Just in case you are wondering what my car looks like, here it is.
http://www.mn3s.org/cordia/my-cordia.html This is the web site of a previous owner. I got an amazing deal on the car, all I had to do to get it running was replace the timing belts, and remove a broken off water pump bolt from the block. It is hard to know if the car was put back together correctly after the rebuild, a lot of the emmision control devices were removed, and from my experiences that can mean plenty of mistakes that are just plain hard to trace. The car runs fine if you are driving it nice and easy, but when you get on it, it shutters and is hard to keep pulling faster. The weirdest thing is that occasionally the engine somehow disengages and free revs untill you let things settle down again, this really boggles my mind, but I am just guesing it is some sort of saftey feature of the transaxle. I am a rookie to turbo cars, and also to japanese cars as the Cordia is my first of either, so any ideas you might have would be appreciated.[/url]
