compression test the motor... usally they sound like this when its only running on 3 cylinders

Rust on the ecu.....is this a flood vehicle? If not, the ecu may have been left outside in the elements...mainly rain. If it wasn't a chipped ecu, I would say try another to test it out. Of course, not everyone is going to have an extra P30 ecu laying around you can borrow for usage.

All four cylinders getting spark and fuel? Exhaust leaks? Look for black spots along your header and your b pipe where leaks are commonly found. |

Wife's hatch is doing that right now but it's severely misfiring.

Re: CIVIC SOUNDS LIKE A SUBARU..WTF
^^^ it's one of the plug wires. I had MSD plug wires before and one of them messed up. If the car can't go pass 35mph....that's the culprit because you are running on 3 cylinders.

Re: JDM B16 surged then acted like it didnt want to get out of its own way
Part of the problem with this thread is your sparse description of the problem. "Sounds like a Subaru" and "didn't want to get out of its own way" don't say very much.
Is the engine misfiring or is it just experiencing a loss of power? Any CEL codes? If it's just a power loss, check for clogged cat, if you have one. |
