So the accelerator cable is opening the throttle fully? That was the problem with mine when I had a similar issue. Beyond that it could be anything - cat, timing...
If you ever have a free weekend, a cheap 3.08 or 3.23 diff would help.

i wanted to help you with your problem, sounds like your car is hammered, and you should probably get rid of it.
you say the car is very slow to take off, im assuming once it takes off, its "very fast" ? maybe your gearboz has had it. |
