What's up everyone! So first off, i have a 1994 civic VX and a 95 OBDI GSR swap. I recently did a head gasket and timing belt change and got problems on problems on problems. Timing was off so i got that fixed. There was a short in the engine harness, fixed that. And nowwwww, my car is lagging around 2-3k while accelerating with no CEL. Using a P72 ecu. NEVER ran like this before i did a head gasket change and reason why i did it was a coolant leak. Now don't get me wrong, i searched up everything.

Solutions that i tried, but didn't work:
-I changed my fuel filter weeks before i did my head gasket change.
-I changed my spark plugs, and spark plug wires
-Sea foamed my car.
-Switched distributors with a friend to see if it was a bad dizzy/rotor/ignition coil.
-Checked my timing with a timing gun

Don't know any other possible solutions that could help it. Any help please? Thanks!

Compression test the cylinders.

lol seafoamed.... yah you probably just made things worse with that.

any CEL ?

@ RonJ@ht Is there anything else i can do before compression test?

@B_Swapped93 Seafoam is meant to clean out gunk out of your engine bro. lol No check engine light.

I'm not dumb I well aware of what it's supposed to do, I'm more aware of what it's been known to do...

@B_Swapped93 Can you scientifically prove it's makes the engine worse? Or are you going based off of experience? If so, then I've heard plenty of people using seafoam and making their car run better. Anyways, anyone else?

B_Swapped93

lol just search around here all the proof you need....no I don't use it. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

x2 check mechanical timing tho

MarkCayabyab

K so when you say mechanical timing you mean the cam gears pointing "up" and the white mark on the pulley lined up with the mark on the lower timing belt? if so, then yeah everything is correct. And i also just checked the injectors by warming up the car for 20 mins. and getting my multimeter and check the Ohm's on each one to see if there were any number differences it all turned out to be the same number

had the same issue a few times, one time a wire on my map was frayed.... last time my injectors werent lined up properly.
