Default acceleration problem

i was wondering if anyone knew wtf is wrong wit my 94 civic ex. when i drive (normal not racing) and get between 2500 and 3500 rpms it starts to bogg out and then just kick in. Also does any one know any sites that show diy alignment and how to adjust a skunk 2 camber kit

dude i have the same problem with my 97 ex, just after i put in brand new headers, a downpipe and skunk2 intake manifold. It is either an airflow issue where there is not enough backpressure or too much backpressure. Or it could be a transmission issue, since i have problems with my trans. mines an automatic whats yours?

You'll need a camber guage regarding your camber kit. Some are selling for sub $200 I think.

I'd say it's a tuneup issue before you start blaming a header.

not questioning what syndacate said but ive been told that headers and or big free flowing exausts can cause a decent amount of power loss due to not enough back pressure but thats just what ive been told

What kind of exhaust are you running there, and the piping from the header to the cat size?

my car is standard it is n/a i have no name headers i bought from a friend (did not happen when he had them) and a 2 1/4 '' cat back i dont think its my headers, i just tunned it up. i think it has 2 do wit a fuel problem and filters, the car was sitting for a year with out being turned on. i already changed my fuel pump the car has trouble when cold to turn on. it does start quick but it boggs first then kicks in. i also have trouble with the red line. the fuel cuts off around 6800 rpms be fore it actually is supposed 2 red line. it used to cut off at 4000 rpms. i have tried every thing i can think of i hope someone knows the answer to my problem.


PS. with this problem i still managed a 14.8 1/4mile

I too, share this problem. My EX bogs when i floor it or just give a lil extra gas till about 2500-3500 rpm then its fine. It has trouble starting in the cold as well, new starter so im thinking fuel filter? or plugs/wires? Intake/air filter? Someone help us!!?!??!? lol

Edit: O yea, dont think its water in the gas lines cuz i put Heet in my tank twice.
