[lyle chavez]

need help, i have a 95 eclipse. sometimes my acceleration is sorta retarded. i floor the gas and the car responds late. what can be the problem. anybody

[Travis Merrick]

do a tune up, spark plugs, clean air filter, wires, fuel filter, pcv valve and injector cleaner.  See how that does for yah, also change oil.

Yup, what Travis said and also check for boost leaks.  I'm sure you have some that need to be taken car of.  Check your timing also.

Also post in the right forum.  :wink:

Later, Vlad.

heh, just bugging cuz I noticed it's your first post. what travis said, and also check the throttle cable for slack. I'm a big fan of this fix as it worked for me.

[George Myshlyayev]

sounds like a turbo lag =)

[John Hartman]

all that stuff plus clean out your intercooler, check timing(both valve and ignition), check boost level, fuel filter, check fuel pressure, clean out air filter.

Also, check the gasket between the turbo and the exhaust manifold.  I saw a post on that once, the guy had so big a leak there that all the exhaust pressure leaked out there and didn't get into the turbo.

Also if you have no leaks but no boost either, check to see if your wastegate actuator rod has fallen off.  Mine did and I had like 1 psi.  Felt like a tuned Honda

Check your exhaust for big bends, kinks and or blocked off pieces, or a plugged cat.

if all that fails, take out the 2 dead bodies in your trunk.
