    Sluggish :( Please Help

    Hello all....

    I'm pretty new to the E30 side of things... I bought an 89 325ix Auto to be my winter car. Looked the car over a bit and thought that the $3000 the guy was asking for seemed like a pretty good deal... Well.....

    So far I've had to replace the radiator, upper and lower hoses, fan blade and clutch,water pump, all belts, inner and outer cv boots...both sides, tie rods..both sides, changed the fluid in both diffs, trany flush, rebuilt the rear calipers, new rear pads, new rear shock mounts, heater core, air mass meter boot, breather hose, battery, radio antenna, trany shift linkage, new spark plugs and wires, and last but not least the thermostat.....

    Still having some issues with it but at least its running and I have heat.

    Problem is that its seems to be a bit more sluggish now than before I worked on it. Its driving like it has no power. I jump on the freeway and it doesn't want to kick down so I can jump up to freeway speed.

    Ideas??

    Thank you

    Dave

    usually when something is different than before you started, you go to the last thing(s) you did. Check all the wires and make sure each spark plug is firing. If it is idling good and you can rev it fine sitting still and it is only a driveabilty issue, then the tranny is the imost likely ssue. The tranny "flush" probably did more harm than good.
