Subject:      Technical Performance Qs Regarding Stock 2.1l
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I am having two issues and am not sure if they are related.

First issue is that when accelerating the engine it is very slugish off the
mark.  Actually difficult to get started in first gear with any sort of
power.  Hill starts are very fun.

Second issue happens when first started and cold.  The car starts fine but
for the first couple minutes will stall after accelerating the engine.  It
can be difficult to start if it actually dies.  If am able, I can keep it
from dying by giving it a little gas, otherwise it hover around 500 RPM and
then dies.

This is a stock 89 2.1l with about 135k on it.  It has been recently tuned
up with new wires, plugs, etc...

Thanks, I appreciate the tips.
