recently i started running a 92 accord in the hornet class at our local dirt track.
first week the car had allot of power and rpm's in low 2. this week when i hit low 2 i couldnt get half the power i got the first week. low 1 still has its power and i can gain spots right off the green flag. as soon as i hit low 2 it feels like im losing allot of hp. car still runs smooth no spitting or sputtering. there no converter on it so i know its not clogged up. the only thing i have changed on the car was. i pulled the dimmer,window, and lighting relay. due to it was causing a battery drain while the car wasnt running. thanks for any help that anyone can give me with this problem.

 

I'm going to have to look that up.
Have you checked for codes? Does the CEL and D4 light[/quote]
I'm interested. What do you have in place of the TC? A clutch? Like an old school Lenco setup? Very interested in more tech/info on this.

 

dash is out so i can not see any lights on it.
havent ran codes on it yet. but with the car being fully stripped, i would bet im going to get all kinds of codes.
someone suggest fuel filter and im going to try that but im confused why i have plenty of power in low 1 but lose allot of get up and go when i shift to low 2.
sorry didnt mean torque converter..... meant cadilictic converter or how ever you spell it.

 

Still interested...

 

compression on one cylinder shot?

 

did some digging. took the ecu and the at/cu out and opened them. the at/cu looked clean and nothing bad. opened up the ecu and walla. theres a burnt spot inside on the cover. flipped it over and theres something burnt in the area of "d12" does anyone know if thats whats causing it and what does it control? i have p[ics but i dont know how to post them here

 

dont think it is cause i have plenty of hp in low 1.
also if i put it in drive and try to take off it feels like its not starting in low 1. but i can manually pull it down in low 1 and the hp is there. when i upshift it to low 2 it feels like i went straight into overdrive (not much power)

 

 

 

back at square one. new ecu did not fix the problem.
as long as i manually pull the shifter into low 1, the tranny grabs fine. after gaining speed and manually put it in low 2 . it feels like its going straight to overdrive.
if i start out in d4 the car feels like its slipping.
kinda lost here .... any help ????
