Plugged fuel filter?

Plugged air filter?

Plugged catalytic converter?

Replaced fuel pressure regulator, idle air control, distributer, cap, rotar, has new plugs and wires, timing gears and gaskets,timed to specs runs like a top when idleing only when under load does it see like it can't breath yet there are no cats on it straight pipe from manifold. Parts listed above were replaced and ran like a top now not even a week after fixing it does this... >_< ... I thought it was timing but it appears not to be the issue

Could be, plugged fuel filter, faulty fuel pump, faulty/dirty fuel injector(s), plugged/damaged catalytic converter,

Assuming this engine has throttle body fuel injection, remove the air filter assembly and run the engine at idle. Notice the fuel spray coming from each fuel injector. They should have a nice smooth umbrella shaped spray coming from each injector. If not check the fuel pressure, should be 9-13 psi. If one is spraying nice and the other (or both) is pouring or dripping fuel, you may have dirty or faulty injectors.

Is centrifugal acceleration a uniform acceleration?

In the rotating frame, it can be (though it doesn't have to be). In an inertial frame, no (though it can be uniform in magnitude).


How does decreasing force affect acceleration if the mass stays the same?

ANY net force will cause an acceleration. If the force is reduced, there will be less acceleration, though.


How do you find velocity with no acceleration or time?

Velocity can only be identified by acceleration or time, even though we can also find it using force


When did Australia join World war 2 and why?

Australia more or less walked directly into the middle of WWII, because England was fighting, and Australia is part of the commonwealth. That means we have to help out England every time they stumble into a war. Many Australians are pushing to become independent, though.


Why does the acceleration of a merry go round change even though the speed stays the same?

Acceleration is always towards the center. In other words, for a person on the merry-go-round, the direction of the acceleration changes all the time; therefore the acceleration changes.


A situation in which you can accelerate even though you speed does not change?

"Acceleration" means a change of speed or direction of motion, or both.If you change direction ... like turning a corner ... then there is acceleration,even though your speed is constant.Anything traveling on a circular track, even at a constant speed, has constantacceleration.

Is is normal to have sluggish performance in first gear on a Mini S Model?

No this is not normal. I have a supercharged mini and it is not sluggish at all. I don't know if the turbos are sluggish in first though. [EDIT] Other's have complained of this and I've noticed it myself as well, if you simply pop the clutch before giving it a little gas it will bog down a little. If you give it just a little gas before letting the clutch out you shouldn't have this problem and if you do then there may actually be something wrong.


Why do engine looses acceleration after a certain speed?

Acceleration is the a change in speed or direction. Once a vehicle reaches a point where it is maintaining its speed but no longer increasing (or decreasing) the acceleration is zero. Even though you may be moving rapidly it is at a constant speed.
