Subject:Why no low end torque?
From:John-Reed Maffeo
Date:Tue, 20 Jul 1999 10:57:24 -0700

My 86 syncro is having difficulty getting moving from a dead stop.
There seems to be no 'oomph' available. As soon as I get a bit
of ground speed things seem to improve and it accellerates at
an acceptable rate.

I had a head gasket replaced recently due to the wasserleaker
syndrome.

What does anything think of:

1. Timing set incorrectly.

2. Rotor cap contacts burned.

3. Muffler or Catalytic failure.

TIA
