So Sunday I was driving some country roads and opening up the throttle like I haven't done in a while, and to my dismay it just feels worse in the low revs, like the 7a is having trouble catching its stride. Also at high revs, there's a distinct burning smell coming from the engine bay that goes away with modest driving. The low power I'm thinking has a lot 9if not all) to do with my bad exhaust, but I'm wondering what would account for that smell... I know I need a new valve cover gasket and possibly injector o-rings. Any thoughts?
Update: Replaced the PCV valve and grommet (the grommet was completely corroded), and had a shop weld the exhaust leak for $40. Now the little guy's zipping around like days of old. This post has been edited by senick: May 10, 2011 - 6:51 PM |
