a clutch or automatic that slips , is indicated by , rapid RPM rise with out a speed increase. (slipping, but automatics are designed to slip.....)[thus the name slush pump]
if the car bogs, that is condition of the engine, the lack of power and the lack of any
appropriate RPM increase under load, see? "aka: gutless, dog,slug,no power,etc"
but... forget all that....
prescription:
1-tune up. ( plugs,wires,cap, rotor and filters)
validate igntion timing, if off more than 2 degrees (panic) (you must place the freeze timing jumper to do this or this is a waste of time)
If timing fails, validate cam timing, "if off panic" then check the crank pully key way slot.
if ok, then replace Timing belt, and idler .
2-Regardless , set the crank pulley to the Service Bulletin value 94ft/lbs !!!
all kicks older than 1997 ( some 96's)
anyone getting an old 16v needs to always suspect a bad Timing belt.
if you dont you risk destroying the whole engine.
there is no better advice on first get car , checks.
if you need the procedures just ask, can pm it to you.
just send a pm request.
procedures,
Tbelt, lash, TSB's appropriate, Ignition timing 86-98.
they are 1 click away.
