so...i just put my old header on my car....and that day it started "spurting"/"bogging" now its gotten so bad, that it stalls while im driving....i dont know what it is, its kinda like im running on 3 cyl. but i checked my compression, and its 175, 175, 180, 175...which is like perfect for single cam....i was just wondering if this ever happened to anyone?

any codes?

 

more info needed. you should do a leak down that will give you more information on how the piston rings are doing. post those results.

 

If your check engine light came on check the codes,like what crx88si said.
You did say 'old header'-what about the O2 sensor?

 

im throwing some codes....my speedo doesnt work....
uhh...im throwing codes for speed sensor, and for position sensor....

and i changed my 02 sensor....

 

also..my tranny is leaking....i have a brand new clutch in...but the tranny is all fucked up....can i say that?? oh well.....and i only have 2nd-5th...no 1st or reverse...i dont think that would have any effects on it running so shitty

 

Fix your TPS and the sputtering will probablly go away. It's probably just out of calibration. Get a multimeter and a repair manual and figure it out.

The speedo thing is most likely your cable drive that goes from the transmission to the back of the gauge cluster. Take a look at it - they sometimes pop out of the tranmission or break internally. You will get a VSS code if you are having problems with the cable - speedo won't work if the cable is messed up.

 

yeah my speedo doesnt work....nor does my tach....or my temp gague.....i thought it was the cluster...but then i switched it...and still same problem

 

Ok,So you have a few problems,pull down the carpet and tell us the codes.

 

code: 9
code: 17

 

you need a new dist. also check the ground wires all over the engine and cabin (under the dash)

chk the ground wires first as they may fix the code 9.

 

just kidding...thats 17...i dont know what to do...and i dont have enough money to buy a new motor

 

bump

 

is your exhaust gasket good?

 

yeah its good

 

Check the search for "bogging" and there is a **** load of posts this should narrow your question a bit. My bud used it for a vtec bog problem and it helped him out. sorry couldn't help more. goood luck

 

thank you!
