For some reason my car is loosing power.... Mostly on take of, i don't think it's the clutch cause it still grabs good. Does anyone know what it could be. By the way i drive a 95 200sx se-r. Thanx....

It feels like it doesn't accelarate as quick as it did before... i have 72,000 miles can it be the oxygen sensor or something like that.. I put new wires, cap rotor a few weeks ago, i changed the plugs and fuel filter a year ago. I duno what it could be.... Thanx for helping...

Check your timing, if you never adjusted it, it might be real low, the 200sx comes at 8 degrees from the factory I THINK.

i've tried to do so before but i never get a good reading, it seems as if it never gets into timing mode. I let it warm up to normal temp, then rev 2000 for 2 min. then rev up to 3,000 for 3 times. Shut it of unplug tps then start again check rpms; and timing.. But never seem to get it right.

No, warm the motor up, unplug the TPS, then rev it up past 3000 3 times. Check the idle speed, then check/adjust timing.
