Hi, I have a 92 z34 3.4 with auto.
couple days ago I was leaving home for work and while going up the street, it lost power like somebody flipped a switch. to the point i have to floor it and down shift whenever i want to accelerate.
The car seems to be running ok until you drive it, meaning it idles fine, maybe a couple hundred rpm lower than usual but it sounds ok.
whenever I test drive it smokes a bit from the undercarriage, seeming to come from the exhaust, thats why i checked the cat.
I have replaced the egr valve, tps, iac, and checked the cat (ran open headers up and down the street.. neighbors gave funny looks).
It has never displayed a ses light, when I pulled the codes all i got was a code 35 (iac) which I then changed out and it did not make a difference.
I have found one broken vacuum line that goes over the brake booster and along the firewall as a rubber line then transfers to a plastic line... which has melted through from the heat from the exhaust, so i have no idea where it goes to, i think it had a 90degree connector at the end of it, I saw it hanging loose when i changed out my high pressure line, couldn't find where it went then either.
At this point I am lost as what to look at next, what really boggles me is that there is no ses light and it idles fine, if not a little low, it doesn't seem to have a miss and it doesn't smoke at all, oil looks good too.
Thanks for the help.
