Hey guys its been a while my gold beauty has decided to not be fast anymore the reason being when i put my foot down or almost fully down it just starts firing back it feels like it wants to go but it wont and it sounds like a choking sort of noise and its embarrasing when a little lancer beats you anyway i put all new platnium spark plugs in but didnt help its kind of made it worse by the feel of it, so please guys any suggestions

Punctuation might make that look more like English.

Tsk Tsk, Peter, so demanding. I distinctly see a comma just after the 85th of the 90 words.

I can't believe I just counted the number of words in that, err, sentence. My life sucks.

I copied the text and in a terminal window wrote: echo "" | wc -w
pasting the text between the quotation marks.
You can see there are five words after the comma.

because we are frigging about waiting for a readable question Ryan, or were you referring only to the first post?

Sorry Nayr,

I have no idea why a little lancer with platinum spark plugs is making him feel embarrassed about the choking sounds coming from his golden beauty.

Did I just cross the line?

A bit more background info about what events lead up to the lack of performance may help. Did he modify something, hear a bang, just start it for the first time in 5 years, or did it just begin as a stutter and grew from there?

I have a similar issue.. I put my foot down and the car goes nowhere... it appears that there is a lot of smoke at the back of the car.. smells rubbery.

any suggestions?
