Default D15B problems

Tonight my D15b was having some problems with power in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear. The problem is my power is lacking badly. I know I only have 90 something butt hp but damn I need all I can get.
Tonight I raced a stock Accord. He beat me the first time by like a fender. The second time I did the same thing and he pulled me by 4 cars. So I know something was wrong. Mind you my car is a DX with no interior.

To let you know one of my injectors does stay open. Could this have caused this bad of a problem? Usually an open injector effects the low end. Or possibly my battery not being connected? My starter solenoid wire (the one that connects to the negative terminal harness) was disconnected. Would this have eliminated any spark? I'm digging hard.

Please help. Sorry for posting in 2 areas but there was no feedback.

In order to help you... plz post milage and mods

Does the car has 100k miles yet? when is the last time u changed ur tranny fluids?
oil change... ignition components...

If you're like me and you drive the **** outta ur d15b7 then you'll have a hard time keeping her running in good condition.

I recommmend a cap and rotor swap/new plugs are a must:: its a well known fact that honda engines.. specificly the d15b has been known for poor stock ignition components. You will notice a substancial increase in power, acceleration and throttle response after tuning the ignition components to thier optimum.

Tranny fluid with synthetic oil/ royal purple with lucas oil stabilizer/ use 30% stabil and the rest oil until it spills from the case. Drive the car soft for 2 days/then drive it hard until the tranny shifts effortlessly and then you can once again enjoy the seamless transition of shifts in a y series tranny

Cold air intake/and ignition components will yeild the best gains on this motor:: weight reduction/regearing the tranny and clutch replacement will all be great mods to look into.. (ATTENTION) back pressure is what helps drive this engine... keep that stock exhaust; it will keep u from losing power.

For the $$$$ lacking just do fluids and plugs and c how that works
