i have a 92 hatch and swapped the stock blown motor for another stock motor... the motor will start and idle fine. but when you accelerate the car falls on its face. i tested the tps, changed the fuel filter, changed the fuel pump, the distributor, checked the timing, and put new spark plugs...anyone have any idea what it could be...otherwise i'm gonna rip this motor out and throw an ls in it. Thanks

 

does it have the EX or CX tranny? cause the CX tranny is horrible

 

well actually dx...but it does it when its sitting also it doesn't have to be moving...it sounds like its not getting enough fuel but smeels like its running rich.

 

Could be a blown headgasket. that would make it run like ****. done a leakdown/compression test?

 

yup did a compression test...came out good according the what the manual wants for compression.....it idles good put then when u hit about 2000-2500 rpm it just falls on its face...
