My b18a in my 90 teg has for quite some time, bogged occasionally at very low rpms when moving from a standing start. I can get it rolling fine, but when I go to accelerate, the engine bogs heavily and I have to disengage the clutch to keep from stalling. I don't recall this problem ever happening once the engine was warm, but I'm not 100% sure.

I figure it might be either a fuel or a spark problem, and I remembered a while ago my mom took my car in for an oil change. She said the guy told her that my spark plug leads were shorting out. I ignored it because I just figured he was trying to sell my mom some spark plug wires or something, but could that be related to my problem?

Thanks

 

That's more than likely your problem, either that or bad mounts.

 

Yeah, I thought of that too, and I'm reasonably certain my mounts to suck. Maybe I'll try to fix those over the winter. I tried to buy plug wires today but the first place I went to didn't have them and I didn't have any more time. I guess I'll just fix things until the problem stops.

 

after u replace the wires, if the problem is still there, u should try testing the tps(throttle position sensor) on the throttle body. i remember when my tps went bad the motor kept bogging off like u explained. i ended up replacing a bunch of **** before i found out that the tps was the reason for the bogging

 

What should I check for on the TPS. Is it something obvious or is it a little harder to find because my tps and throttle cable get checked every time I get my car teched for autoX, but it's certainly possible that we're all missing something.
