well i have a 90 s 5sp

and for a while now,my engine has just stop pulling around 3-4k rpms..im taking it to a mechanic after class today, but i just wanted to get a little insight as to what the problem might be, i went to another prelude forum and someone suggested a possible tranny problem. i think that might possible be the cause of this, its got 152 and some change on it.

also i have trouble starting it,unless i start it a certain way, which is stepping on the gas and then starting the car with the gas held in, only way it will start, but i think that just a problem with my spark.. i just wanted to see if any of you could give me some insight as to what it could be. thanks.

Have you changed the fuel filter? That would explain the hard starting and the power loss.

 

i got the fuel filter changed when i got a tune up in mid august.
could it possibly be that the intake manfold is carboned up?
