hesitation going full throttle
Guys, this is starting to get to me, i have replaed cap and button, new ignition coil all toyota genuine parts, and had just had iridium plugs 3 months ago, and my car everynow and then wont push me back in my seat stomping on it in 2nd gear doing about 4000 rpm, i have no vaccum leaks, clutch was replaced with exedy hd clutch 2500kms ago, new timing belt, timing is spot on, and fring 10degrees before top dead centre, ALOT of seals have been replaced, it has good compression 175 over all 4. apart from that its a bone stock 1992 3sge aus mr2
sometimes ill stomp on it itll rip hard sometimes even break traction, and other times it will kind of stumble, not miss exactly but seems as tho is has no power then all of a sudden pick up a bit but no where near as hard as other times,
all these tests are carried out once engine is at op temp, and in the dry.
also, my horn has stopped working, relay was replaced, no dice still :( it clicks, getting contact at horn, but no beep beep, is there a fuse somewhere? and where is it located? i cant find it. and if anyone has a spare horn id like to buy it
thanks guys

Have you replaced the Ig leads or tested them? Why was the coil replaced? was it bad?

Leads, have no been replaced the contacts still look good, cap and button were fairly used and alot of whit powder in the cap,
coil was replaced as i was refreshing the entire ignition system, due to the car haven done 170kms on original parts still standard leads in there but i have tried a few aftermarket leads, but cannot fin any that are small enough to fit into the dizzy cap, there all to large and dont go into the contact points properly, and i dont really want to pay 220$ for standard leads, even at my buy prices, i still think its a bit steep, so ive been hunting for a suitable aftermarket replacement thats cheap and fit properly!
im thinking maybe ill pull th plugs check them, and perhaps replace the fuel filter, havnt done that yet.. and i read that could have something to do with it, or maybe the igniter, but dont really want to shell out another 150$ for another ignition part that may not fix my problem.. ill double check the timing and advance it a bit, but my previous mr2 Na did not have this problem, so im trying to work out what was different in that one, and te timing was advanced.. but i doubt thats my problem.

:) just looking at the ends of the leads does not prove they are any good. It's the resistance and continuity that matters here. If you are refreshing all your ig parts the leads should be right up there to replace way before a coil. Just buy a set of the Denso ones from twosrus. Heaps cheaper than OEM.
I'd almost put money on the leads being the problem. I've replaced a couple of sets in the past due to similar problems that your experiencing. It's a lot more prominent on a turbo engine when the leads go bad.
Anyway that's my 2c on the issue.

I'm not sure why you want to advance the timing again though??? The engine works best at the factory settings.

Just checked Ebay and you can get a set of Eagle leads for about $100. Denso ones from Twosrus are about $50 plus post. What cap and coil are you using? the ones with the large hole (90/91/92) or small (93+)?

When your saying hesitation, how much slower are we talking? Does the car barely move or does it just feel a bit slower then on other days?

Try resetting the ecu and see if that does anything. I think u pull the ecu fuse for 15mins.

It's quite noticible how much it dosnt get up and go
Haven't checked fuel pressure I really don't think it could be that servere As it runs fine starts easy etc just when I stomp on it 2 times out of ten It seems a bit hesitant or laggy
I may reset my ecu and put new plugs and a fuel filter I'm and go from there

No AFM on his motor. Fuel: It may start and run ok, but in a WOT situation the flow would need to be greater. So if it hasn't been changed recently, maybe a good idea to eliminate the fuel filter from the equation - won't cost much anyway.

yeah, ill get one today. as well as new plugs and see what happens, it had just got a ful 2.5 inch stainless polished exhaust put on, with hi flow cat and all stainless from the flex back, it was awsome, and is not loud, untill you get into it. very happy, and it milked the kilowasps out of it, much better all through the rev range very happy, still have the standard muffler and tips however.
so ill see how we go, im hoping it is plugs or filter, however i dont remembver it doing it much after the new exhaust?
