Default Car Feels weaker sometimes.

Whats goin on ppl. Well i have a 95 hb with a b18c swap. Sometime my car pulls weak when its warmed up and pulls hard when it not fully warmed up. Whats up with that. Ive changed my dizzy rotor and it felt better, then like 2 weeks later its started acting up again. U guys think its a fuel problem or ign? what should I do? and my temp gauge was kinda of workin then drop to cold. chaged the thermostat and now its the temp gauge isnt even working period. the sensor is pluged.(bad sensor?)*** me right?

thanks man. 2 yrs, hmm there goes my suggestions lol. IMO take it somewhere and have it looked at. It's hard for me to really understand the issues unless I can see/hear the car. Sorry man. Good luck.

you may need to have your ecu tuned to understand the fuel and air it should be getting. Since you didn't mention any misfiring, that may exclude any ignition issues. You may just be running lean or rich depending on the outside air temp. (my opinion)

Have a compression test done and see if any cylinders are misfiring.

my d15b had a problem similar to this one. It was my IAT sensor getting heatsoaked, and thats caused the ecu to retard my timing over 5 deg. ECU retards timing when it see air temp over 130
