Hello. So I have a 1980 porsche 928. Has a dead battery but if i jump start it, it starts right up. It revs fine if its in park or neutral but if i put it in drive and try to give it some good acceleration it kinda stalls. So my uncle passed away and I now have his project 928. The engine shouId've been complete. I know he drove the car occasionally and he never mentioned a problem to me. I know he had a porsche mechanic go through the engine and replace gaskets, belts, tune up etc... So I don't know a lot about the car and don't have the money to take it to someone. I really just want to figure it out so I can trade or sell it. The engine doesn't shut off but I have to wait a few seconds before it re-engages. If I barely press the throttle it will accelerate through all gears and reach a decent speed. For instance if I am at a stop sign and try to merge into traffic and give it a decent amount of throttle to avoid being hit, I have no chance. Its almost like how a car behaves if its red-lined. I try to give it power and there is nothing there. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure how to respond to your questions. Think I'm going to trade it. Just got offered an Audi A6. Had several other good offers, such as two newer street bikes, 4x4's etc... However I need to figure out the problem before I trade. It also has less than 50,xxx original miles.
