So far I have this problem since about a month ago. Since last service (oil and filters), car is not behaving like it should. When I accelerate, there is gap between pressing the pedal and accelerating, even when engine is hot. I have a feeling that it is never get warm enough, but the ventilator turns on after some time, so it is ok. First I suspected on carb, but I cleaned it and even replaced it. Symptoms were the same. Then I suspected on ignition, but I checked sparks, contacts, point of ignition and everything was ok. Then I replaced the manifold gasket because car was running good on "winter setup"- when I connect hose from air filter to exhaust pipe. But then it was shaking on idle. So, I replaced manifold gasket (Victor Reinz), but no difference was made. Then I sprayed this new gasket with brake cleaner, and the car was choking. I contacted Slovenian R4 doctor and he told me that only original gasket would do the proper sealing, so I bought brand new Renault gasket. It is far better, but there is still small gap, and car is slightly choking while accelerating. I checked with brake cleaner, and now there is no leaking.
So everything is new or checked, there is no air leak, but the car is not like before. You have to notice that problem starts all of a sudden. Everything was perfect, but then, next turning the engine on, it was bad. Do you maybe have some advice? Thank you very much!
