Recently I have been getting gas in my oil. I was told it was a leaky injector. I bought new injectors, installed them, and got my oil changed today. I won't know for a while if it fixed the problem, but I have noticed a power loss (before I changed the injectors) in my car. The motor only has 107,000 on it (LS b18b1). I tried advancing and retarding the timing, replaced rotor and cap, changed plugs, reset ecu, everything I can think of. All i have on it is a shortram intake. I seems like the biggest powerloss is at higher speeds. My car won't go over 110 now!!! Could it be a sensor? MAP, o2. FPR, loose ground? please, any suggestions..

anyone?

 

does it smote?

 

Nope, no smote...

 

hmm.. how bout trying out bigger injectors?? are the ones you got brand new?

 

They are slightly bigger, and yes they are brand new. I can't figure out what it is.

 

Could it be a bad FPR?

 

well lets think here
you replaced stock injectors with bigger ones, your not running a VAFC or SAFC in your case, and it was never tuned.
put STOCK injectors back in. that should be your first step
why do you need to go over 110?
and whats it do when you reach that speed?

 

does it smote?

smote

 

my k wont come up so,does it burn oil?

 

Ok as I said they are slightly bigger, and I also said that there was a performance loss BEFORE i put the new injectors in. Maybe you didn't read the part where i had a leaky injector either. I was going 110 to make sure the performance loss thing was just not in my head, I have had my car past that, so I know something is wrong. When it gets up to that speed it acts like it just doesn't have the power to go faster. Weird.

It's not sm0king.

 

This thread is effed up.

Possibly worn rings.
Possibly poor fuel combustion 'cause of plugs, ignition, distributor etc.
Possibly restriction in fuel line/filter causing power loss.
Possibly bad O2 sensor. O2 sensors can eff up a wet dream.

 

does the exhaust have a catalist converter? if yes check it, it's probably clogged. very common problem on Hondas. When my customers complain of power lose that's the first thing I check and usually that's the problem.

 

There is no easy way to check if its clogged is there?? Hmmm well i hope thats what is is.

I said before its not smoking, so its probably not the rings!!

 

In short something wrong with my engine? Thats pretty broad, but I know its hard to tell what is wrong over the net.

 

dude, sorry to break this to you but that is what scientists call "aerodynamics" and the physics of motion...

put your car on a dyno.

that this the only reliable way to measure you cars performance.

t..

 

Sorry dude, but I have had it up past 130 before...dont think physics have changed lately.

 

yeah, probly a good point

good luck
