Strange Pick Up

[xr6turbs]

Hey guys,

have slight problem with my 04 BA.

I don't know if it is me or not but I just feel its not picking up as well as it used to or I have just gotten used to the power had it 4+ years. no real engine mods just a pod and pipe in the standard position.

now the other thing I have issues with is that sometimes I will PLANT it.... and it just will start spluttering, I don't think its the sparks as I had them replaced maybe 1 year ago and Its coming from the exhaust spluttering....really confused at what it is if someone could shed some light that would be great.

it has 116,000kms... serviced every 10km, I did the boost solenoid maintenance on the weekend thinking that would help. but I am dumbfounded.

is it the Cat? sparks? coil packs? valve springs?

Please help! and thanks in advance for those that do :D

Probably your coil packs mate.

coils pack up under load ! check in the dark for arcing sparks !

Pull them out and see if they have any white spots along their length. White spots indicate voltage going to ground and not firing the plug (which is higher resistance).

Any spots= replace. Probably best to replace them as a set as they will probably be the same age/vintage.

my car used to do the exact same thing I thought it might have been the coil packs also but since I got the valve springs done it has never come back, I thought of it as an excuse to make my car fast
