Now then....Any suggestions that I can try please.
1988 3.5 efi Vogue SE auto.Dead rev counter...
Lack of torque - I've not had it long and I know it won't pull off like a normal car, but I test drove a 'nail' 3.5 of a similar age while searching to buy and that had oodles of pull uphill in normal gearing (although the rest of it wasn't worth a penny!) - mine doesn't exactly accelerate, it sort of gathers momentum gradually. I can't imagine getting through a mud hole in it! There's bags of noise coming from under the bonnet but I think that is down to the fan. It's solid on the shaft, are they all 'supposed' to be viscous?
I've renewed the dist cap & rotor arm and while doing so noticed the vacuum advance unit loosly hanging by one screw! That's now fixed but was disappointed to feel no noticeable imrovement on the test run.
Can these be related? I assume the fuel etc is regulated by all sorts of readings from the various sensors. Could the dead tacho be giving the wrong signals?
I don't even want to think beyoned electrical problems (eg transmission!)
thanks for any replies
