Power loss
« on: 29 August 2003, 12:15 »
Hello all

I'm new to the forum and I'm jumping straight in with a problem I hope someone can help me with.

I own a 1988 8v GTi (PB, Digifant). However after some engine damage I replaced the Head and Block with a 1985 8v engine (K-jetronic?). It did run really well, quicker than the orginal. But now it sounds fine, no obvious mis fire, but it has a serious lack of get up and go.

I have cleaned and replaced all the filters, spark plugs checked and it has brand new injectors.

Any help will be much appreiciated

Check ignition timing and fuel mixture.
