wagdaddy Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 My 95 legacy is a little slow on take off. I'm thinking a new coil wires and plugs. Plus a stronger fuel pump may help. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 WOW! Great post Subitonic. OP basically give yourself a tune-up so that everything is working properly and efficiently. I'm guessing plugs, wires and filter and you will notice a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Seems like endwrench.com is OTA so hopefully someone captured the coil pack test .pdf before they went OTA. If so, please post it up as I don't have have it on my laptop and getting to my other computer will be difficult (understatement) from here. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHCEJ22E1 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Simple things like worn wheel bearings can also cause a slow takeoff. A lurker's .2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
