89 wouldnt acclerate
hello Merkur forum... I need some help
i have a 89 5spd merkur. It has been garage kept most of its life and clean but after sitting on the last few months the previous owner use to go out and start and and just let it run.. I went to go look at the car and it will start perfect idle perfect and even rev up smoothly. When you go to take off it boggs down ( acts like when a carburetor loads up) and wouldn't accelerate causing dentation after starting to boost.....I have been told possible ECU..Vac leak. etc etc whats your thoughts
thanks
