why is it that when im on the highway my car is running on high RPMs and at a low speed i was juss curious

can this possibly b my distributor or spark plugs

thanks

 

what gear are you in at what speed and rpms

 

more importantly what tranny do you have?

 

if your car is an si then that is the way it is.

to fix it, sell your car and buy a dx or std or hf crx.

No. It's something called "gearing."

DX gear ratios are all the same as the Si ratios, with exception of the final drive.

why would you waste that much time on a single cam tranny? just curious.

 

a stock 91 si runs 4000rpm at 80-mph ish

 

I have a 1990 crx 1.6 si and im at about 3,200 rpm at 80. It doesn't have a whole bunch of torque but just enough so i dont slow down going up small interstate inclines. 4k rpm sounds high to me. My mods are k&n air filter Strait pipe ,Exaust,
My weighs a ton to. I have atleast a 100lb sound system. Try taking out your cat.... it helped tons in mine

you must have a dx tranny if you are cruising at ~3200 rpm at 80 mph..

make sure you select the final drive.. cause that makes all the difference
