EH, sluggish at low rpm's??

[RBS]

SOLVED! .. stupid coil thingy :ninja:

[JITB]

did u check your spark with a timing light? disty might be giving u the finger..

vaccum leak?

sounds like something basic.

[slostang]

im gonna say cat. hows it idle?

[RBS]

im willing to bet its something basic ..





idle? it idles pretty much perfect, stays at a constant 2 when cold.. then 8-900ish rpm when at temp.


if i hold the gas steady at around 2k rpm.. itll fluctuate up and down just a wee bit,about 200 rpms if that matters

[JITB]

so it only does it when you put a load on the motor?

[Catnip]

I know, I know!!!


It's a honda.


That's all.

crank that timing light..out and check that spark one more time..

[RBS]

will do, update tonight on what happens..

[RBS]

updated... timing is good, both ignition and cam timing

my car did the same thing with the old swap. i really just came to a conclusion that i had bad compression and the motor had stopped making power as it used to. but i never knew what was up with that swap. it basically ran like shi.T!!! eventully one day my timing fu.cked up and i had bent my valves! but since you said the timing is good, i think your motor is losing compression. but i may be wrong. gl with getting it fixed!

hrmm... well, i just did a compression test in the rain lol



numbers are 215-215-215-215 :eek:


my engine sure has been acting strange lately ...

[AnthonyF]

Hmm...if is good (plugs, fuel, etc...) Change your oil and see what color it is. I'm GUESSING you might have eaten up your bearings.

[schia89]

No codes showin up, jus like the guy above change ur oil n what kind of gas you use 93?

[im_hung]

could be bent valve(s)

[yunglaosta]

checked your dizzy and plug wires?

[AnthonyF]

could be bent valve(s)He had the same compression all across. He also would have heard engine noises. You can drive around on chewed up bearings...I know.

-Ant.

[RBS]

eh, i found the problem...





it was ASSUMINGLY the coil in my dizzy, i changed it with another one i had laying around and the sluggishness is no longer in existance. yay :yay:



everyone will be repped for your time and advice :D
