Tips to fix sluggishness
#11
I have seen a post where a guy put and eaton m90 supercharger in his DI, and he was pretty happy with the results. I have read some about these engines when buick made them. I think they would have held up then with the way the sleeves were made, but now I think you would have a rolling compression bomb.

Wow, thanks for all of the tips.
I have only filled up once, but it was premium Shell. I have about a 1/4 tank left (only have a 3 mile commute) so we will see what the rest of the month holds.
I bought a can of seafoam. Actually, I bought a lot of stuff from them (Deep Creep, silicone spray, the induction cleaner with the special straw...). On my next fill up I am planning on putting Seafoam in the tank. Also going to clean the throttle body and replace the air filter. I need to look in the Rave manual for the fuel filter location on these things. I will check out the plugs/plug cables.
Luckily, the PO had all maintenance done at a Rover dealership, and all of that stuff showed up on the carfax when I bought it.
I am not looking for a hot rod, but I have driven several '04 Disco 2s while looking for this one and I can tell I am running a little sluggish compared to others.
Oh, as to the puffing sound, it seems to be originating near the driver's side firewall, but I can only hear it when I am accelerating. Thanks again guys.
