Finally fixed this promblem!!!...b16 voodoo RPM and bogging...small write up.
Now I don't drive my CRX as much as I would like too...about 2 times a week.
INFO: 1988 CRX Si w/ b16a
Rewind back to July.
I basically only drove the car too and from car shows...The last "long" trip i took was from Jersey(NYC area) to PA....on the drive back almost a hour into it, the car started to bog a little when I was on the motor hard.
After that i took it easy and it was basically fine.
Come August, I went to the Wheel Concepts show in Edison...maybe 45 min drive.
Drive to it was fine, then when we got there, after the car was sitting in line to get
in it was bogging on me again HARD...
basically the motor wouldnt rev pat 2,000-3,000 RPMS.
It would only rev to say 5 grand only if i pressed on the gas really slow.
So i parked the car inside the convention center...the show was the next day.
that morning i went and got new plugs/wire, rotor, cap, coil, and ignitor.
Day of the show i replaced everything except the ignitor (forgot)
Started it up, ran better, thought it was good to go...MISTAKE!
The show ended around 9 or 10....
Left the convention center, it was pouring....
Got to the Newark Airport area of the turnpike and all hell let loose.
RPM's where going crazy, car was bogging hard, like it was only running on 2 cylnders or summin.
After that happened like 5 or 6 times, each time i would pull off and turn off the car...after 10 mins of sittin there, it would rev fine.
After lookin on H-T for a lil bit i read a few posts that had the same symptoms as me and that it was the ignitor.
Changed out the ignitor last night and its running perfect again.
boo bad ignitor
yay new one
