re: reprise low poer missing hesitation

["timothy piwonka" <t.piwonka@worldnet.att.net>]

Dan,

what do you mean the timing has not been adjusted at all?

Have you checked the timing with a timing light, it makes a big diference.
For example my car was performing simillarly poor when I changed the timing
belt and the cam timing was one tooth off from the crank.

Did you change any thing, was it runinng well before?

Checked the injection/ o2 sensor?

Robert

even when in neutral.  The problem tends to lessen as the RPMs go up over
1800-2200.  Also, the engine is producing very low torque, so mucht at to
get evven somewhat of a quick start i have to rev upwards of 3500 rpm,
whereas in my golf, a quick start usually means about 2500 rpm.  But between
2000 and 5000 rpm, the rocco pulls hard, but hesitates when the rpms are
below 2000.  Im damn sure there isnt a vaccum leak, cuz when i stomp on the
throttle in neutral, i can see the intake hose coming from the airbox suck
in about 3/4 inch or more.  Any suggestions?  i have already siphoned the
old gas (from dec 99 hehehe)  and filled it up with super 90 and added the
proper proportion of injector cleaner.  With the 90 octane gas, believe it
or not, it pulled harder in the reange specified above, but still had low
power in the low power range specified above. The car has new plugs in it,
the wires are fine, and it !
