Hesitation, rough idle, and slow uptake on 95 850 T

please do not pay $95 for a hose, take it to a parts store there could be one they could match up. I found one and only paid $7-had to cut it down, it had all the right bends. Im not sure it was the same hose that you are getting!

No I won't pay that much. Actually it is a custom hose. It has a fat 3 inch part and a smaller 1 inch hose coming out the side. Quite custom part. I have a friend that runs a junkyard and he just got an 850T in yesterday and it is too smashed up to repair.... I think I will head there after work. Either that or I have another one lined up for $25....

In the meantime I taped the shizzle outta my existing one. The car runs better but still has a bout of the stalls every once in a while... I will see if the new hose fixes the issue completely...

Talk to George over at VPtuning. I believe he has some of the Samco intercooler hoses in stock. The Samco hoses will long outlive your car.

Me to, hehe. My hose went from black to silver with all the Duct Tape. I think the dealer quote on mine was like 70 something dollars so I'll try the auto parts route when replacing mine. Thanks for the tip 95AT.

Put new spark plug wires on a friends 850 today the difference was night and day! It went from a hesitative rough idle to a new car-like smoother and quieter idle! Thats it.......I am sold on new spark plug wires! Thanks Bosch. We did the spark plugs on it about 3mos ago.........

If wires are bad -- grounding to the block -- you can see it by popping the hood at night. Look for electrical arcs.
