Title: Lack of grunt...
Post by: damon80 on 21 December 2008, 00:42:57
Hi again folks...

Not sure if this is related if my other posts, but...

My Miggy seems quite a bit down on grunt.

As I've said before - the 2nd from the left outlet on the breather box has broke off, but am going to fit a new un tomorrow.

Is this likely to fix things?  :-? Or is it going to be a multi-ram problem?

I can "tickle" the accellerator, and she picks up ok, but if I plant it - well, there is nowhere near as much grunt as there was from my last 3.2 Manual Miggy  :(

Anyone any suggestions?  :-?

Cheers  :y

Cheers bud - no doubt Andy B will show me the way - if he don't mind...

It really is wierd - on half-throttle, can feel the torque of the motor.  But on full throttle - well, there's sweet f.a. difference...  :-[

I have a 96 3.0 Elite and it sounds like I have the same problem, I bought an 02 2.6 CDX and it's way faster than the old Elite, to be honest I've never found it that fast, all my vac pipes are in the right place and I can see the multi rams working, although the one at the back opens but shuts strait away, unlike the front one which opens at about 3000rpm and stays open
