I have an 83 turbocoupe and after getting wild with it one night, when I Shifted to second gear it sputtered and lost power. Im pretty sure I didnt over tach it. With the engine running at idle It seems fine.But when i give it gas it sounds as if it is back firing through the air intake ( Filter )
I have checked the timing and that is fine. I checked the cap and rotor and that looked fine. I checked the spark plugs fine.Replaced the catalatic converter. checked the alignment on the camshaft fine
Any help would be greatly appreciated by the way its a 2.3 liter turbo thanks

If it's sputtering when you give it gas then maybe you should take a look at your fuel filter. Your air filter might also be a place to check. Especially considering you mentioned that it sounds rough by the air filter.
