Ok, I got a problem with my 89. When I first start her up in the morning, acceleration is fine (not great but ok). Usually when I'm driving I go right onto the highway for 20 or so miles. I run around 65 the whole way, not very comfortably but if I go slower I'll get run over. When I get to my turn off the highway is when I realize that my acceleration has decreased greatly. The acceleration seems extremely slow, I can have the throttle wide open and it feels like I'm barely moving. I can really tell because the guy behind me always rides my ass because I'm going so slow. Also, when the engine is cold, it cranks up much faster. Within a second of turning the key it starts up. After it's warmed up, she takes a few seconds, nothing scary but longer than when cold. Went out the other day to try and pull some OBD1 codes, did the KOER method but I came up with no codes which seems weird. My check engine light isn't on but would it need to be to throw a code? Ever since I got this BII it's had trouble going 65 on the highway. Accelerates pretty slow even when cold, then when I get to a hill, I have to floor it to keep up. I believe that is what's causing my horrible gas mileage (10 or 11 mpg). Any thoughts are appreciated.
