laggy take off

have you ever herd of one doing that before? The car will roll around with the push of a little finger. Ill check anyway.

Thats not it if you can push it.. Just wanted to verify that you aren't just fighting the brakes...

[mikemounlio]

I mean ill check the brakes just to make sure they are working the right way. But yes its not the brakes. I really do think its the timing. Just havent had the time to check it yet.

Check the air flow tube for leaks from the box to the intake, any rips or holes will restrict the vane operation.
Also wet/damp dist cap (had alot of rain lately?) this normally creates a cutout like water in the fuel.

this one got me

Had me racking my head till i finally found a crack in the rubber tube from the air box / black tapped it and was good to go / ran 100 % better

i will really double check this then. I took the bolts out of my air box but it didnt make it run any better or worse. I even tried to put a gap in the air box just to see what would happen. It still didnt have any effect. I will try to shut it complete off from the outside air (how its is from factory) and see if it runs better. Thanks again guys.

Just to make sure. Do you know that you can use a can of starter fluid to locate cracks like this one, described by apintonut, and leaks in the vacuum system? Spray the suspected ducts, hoses, and connections. If the engine responds by speeding up, you have found a leak.
