My homie has a jdm b16 in a crx and he told me he was having probs with his car because he felt a lot of power loss. He just changed his oil/oil filter cause it was running really hot and he is wondering what else he can do? any suggestions or what to check first? his car still runs really hot.

thanks

 

Tell him to check and see if his cat is melted shut...... mine was, and it did the same thing

 

if it is running hot and he keeps running it like that it could warp his head. if it is still running hot after tha ti would check the thermostat. does the radiator leak by any chance? like a hose would be off of it or something. phatty is probably right but i am just trying to suggest other things if he isn't

 

If the cat was melted shut then wouldn't the car run like ****?

 

HOLY **** you have a leisure suit larry avatar

 

if i were him i wouldnt drive the car until the problem was solved. id definatly check the thermostat its probably stuck shut thats what happened to mine. those thermostats are pretty old if they are the originals.
