So 2 weeks ago I thought I fucked up my tranny as it was making some harsh noises and I had like no power

Well today I found a thread

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1017751

Where the guy had the same symptons as me, huge loss of power, falls on its face around 4grand form the little power it has, oil light flickers on and off when the car is fully warmed up.

I thought it was my tranny but apparently not, I cant tell if the trannies making any noise any more because my exhaust was ripped off from a manhole and Im just running a cherry bomb muffler that I had as a resonator.

I really need some advise as to what the **** is going on. Figured this would be the place to ask

Thanks guys, Ill throw any more info at you that is needed

Sohc zc non vtec

Thanks

 

did you change your oil and filter lately?

 

oil and filter changed 100 miles ago wheh I flushed the engine

Oil light has been on since I thought I had the tranny problems though

Im running synthetic oil right now, might try some thick **** oil tomorrow and see if I can bump the pressure

 

giddy up

 

Compression test you engine yet?

 

no... why would I

Oil light and loss of power, thats all Im going on right now

 

maybe if your exhaust got ripped off by a manhole something happened to the oil pan or something else underneath the motor.

Why don't you figure out this problem first ? You started a thread before on your oil pressure and now you start another thread.

 

oil pan looks perfect

WTF would cause a huge power loss and cause my motor to fall on its *** at 3500rpm

Lack of lubrication

 

really?

Wouldnt the motor still rev and have power but just size because there was no lube? I dont see why it would cut my power by like 30%

 

Sounds like a bad oil pump to me, but i dunno....

I stated in his other thread, when oil pumps fail they usually just fail, there is no in between working and semi working. Low oil pressure is usually caused from the clearance in between the bearings being excessive.

Maybe, maybe not, take a look at this guys head



Car still cranked and probably would of turned over if the timing belt would of been tight, anyways my point is that is from lack of oil pressure. You could have just enough oil pressure that your engine is getting some lubrication but when it starts rotating faster and faster it can't keep lubrication so metal is grinding away. Find out why you have low oil pressure and stop driving the car or else your gonna blow it up.

 

Have you checked your not running on 3 cylinders?

Huge loss of power and the car barely getting to 4k are "running on 3" symptoms
