no power???
Hi all,
My 1987 2.9 v-6 , has a crazy problem.
this is a rebuilt engine,all normal stuff replaced,
when the temp outside is above 70F it has no power, lucky to get it to run on the flat , must keep RPM'S above 2500 to 3000. so only getting to 3rd gear ( manual 5 speed overdrive)
Now when temp outside is 70F or below it runs pretty normal.
But in order to drive it , i Have the timimng set at 24 BTDC,and it should really be at 14 BTDC.
Have replaced all sensors with used ones from another engine.Their condition unknown, ( used,from junk yard)
Cant afford to just throw out $30 at every sensor to troubleshoot which one is bad, thats if it is even a sensor,,
Fuel pressure,tested,new fuel filter,air cleaner,plugs,wires,cap,rotor.
Any and all help is welcome.
Thanks...
Tom
