After a little advice/opinion please? (carlton gsi3000)
I drive a Vauxhall Carlton Gsi 3000 24v and have been having a few probs with it that I can't seem to fix/find out whats causing them,
since i bought the car it has never seemed like it is running right , it just doesnt seem to have the power there and struggles on hard acceleration, I went to a few garages and they said that it seems to be running O.K which i know it's not!!
A couple of days ago i went to get her rolling roaded so I can prove that she isn't running right and i have been informed that the Carlton should be approx 204bhp as standard
the results of the R/R were 149bhp - 115bhp at the wheels max power at 3800rpm and 282Nm of torque
i aint to clued up when it comes to engines but the dual ram system on the car should kick in at 4000rpm and give an extra kick when accelerating however mine does not, in fact it struggles more after 4000rpm than it does before!! i have checked under the toop plate on the dual ram system and at 4000rpm the valve opens but there is no difference in acceleration at all!!
i have changed the following over the last few months but to no avail
spark plugs
HT leads
air filter including sensor
lambda sensor
fuel pump
can anybody offer me any advice or even a good place to go to get it looked at as most garages don't seem to have a clue about the car yet alone the problem!!
cheers
