slowly getting through all the little issues on this engne. however i have stopped it from pinking! FINALLY!

anyway now my problem is when i press the pedal flat, it does not like to accelerate and holds back after 3k, its asif someone is putting the brakes on, you can feel it try to go but then stops and just goes hideously slow...

any ideas? sombody said to me that you can reset the tps? and also i have recently fitted brand new ngk plugs for this engne and it seems to be worse than the old ones....

another issue that i am unsure of is that sometimes when i put the ignition on and the pump primes, i hear air in the system like bubbling? is this normal?

cheers
