My buddy has a 94 gsr that was fast, 15.2 bone stock. he liked it, I liked it.

somthing has recently happened. its now a 17 second car.
no misfires, no funny idle no change in ANYTHING.

tommrow we are just gonna start tearing down **** to see what we can find out, everything from ignition and fuel to the cat.

anyone have suggestions on what to check?

the car is just slow, we dont know whats wrong because it runs fine. just no power. all 4 cyllinders appear to be firing and getting fuel.

recently: changed oil, changed plugs, fuel injector cleaner

Clean the TB.

 

Also before tearing it down do a compression test and check timing.

 

yes compression tester is in my posession.
throttle body. added to list.

 

tune up man....i.e. new spark plugs, valve adjustment, cean out the injectors, new fuel filter blah blah blah

 

reset ECU?

s. plug gap?

handbrake adjustment?

cap and rotor?

you did not say that VTEC still worked?

t..

 

reset ecu already
new plugs pregapped
handbrake was never touched (and even if it wasnt adjusted right we drove 300 miles a week ago so its not an issue)
dist is on the list
and vtec appears to engage

 

could the catalytic converter be plugged, Intake restricted somewhere, If the car seems to run fine besides being slow, then I would definately check out the air intake and exhaust functions of the car.

 

yep the cat is on the list as well as some form of airflow test for the im.
