i checked all fuses,fuel pump i replaced cap,rotor,all wires and sparkplugs. my car idles real low now and has barely any power i was thinkin to replace the coil can that be the problem?

 

I dont drive a honda but old oil can slow the engine down. an it does lose power........alot

 

Somehow I doubt it is old oil... I would check your timing first and then follow that up with a compression test. You should try to diagnose the problem before you start throwing money at it (I've been there and learned my lesson).

 

i did and oil change and trans oil change to ive done a whole tune up i doubt its my timing cuz my idle is not like all retarted its just low but i will still check it

 

either timing or maybe dizzy isnt adjusted right

 

wat do u mean by not adjusted ryte?

 

you must be gettin some type of codes? which ones?

 

I have the same problem with my B16a I was also thinking it was the coil. I went and checked my timing it was good. I haven't tried a compresion check, but when I first swapted the motor was strong and not to many miles later it started with your problem. Do you have all your vacuum lines hooked up?

 

+1 check and see what codes you're throwing

 

hows your fuel filter have you changed it in the last 12 mos?
this one gets overlooked alot

and +2 look up ur check engine codes

 

my vacumm lines r hooked up ryte i will try the fuel filter and how do i get the codes?

 

Could be too advanced or retarded? If it's running rich it may have fouled an o2 sensor, which I'd say could be the case.


Money on a code 1.


Lift up the carpet in the passengers foot well to see the ECU, there will be a small LED which will flash in accordance to what code your throwing. 1 short flash = 1, 1 long flash = 10. Keep in mind that after it's flashed it's code, it will repeat. So, flash.... flash...flash Would be a code 1 repeating itself, flash flash flash, in quick succession would be a code 3 etc.

Hope that helps!
