Re: Help acceleration problem
sounds like your ignition timing. but check for vacuum leaks. i had a problem just like yours. id step on it and it was like my b16 turned too a 50cc bike engine! down to ignition timing in the end.

Re: Help acceleration problem
it depends on what the timing light shows you...
as i understand codes don't go away, the light may go off but you should still be able to pull a stored code. also, confirm the CEL comes on for a few seconds and then off when you turn the key on. you could have a blown CEL bulb... (kinda rare, but possible)
