I have a 93 del sol with a gsr swap that is kinda slowish on acceleration and after researching it seems to be the fuel filter.
So i was changing mine today and while i was putting the new one on cross threaded it took it back and got a new one. Now im scared to try and put it on lol any tips on how to not cross thread these things and has anyone else had this problem?

Go slow, and if it doesn't feel like its going in smooth don't keep going.

I have never had a problem with cross threading them, I just changed mine. I just put the line in, and tightened it down.

thats the plan lol i just dont want to ruin another one and waist my money, if this doesnt solve my slow acceleration problem what else might be the problem i changer the spark plugs and the cars not missing or smoking at all not ticks its a fresh swap, maybe bad gas?

Have you tested your PCV valve?
There is a lovely picture of it on wikipedia - I do believe it looks like a genuine Honda part :-)

Anyway the test procedure is in your Haynes manual is simple and if it's bad, replace it. It's cheap and a super easy.

Cap/rotor, wires, check ignition timing. A PCV is really cheep, no reason not to replace it during a tune up unless it's good.



If the gas is bad that could be affecting it.

EDIT- nevermind, I see you have a GSR. Are you runing the stock IM? If so, are the IAB's wired?

jdmwojo

yes stock im, whats a iab?

Intake Air butterfly. They tend to make quite a difference in the cars performance.

sorry for not knowing much about gsr's this is my first one but how will i know if its wired or how to wire it?

Some people describe it sounding like vtec in-guages 2 times.

Google is deffinetly your friend.

Do you buy the car swaped or do it your self?
