no power below 3500 rpm?
okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk so i bought an eagle talon tsi awd yesterday and it was prettttty sluggish when i test drove it, but figured it couldnt be too bad after a tune up, so i got lazy and only changed the plugs, and that seemed to help a little bit. Buttttt it wastes a rediculous amount of gas...im talking like....8 mpg....and anything below 3500 rpm just makes it seem like im chugging along...like starting from a dead stop in second gear...that feeling.....yeah.....any suggestions?[:'(]

umm sounds like AWD to me lol. I know that when the car is not under boost and the RPMs are under 3K the car will vibrate and feel slow because the AWD. My EVO is like that under 2.5K it vibrates (like cant see out the mirrors) and then when it spools it moves.
other than that maybe try a new air filter to start with and go from there

no. awd doesnt take 8 mpg. something is wrong. It wont start sometimes when cold. thats not awd.

awd is a little different.. But if everything is running good, its not that big of a difference.. But if your turbo isnt spooling up as fast as it should, it may seem a little doggy at first.. How does your turbo sound once it spools up, or as its spooling up?

if it stil has a stock turbo there should be enough power below 3500 rpm, and 8mpg is horrible. id replace the plugs as well, and even do a compression test. if you have no/low compression in any cylinders you will be slow and get horrible gas mileage

i replaced the plugs the day i got it and it helped a little bit. It also has trouble staying alive when im trying to cold start it. It will go down to almost completely not running, then it will jump up to 1000 rpm and just juggle itself around like that. Im pretty sure the turbo is doing its job. I can hear it, and the boost gauge moves up and down depending on how much gas im giving it.
gahr. Im just gonna take it to a shop tomorrow. All this computer stuff confuses me. This is the newest car ive had. Ive had a '64 econoline, 81 rabbit, and an 87 toyota. I look under the hood of any of those cars and theyre relatively simple. But i look under here and its just an engine bay jammed full of crap that i dont know what to do about it because its all hooked up to the computer........
