Stuck intake valve!?!
Re: Stuck intake valve!?!
Oh, I forgot to mention that the sticking intake valve went away after some new plugs (NGK). This makes me happy! Also, no matter how hard I push her I can never seem to get above 40MPH, at least that is what the speedo says! I guess I will have to do some more investigating there too, since I am also a graduate of the drive it like you stole it school of driving.
Re: Stuck intake valve!?!
what happens at 40mph? Does the engine buck or cutout or just flatten out? Is this an FI car?
Re: Stuck intake valve!?!
The engine is still running strong at pretty much any speed. I think this is purely a speedo problem. At 40 MPH the speedo just stalls and flutters a bit. Actually the speedo fluctuates +/- 3mph anytime the car is moving but it still can't get above 40. The car is an 80 FI that has been converted to 40 IDFs.
