I'm having problems with my car I drive a 94 mitsubishi magna 3.0 v6 I have dramatic loss of power to the point where my 0-100km/h would be at least 30 seconds Can't get the car above 3k revs And there is a scraping noise coming from the exhaust that increases with revs Mechanic's Assistant: Where exactly do you think the noise is coming from? And how long has this been going on? Been going on for about a week or two now Hard to say Doubt its an exhaust leak because power loss is too big and the noise it's making doesn't match I'm planning on doing a compression test soon but havnt gotten around to it Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model of your '94 Mitsubishi? Magna Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? If I can't fix it myself I'll take it to a mechanic but so far nothing because I havnt had time
