My best freind (very good mitsu mechanic) just finished mine with a WP/TB install at the same time.

He replaced all seals, gaskets, everything.

Everything went well but two things.

1.) Exauhst leak, no biggie, we'll fix next weekend.

2.) THE PROBLEM

Imagine if you will........ You'r sitting in the car, it's idleing good, you push on the gas for normal "green light" acceleration and the car kinda sputters. So you try variations of this:

Start to go, it sputters, you let off the gas, the car picks up like it should have when you were giving it gas (just for a second), then decelerates.

Start to go, it sputters, you keep giving it gas, it works it's way through the sputter and then drives and accelerates as normal

Gas to the floor (on a dirt road), the car starts to move forward but does not even spin the tires (on gravel), you keep it floored and about 2500-3000 RPM it "kicks in" and starts spinning the tires. Kepp in mind that it took 2-3 seconds to reach 3000 RPM.

And now...... tonight, it is idleing way low, to the point that the lights start to dim.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
