weird issue help
So I'm having a weird issue with my new coupe. So I thought it was my breaks dragging but now I'm not sure if that's it. I was driving today on the highway and hit the gas to get up to speed and basically nothing happened. So I just pulled back a bit and it started accelerating. When I got in my neighborhood I tried this again from a dead stop and seriously nothing happened. Anyone have any ideas?
I guess my clean new coupe has some demons.

First thing first I would replace your fuel filter spark plugs and all the normal stuff when you first by a used car..

so at WOT it bogged, but at say, half throttle, it went... right?
sounds like the same kind of problem that another TR guy is having...
start with the basics.
make sure your timing is right
see if the fuel filter helps.
if you have a buddy that has a good running car, borrow his fuel pump and see if that helps.
check your TPS and make sure that is right.
start with all of that and see where you end up

So I did my plugs and changed the fuel filter. Runs better but under 1k rpms full throttle does nothing. We tested the fuel pump its working just fine. Anyone have any other ideas?
