So i played around with the wire for my oil pressure sensor and i no longer have any flickering of the light.On the other hand i took the car on the highway for the first time and it had all the trouble in the world to get to 140 km/h.I decided to do a compression test and all cylinders range from 180 to 185.I looked at my spark plugs and 5 of them look normal but allitle on the lean side i think and the one on the first cylinder was white.I was wondering if a bad intank fuel pump could cause such poor performance issues,maybe a clogged cat?The car runs real smooth at idle and drives ok except for the lack of power.I plan on removing the distributor cap and see how it looks.Anyone have any ideas of what else i should check?
