Default Funny, but annoying... Why is my car only fast sometimes?

hehe. i know it's a funny question... but i seriously don't understand... one night she'll be pulling hard... the next night i feel like i have the stock cx engine in there... i don't understand...

no check engine lights...
oil is good...
temp is not bad...
wiring has been checked and re-checked...
comp is fine & distributor is finaly good

could it be fuel related, what should i check?

or could it be my throttle cable is too long? i'm using the 92 cx cable on a jdmb18c1...

is it after a certain amount of time you are running?

i think it's a fuel delivery problem. what hose are you running from your fuel filter to your fuel rail?
