"Lovely looking, expensive to fix"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When you start the car it backfires through the air filter.

Under load there is a large flat spot.

Engine management light always on.

General comments?

I love the look of these cars however they are so difficult to fix.

Its had a new computer, new crank sensor, new cam angle sensor, new plugs, new leads.

And still this problem will not go away.

Any ideas extremely welcome!!!

In response to the engine light staying on in your calibra. Maybe you could ask your mechanic if they can look for a possible vacuum leak in the induction system. For example blown inlet manifold gasket or split vacuum hose or hose off.

My Calibra battery light comes on sometimes when I have my head lights on, and the engine light flashes when I turn corners. Does anyone know what this means, and it's playing up really bad if I drive over 80 km/h; it starts shaking and vibrates.
