hey i purchased 93 850glt couple of months ago just now started to drive
i have like not poor acceleration but not 9 second accelerationa as it says everywhere mine probably takes like 11.5
i changed almost everythin there could be (fuel filter,spark plugs ,air filter ) what else can play a major role in acceleration??

second problem just happened yesterday all of the sudden overdrive arrow started to flash any suggestions (relay?)

and my rear brakes killing me with a noise i discovered there are shoul be shims mine didnt had it before so installing them i would stop a noise but still noise appears what else i can do to fix it (turn rotors?)

i also curious about my radio i have sc811 and there connection for an amp
if i want to have one sub do i need an amplifier or i can connect straight to sub?


Please Help!

i'd start a new thread in Audio about your Amp question...

[Dmsee]

thanks
but what about other questiona

[the underlørd]

how many miles are on your NA?

168 bhp aint' much..


and the Up arrow flashing could be the sign of bad PNP switch.

what kind of MPG do you see? car run well?, no cold start issues, when was the last time the Plugs/Wires/Dizzy/Rotor were changed?

i just started to drive but i think it gets 18-20 in city
car runs pretty good no problems
no cold start plugs new,air filter new fuel filter new and etc
maybe o2 sensor??

well, the 18-20 in the city would make me think that your O2's are ok..

where did you read 0-60 in 9 seconds?

[Dmsee]

everywhere in specifications and stuff
so you thinks its impossible to get 9 seconds?

Car with that many miles will not do the advertised speed. I'm not sure what a NA is suppose to do but 9 seconds sounds a bit fast to me for a non-turbo 3000lb car.

[Dmsee]

but still car got 168 horsepower!

9sec is going to be hard to get in a NA.

The answer is "More Octane" needed.
