Just picked up another 240 its a 92 hatch stock other then crappy exhaust when i picked it up it felt really slow no acceleration and it has a very deep exhaust note different from the other 240's i have had. it idles fine at 600-700 and dosent cut out or anything just very slow. just wondering if anybody has any problems like this thanks.

Distributor may be off a tooth or plugged cat? . My guess is the distributor.

well i had that problem last year, i never figured it out, but i fixed it

the car prolly had a clogged cat. or emissions ****. and possibly bad compression after redline shifting for maybe 6 months straight, (yea i was a ricer) *keyword WAS

now its fixed, running no cat, no emmisions, built and boosted. feels great.

point is you should look at, compression, vac, timing, and i dont know how youd check the cat but maybe that too.
