Ive got an h22a in my 98 hb and today I was driving, I got on it high in the rpms like 7-7.5k and then the car started running kinda rough, when I got on the gas again normally it sounded like theres only 3 cylinders working. Like a v8 or something.

I checked compression, wires, plugs, distributer, ext. coil. Everything looks good. Timing belt still at TDC. Any other things to check?

 

Come on, i need input on this. I checked vacuum lines and my fuel pessure gauge shows a steady flow. Any ideas?

 

Um, h22a redline is 7200rpm. You weren't hitting the rev limiter?

 

no, its set at 8k for the limiter but always take it to 7500. Anyways it turne out to be the resister box.

 

how did you figure out it was the box? i've gone through a set of injectors already and fear i may need to do it again.

 

The box had white powder coming out of it so I opened it and found a wire disconnected.

Funny thing is I pulled the head too. Oh well, Im gonna drop the head off anyways to see if theres any issues with that and I wanted to see if I had Type S pistons for sure since the guy I bought the motor from said I did.
