I'm still having a power loss problem in my '89 200tq when it is under
load. When I go up hills, it hesitates and has no power. The other
day, the car wouldn't start because the spark plugs fouled. I replaced
the spark plugs, wires, and even the distributor because it was making
noises. THE CAR STILL HESITATES!. I can't find any vacuum problems. I
even took a precausion and replaced the intercooler hose with no
imrovement. I'm about ready to give up. I've been working on this
problem for a couple of years now, and can't find the problem. If
anyone has any advice, please respond. I'm desprate to get this car
running properly. I did check the turbo. There are no metal shavings
in the hose. The shaft does move slightly from wear, but I don't think
it is bad enough to cause a problem. Any replies would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
