i have a 93' 4 dr with a b20 block and a b16 head.
this car pulled really quick. today i cleaned the engine qwith some engine degreaser and put some fuel injector cleaner in. washed the degreaser off, but covered the intake and distributer. when i started driving it after that, it didnt pull as hard and when accelerating, you could only hear the intake and not the exhaust, no matter how hard you punched it. any ideas on whats wrong?

 

plug wires are arcing, water in spark plug holes, something somewhere probably is still wet. give it some time and drive it normal for once.

when you post, please put a worthy title to the thread so it's searchable based on the problem at hand.

 

ok thanks. you think driving it normal for a day or two will get it back to normal?

 

i think it very well could clear up your issue. getting it to temperature and driving it around in a normal manner is the best way to see if it'll improve. if there is an issue, driving it aggressively could potentially just make it worse.

i'd give it some time and not worry about it unless it doesn't go away after several trips and/or say 100 miles or driving.

make sure you check the spark plug wire terminals/holes/etc.

 

thanks

 

youre supposed to put injector cleaner in right before you fill up the tank. if you dont do that it wont mix properly and youre engine will run worse than it does when that **** is properly mixed

true. i assumed the OP did that...

OP?

 

hes right i put that injector cleaner in my car once and my tank wasnt complety empty and my car ran worst than befor but that stuff really dosnt work that well the best fule additive out there to clean injectors is seafoam so try that next time and make sure your put it in an empty tank and fill up afterwords

 

do u have an aftermarket intake? hope water didnt get in when u started it up. i also used to be a car detailer at a dealership and had a few people spray over the dizzy on brand new cars and that messed that **** up sometimes. worse case some wouldn't start but others had charging issues thus performance and acceleration became an issue

 

BTW, injector cleaners are a joke!
