What is the difference between flywheel horsepower and wheel horsepower
Try changing the gas cap.I would check with your local DMV office and see who is responsible for the smog even if you bought it at a auction
just a thought, buy a haynes manual, then do the self diagnostic test by turning your key forward twice( but not to the start position)the third time in the acc position will display a trouble code on your digital odometer! try it the look up the code for yourself!
There are mainly two ways to measure horsepower; at the drive wheels or at the flywheel of the engine. It's much easier on a chassis dynomometer IF the engine is IN your car, but if the engine is out of the car AND you have access to a dyno stand then that's a lot more fun (and expensive).
Fly wheel HP is the horse power put out directly by the engine only. Wheel hp is the hp put out at the actual wheels that are driven by the engine and takes the gearing down of the engine into consideration
