yepp i can be in neutral and hold it to the floor and it will rev reallllly slow, when it used to jump up to redline real quick. while in gear it doesnt have near the ***** it used to.

this just started happening and ive been trying to figure out what it is for the past 3 days..

just put new plugs and wires in and made sure ignition timing was right.


i need help!

please someone! any ideas????

 

you seem to be getting used to the motor...also its a pretty slouchy motor. the only thing i can think of would be a lightweight flywheel if you arent throwing any cel's.

 

nahh cant be geting used to it..

it used to spin once i hit 2nd and would chirp 3rd, but now it will arely chirp 2nd.

i can fel a huuge power difference, this was a very strong motor before..

 

The VTEC is gone thats why.

 

i think it could be a fuel problem, wiring issue with the fuel to air mixture, i bet theirs could be a sensor slowly going out, id tried reseting the ecu

 

btw no gsr could get away from my ls in my del sol and it wasn't even running right so their no slouch, you dont really need vtec unless you want power at the top end

 

ive reset the ecu plenty of times, but ill make sure to check some wiring tomorrow in the daylight.

but yeah the ls is in my gutted eg hatch and ive took down quite a few cars.. quick for what it is

 

yeah their not awesome fast but quick for what it is, im fixn to drop 1 in my ek ill prolly just do some bolt on's i dont really care to do a ls/v

 

any other ideas people.. i need this thing running right

 

Disconnect your positive battery cable, and step on your brakes for 20 seconds. *this will drain your ECU of residual power* Reset your ecu, Take off your Fuel Filter, and blow through the top hole, if there is any resistance, replace it. Make sure your timing is right.

I know you said you reset your ECU but if its not drained, it will save the old information..another way is to remove the fuse under the hood, it will reset your clock and stereo though.

 

ok i bought a new fuel filter and put it on, and reset the ecu like you told me too. its running a lil better but is still bogging 1k-3k

any thing else i should try??

 

Check the resistance on your throttle body and the cable....could be too loose, or too tight. and check the intake manifold as well, just make sure its opening right, take off the intake and rev car from under hood and look in...

Does it run different cold? like start it up and drive, i swear mine does the same thing but runs soooo different when its started and driven as opposed to when its warm.

 

ok i checked all that and its good, its running better now.. thanks alot man

 

For future reference, bad timing will do this too.

 

how was the play on your throttle body? cable ect? just interested

Tyler he mentioned he did check timing after he did the plugs / wires

 

theres not too much play on the cable, feels normal to me..

but i got it running alot better now.

only thing is that it wil only run smooth and pulll hard if the timing is all the way advanced.. does this mean im off a tooth or two on the cam timing??

 

yeah i think so^^^^ and your supossed to have a small amunt of play in the throutle cable

 

alright i will try to line it up tomorrow, and ill reply and let you know
