I just looked at a 88 900T Conv, 5 speed with 80K original miles. It is in terrific cosmetic condition. Before I took it for a spin, I checked all the vacuum hosed and made sure the APC clicked when the key was on and the brake pressed per guidance given to me yesterday on this board. I took it for a spin and watched the turbo gage go about mid yellow and right about 2600 rpm the engine started to run very rough, hesitated and seemed to lose power. Dealer did a quick change of the distributer cap/rotor, but it still did the same, actually got worse. Mechanic thought it might be a bad fuel fiter. I also noticed some oil leaking past the hose clip going to the Turbo Cooler. I already own a 89 900S and this turbo seemes harder to shift and the clutch pedal has a pronounced vibration when I place a my foot lightly on it. Doesn't pop out of gearthough and accelleration vibration isn't too bad. I am most concerned with the power loss and the rough shifting. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
