Subject:      Slight lack of power around 2k RPM - 1.9L Manual
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

If any of you recall I recently had some troubles with Gertie. The end
result was a "new" ECU and some other adjustments (timing was advanced and
idle was high). I also istalled a "new" exhaust fromt he J-Pipe back.

I'm noticing since the new ECU is in she has a bit of a different
"personality" as far as how she runs - mostly nothing bad just a different
feel - that could be me who knows.

I am noticing however that there is a bit of a weak/lack of power right
around the 2k RPM area - no matter what gear I am in. I never felt that
before the ECU change.

What actually comes to mind is that it's not the ECU at all but maybe the
AFM - but I am not basing that on anything but hunch.

It's not terrible - no chugging or bucking - but there is a noticeable
"bogginess" - everything feels fine at the 1800 mark and at the 21oo mark -
it's just that small little sliver artound 2k that I feel it.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Jeff
