Hello all....I am confused. I took my 89 900T out last night and it ran horribly. Very unresponsive....it felt like the entire exhaust system was clogged. I looked under the hood at night and my header and turbo were glowing....this was after 5 minutes of BARELY running at all.
So I took off the catalytic convertor, because I was suspicious of the exhaust system. I can see through the honeycomb of the cat....so it wasnt that.
Then I checked the timing......WAY off. I adjusted it and it runs like a dream again. SO.....HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN? The distributor was very secure. I have never seen anything like this...ever, and I have been working on cars a long time. Any ideas? Maybe I should take a look at my points? I will....but I'd like to hear your ideas too. Thanks all.
