i did the timing yesterday in it but no difference.

i really need help on this as im trying to sell the car soon. has anyone had a problem like this before.

the car seems to be reving high when you put your foot on the accelarator but it just doesnt match up with the speed.

[Ivan141]

When you put it like that I would suspect the clutch...

[Euripides]

Is your clutch OK? Any smell while accelerating?

[205t16]

yes theyre is a smell but it isnt a smell of clutch, more of a petrol smell.

[Ivan141]

Well, look at it this way: the rpm of the engine is directly proportional to the speed of the car, so if as you say the speed is lower than it should be at a certain rpm, then the only possible cause can be the clutch..

But then again, maybe it's just a feeling your getting..

[205t16]

it would honestly say it probably is the cluctch but i dont understand how all of a sudden it is grand and the next day complete difference.

Possibly a leaking rear crankshaft oil seal..But then you would smell burned oil for sure I think.
