Alright guys I have a few questions. my 2001 chevy tracker has some stupid mods from the previous owner, including bixenon lamps (with some goofy control module) the fog lamps or whatever make zero difference in visibility, i literally cannot tell when they are on, but if I run them the idle bogs down to 550 and rough. It's not dramatic, it took a couple weeks of driving it before I started noticing. It also struggles to run multiple accs. For example if I'm running the wildsheild washers and radio the belts will squeal when turn hard or brake. I drive at night almost daily, and havn't had any issues with the lights until the other day when they were flickering and stayed off for a few seconds. Pretty stressful because I was in the middle of nowhere at midnight. I was pretty scared they would die completely, but they didn't and the problem hasn't returned.
Second issue, the previous owner installed a stupid high flow air filter. It has decent low end power, I can climb hella steep hills just fine, but it dosn't feel like it wants to accelerate until I hit 3k rpms. If I really give it gas, it roars or some kindof noise a bit but dosn't accelerate. I'm thinking this is due to dirty MAF, totally detached and flopping around intake temp, and cheap air filter that isn't really filtering.
Any ideas?
