Ok, so i noticed if i take off from second gear and if i try to accelerate hard like half throttle it struggles and if i floor it it struggles way more but if i keep it at a quarter throttle it will pick up decent below 2200 rpms. Is this normal for a Honda engine? or maybe the timings off?

 

How's your clutch?

 

could be alot of things

 

clutch is New with only 1000 miles. No CEL.

 

it only does this at under 2200RPMS after that it accelerate fine.

 

got a timing light yo?

 

What car and engine do you have ? More info...

 

No timing light bro. Its a 1992 Civic Lx with JDM D15B And Y8 Head And P28 ECU.

 

if i remember right my old complete d16z6 did this crap to.

 

My first thought is check the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor, as well as the ignition timing as mentioned. I think you can free-rent a timing gun from AutoZone.

 

Everything is new. it runs great idles perfect. its only if i push hard on the gas under 2200 rpms it boggs out. and when in V-Tec it sounds like a **** load of tiny flames are coming out my header. my brother said it sounded like it wanted to blow lol. i think it is pre detonation not sure though.

 

Get a timing gun.

 

Will it matter if i don't have a timing belt cover on? will the gun still work?

 

yeah the gun will work but u wont have a mark to see what your timing is.

 

do you mean the point on the pic above? how would i use the gun without a timing cover?

 

You need the lower belt cover to check the mechanical and ignition timing. Where the heck is your cover and why run the engine without it?

 

well i broke it off and melted it with the torch because i couldn't get my big pulley bolt off and need to set the timing and put the new belt on.

So i guess i can't check my timing lol.

 

Get replacement upper and lower covers. They are absolutely essential to check the timing and protect the belt!!! Have you tried a junkyard?

 

yea they have them their. but then im gonna have to take that crank pulley off.

 

Bring PB Blaster, a big *ss breaker bar, and a screw driver to block the flywheel from turning.

 

it won't work. the transmition will break before that will work.

 

I had a 25 LBS im pact wrench and it took it off like nothing but i dont have it anymore.

 

no it wont, i had to take my pulley off and thats what i did.

 

Not necessarily. Soaking in PB Blaster should help. Alternatively, borrow or purchase a hex tool.

 

so theirs no way in hell i can check my timing with it off?
