Help problems
Ok just got an 2003 es lancer pretty cheap. 120k miles.
problems i had driving it home
When you drive the rev goes up but in gear when i floor it takes for ever for it to get to higher mph. Not a slow car thing even a prius moves faster. Something is wrong and i was thinking it could be vacume related or sensor related.
motor seems healthy it fires up everytime and doesnt smoke but i need to see whats happening with no power to wheels. seems odd. Doesnt feel like slipping clutch because there is no power in any gear.
Please not the car moves and drives just i could walk faster not really but its really unresponseive
THanks for your help guys

and im pretty sure its coils and what not
replaced sparkplugs seemed ok however there was oil on the back outside of the spark plugs?
if its a vaccum leak what is usually the most common?

yea thats a multi misfire,,,change plugs and coils. the coils alone are $75ea new but i have a good set i can sell ya just incase that dont work cause you usually cant take those back after install. oil on the outside of the plugs could just be the grommets in the valve cover. vacuum leaks are hard to determine you will just have to listen and feel around. does it smoke or anything?
