2 weeks ago i had an issue of my car dying on me. Turned out it was my ignitor so i had the whole distributor rebuilt. now before this incident, my car was running pretty good. now at high rpms the car does not pull at all. VTEC hits, then the secondaries right after(vtec at 5400 via VAFC). when the secondaries open, my car sounds like it has no intake on it. it is super loud, but doesnt go anywhere. any ideas?

also when i shift at redline from 1st to 2nd, the car bogs and sputters...what the hel is this?!!


TIA

 

Nothing certain here, but frequently, when an igniter goes, it'll take the coil with it.

If a few of the windings got fried, you probably won't notice it until you put a heavy load on it.

Again, this is just a guess.

 

Could be an issue of a 'carboned' up intake system due to the previous problems you had.. EGR ports could be clogged causing the very problems you are experiencing.. check your plugs, they could be fouled as well....

 

thanks, i'll look into that. anything else?

 

bad distributor rotor, timing way off, spark plugs...

 

sounds like your timing is off
