my friends crvtec was working good this morning when the exhaust was on totally. then when a straight away, then the exhaust fell off just from ripping it. on the way home the car would run good except it would be too loud. at like 7grand the car starts dieing like the power isnt climbing, usually it doesnt do this. could it be that the exhaust is to free flow and instead of making power it loses power??? could it be the lack of backpressure?? or something else?? can i get some suggestions??? please thanks!!

 

Exhaust would have absolutely nothing to do with it. Sounds like your car needs a good once over. Wiring. EXHAUST!!!!! And a bunch of other stuff. When it runs good, and then just all of the sudden goes bad usually meens like a loose connection of some sort. Does vtec work?

 

If your cam gears jump timming if will feel similar to what youve explained.. That of course isnt likley though

 

yea vtec works like a charm. there is no problem with wiring it just came out of no where when the exhaust fell off it just lost top end

 

lost a lot of top end....it lost to a single cam...STOCK!...damn that race sucked

 

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbhump need answer!

 

bump

 

is he doing anything for extra fuel?

 

umm fuelpressure is all the way up. chipped p28 for fuel enrichment and a vafc and fuel is riched there too

 

does it idle differently..

 

no it runs good

 

oooooooooooooooooooop

 

Have you checked the timing?

 

dist is all the way advanced....car was running fine since september on this setup till the day that the loss of power started.

advanced all the way?

u have vafc ? what r u using to engage vtec ?

 

we are running vafc which was tuned before the c-t-r cams and dc 4-1 headers and yes dist is advanced all the way, thats where the car performs best at.....no pinging...so i think we are good to go.

 

Check the module inside dizzy!!!

 

iight g

if ur motor isnt tuned for those cams it or it will act up or ping because ur ***** not tuned

u need to time ur car. if it pings its ur gas not ur timing.

timing will make ur car slow...id double check that.

sounds like ur belt or cam gears slipped maybe ur ditributer sliped

 

it doesnt ping....i've stated that before, and we are getting the car tuned asap....its been good ever since that day....hope it doesnt start acting up anymore.

 

oh.

well good luck.. hope u fix it.

 

yup....me too...thanx
