VG 30 warm up

[nissan4x4]

when i start my pathy in the morning and let it warm up about 5 min then take off, man trans. it acts as if it doesn't have any power till it almost gets to operating temp fully.is this normal? my dodge truck when you start it, and you can take off right after a cold start without hardly letting it warm up.

check your compression.

 

when an engine is ust worn out, this is a first sign.

 

how many miles on it?

[nissan4x4]

77,150

77k on an 88?.......... no way

 

I have to let mine warm up for 20 min

I agree, on the older engine you need to warm it up before you take off, there is a part, I can't remember the name, that my mech. pointed out that helps with that but it is not worth the expense to replace. Mine does fine after a warm up. Good Luck!!

thanks for the help i just changed the spark plug wires that helped tremendously.also the pathy has low mileage because it was some guys second car and didn't hardly get driven at all.
