Hey, I was looking to buy a honda CRX. The one im looking at, the guy told me that when you try to start going and take off to fast the car will start to bog down. Any idea's on what that could be? And maybe how much it would cost to fix. thanks

 

put a b16a in it. or a b18.

 

Distributor, coil? ignition system? fuel filter? Just putting ideas out there. really not sure. Have you test driven the car?

 

not yet, but the guy told me it was probably a coil. but i also figured out its not when you take off to fast, its pretty much when you like floor it

 

turbo lag.

 

^lol

 

*bump* anyone else have any ideas on what could be wrong? just looking for a few oppinions so i can see if most people are thinking the same thing.

 

Does it also bog down when you take off normally or is it only when you try to launch the car? Does the car ever regain it's composure and get up and go or does it continue to bog?

 

check cOil....
Spark plugs...
and TPS sensor...

I would say the TPS because if the ecu can't see how open the TB is it won't give the right amounT of fuel..

Not enuff fuel =bog down
Not the right spark= bog dow..

 

it is only when you floor it, and im not sure about if it regains its speed, but i am going to test drive it tonight and ill post again then
