Low power at low rpm - Metro Geo Cars & Trucks

The electrical load on the alternator will pull the engine RPM down. It takes 10 H.P. to run the alternator. The only recourse to low RPM at idle would be to install a larger diameter pulley on the alternator. Extended idle could result in low battery charge rate. Should be fine at hi way speed. The alternator will not put out below 750 Rpm.

Your pump might have been fine the whole time. If your RPM goes low, your fluid pressures drop. If your power steering gets to the point of failure at low RPMs, I would recommend you re-check how much power steering fluid you have.

Not sure what a Vulcan is, but if it has an ignition module these have high rpm and low rpm sections. You low rpm section may have failed. Parts stores can test these if you take the module out and take to them.

check vacuum advance on distributor /should move with vacuum suction applied

Incorrect spark plug gap sub grade fuel plugged fuel filter emissions faulty electrical problem need more information

its possible your rpm is too low,when ac go on,it will take some rpm too.

yep a stop up fuel filter.will cause low power.also bad gas and if transmission fluid is low.transmission will starting slipping. causing low power.check transmission fluid if it looks black has burnt smell.change transmission fluid and filter.

buy new spark plugs. i had same problem

The 4AGE does not start making good power until you get to 4200 RPM when the TVIS kicks in.

"112 hp (84 kW) at 6600 rpm and 97 ft·lbf (131N·m) of torque at 4800 rpm in the American market."

no it is the power steering pump. the pump is worn so at low rpm or low speeds it is real tough to steer. but when the rpm is picked up the steering gets easier.

Also check belt tension but at high rpm speeds the belt would slip and squel real loud. so i would point the problem to the power steering pump.

hope this fixs ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
