Strange power loss, need help.
This is for a B16 powered crx.
A few weeks ago the car ran excellent, but seemed to be very low on power. There were no codes, no smoke, it just didn't sound right, and didn't rev as willingly as it should. After doing every electrical test in the book, everything checked out O.K. The car seemed to get worse the more I drove it. Now the car doesn't have the power to rev past 4500, in pings heavily, and the spark plugs show that the car is running very rich. This only started happening about a year after the swap was done, so it's is not due to poor installation of the engine, or wiring. The timing is perfect, fuel filter is new, wires, plugs, cap, and rotor are all new, injectors are all clean and check out O.K. electrically. I've run out of ideas. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
