Default Civic runs like crap after about 20min of driving. Why?

Just like the title says, shortly after my 93 DX (D16Z6 swap) warms up, it starts running like ****. It idles and drives fine, but is extremely doggy when I floor it.

What gives?

have you ever checked the compression on all the cylinders? fuel filter, injectors, pretty much anything to do with fuel you might want to check

btw, what's "doggy"?

Doggy?

I dunno. I hear the term used around here all the time. Being from Indiana I'm surrounded by backwood hill jacks so it could very well be a southern (<-inbred) term and I just don't realize it

"Y'all reckon ya got anythin else? I'd be mighty grateful."

Really though, that's a good idea. I'll have a compression check done when I get a tune up.

Nope.

"Doggy"

"She runs like a dog."

That sort of thing. Damn...the hill jacks are getting to me!!!

Not yet and to the guy that said "nice" or whatever...I bought the car two weekends ago in crap condition with a boatload of problems/broken stuff to boot. It's not like I go ricing around in this thing. It spends all of it's time sitting until the issues in question are dealt with.

Sorry to be an ***, but lately this board has become nothing but a bunch of mouth. You ask a question, people smart off instead of helping out.
