Power loss at 5K!?!?! Anybody?
Ok first off 97 civic w/ LS swap. The other night I was racing and I hit 4th gear and at right around 5k it felt like the car was having trouble getting above 6k.
Tonight I was racing and I hit 3rd and again at right about 5k it started cutting out and poping(through exhaust). Its like once I hit 5k the car has a hard time getting above 6k, it feels and sounds like a DSM hitting fuel cut.. I have been told maybe fouled plug? I have not checked yet though. Anyone else ever exerience this?
P.S. no CEL

Re: (redej878)
after changing your spark plugs, just do a whole clean up..check your air filter,make sure all your fluids are fine...just little things..then go and get it tuned
