1986 900S 16v
First: When I am accelerating, it feels like the engine is being starved of gas (predominantly in the first 3 gears). The only way I feel any power when accelerating is if I pump the gas peddle in short bursts. Even if I take the RPM's up to 5000, still no power. I don't think it is the fuel pump... but I'm not sure what's going on.
Second: My check engine light comes on and flashed 4 times (I know this is a common post, but I don't have the tools to retrieve the flash codes). I can replicate when this happens by holding the RPM's @ 3000 in second gear for approx. 5 seconds.... then the light comes on. If I turn the car off and start it again, they don't typically come back. The lights also won't come on once the car is warm, even if I hold the RPM's at 3000.
I'm stumped and have no cash to take it to my mechanic.
Thanks.
