ON THE PEDAL THE CAR WILL PICK UP SPEED AND TAKE OFF BUT IF I GET BACK ON IT IT DIES OUT AGAIN. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT THIS COULD BE.

 

Im assuming its trying to spool up that turbo.

 

The car is nothing special at all?
And what turbo mr redline?
So it's stalling when you give it full throttle?

 

I've had issues like that in a few vehicles, but the were all carburated so all I can do is guess.

You are probably better off waiting for someone elses advice, but I would check out your spark plugs and maybe fuel filter.


BY THE WAY, POSTING IN ALL CAPS IS ANNOYING AND HARD TO READ. YOU MIGHT GET MORE RESPONSES IF YOU TAKE CAPS LOCK OFF.

 

^ I thought the 2.3 Mustangs had turbochargers?? My friend's does...

 

Some do

 

yeah it stalls at full throttle

 

the svo's do and the gt turbos thats it, unless its a xr4ti or turbocoupe

 

or unless its a DUALPLUGTURBO!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111


you probably should buy a car with more power because usually 3000ish lb cars have trouble going fast with 100ish hp.
