I searched and found nothing of use for me. Tonight me and my friends were cruising and doing a little messing around cuz its a kind of nice night, and at first nothing was wrong but then after like the second time i got on her, it was like, something was wrong and the VTEC would come on right away once i hit 6k and then it would sort of sputter in and out and be very hesitant at higher RPM's. Im kind of worried because i havent heard of this with any of my friends who have VTEC and this is my first car with it. Its a 96 4 door gsr. The only thing i can think of that may cause this but idk why is i need to change my oil; the Maintenance light is on and my CEL is on, but thats because i need O2 sensors. Someone help me!!!!!!
PLEASE?
Ben

 

Check the oil level.
How do you know it's going on and off?

 

I could hear it/feel it, it was jerky and very hesitant.

 

try fuel filter

 

check your oil level...second..replace the 02 sensor...problem solved

i believe Frank_2.0L is selling them CHEAP..send him a pm

 

o man. that happened to me like a couple months back. i was just driving w a couple other locals and when i went to 6k it went on and then went off several times. i thought it was the kid that was in the back seat messing around with the exposed wires since i dont have any interior. but it turns out that it went away the next day and never did it again... so far. im guessing that it was a o2 sensor or something but you should be fine.

 

Okay, so it was def. oil level, i just got the car and had mr tire look at it, and service it, they forgot to change the oil. GAY
BUt i changed it and she is runnin perty again, thanks for the help!

I don't understand what would make you just jump and preassume O2 sensor.. ahh just like a $200.00 part just throw it on there and see if it fixes it. Um no, never just throw parts at a car.

As to the original thread poster glad you got the problems fixed due to oil & i'd suggest a tune up maybe.. New NGK plugs, fuel filter, dist cap, rotor button, run some seafoam, maybe fuel injector cleaner.

 

Seafoamed and new oil, i need brakes first, then tune up, then boost

Got it all planned out, thanks tho!

and seafoam through the gas, as an injector clean

Personally i'd never put it in the gas tank. I know people do and i also know people put it in the crank case, but i wouldn't reccomend it. I always run it through the brake booster for best results. Glad its running good.

 

What do you use through the gas? I figured as great as it is, why not try it in the gas once.
