Default CEL on startup, and backfires past 4k rpms

Haven't had any problems with my gsr swap, had a cel come on once and while but it always went away when i turned the car off. This morning it was raining and I started the car up and there was a CEL from the begining. I drove and realized when I go past 4k rpm i stutters and "pop pop pop" and won't go past. I pulled over and checked connections and drove away and havent had the problem since. Any ideas?

i had the same exact issues years ago in my old 88 crx. occassional CEL, and while the CEL was on wouldnt go past 4200 rpm, just sputter and spit like a rev limiter..... ended up being very dirty fuel injectors

i bought some good fuel injector cleaner (STP) and put it in once. The car ran worse for about two weeks, i never had a problem again for the next 1 1/2 yrs i ran that engine.

give it a try. could always pop the injectors out real fast and look at the tips, spray em with brake clean or something...
