My 86 syncro is having difficulty getting moving from a dead stop. There seems to be no 'oomph' available. As soon as I get a bit of ground speed things seem to improve and it accellerates at an acceptable rate.
I had a head gasket replaced recently due to the wasserleaker syndrome. What does anything think of: 1. Timing set incorrectly. 2. Rotor cap contacts burned. 3. Muffler or Catalytic failure. TIA John-Reed Maffeo |
