Default The engine loses power

Hello to everyone,
I have a 93' 940 turbo and today the engine started losing power. Now I have noticed that when I start my car up from a dead start and put into Drive it stalks/chokes like its going to cut off then quickly resumes the normal driving condition. It seems as though it is doing this choking thing everytime I accelerate, now, and it takes forever and a day to switch from gears because of this as well. I don't know what to do and I really need help with this for I am a college student and I don't rely on my parents to help me out.

Jay

You may have a problem with your distributor check the electrical conection for the sensor on the side of the distributor.

Good luck

Yea that may be the issue but I was told from a mechanic a few hours ago that it is either the turbo went completely out meaning I need to replace it or the throttle body gasket went bad and bolt the goes the housing screw came off as well......... so I am going to replace the gasket and screw to see if it corrects the problem if not then the CAR MUST GO!........LOL
