    so its something electrical or the timing isnt setting itself to compensate for the alternator needing power.

    getting the check engine light checked on sat. should i just wait until then or do you guys have any suggestions. i mean i cant drive the damn thing right now unless i grow another foot
    You should call your del Sol, Devil Sol. /nod

    Is it bogging with as many electricals as you can manage turned off? If the engine is bogging when powersteering is engaged...that sounds like...****. You know what I don't even know. :-\ I'm gonna ask my roommate who's a mechanic if he has any ideas and tommorow morning I'll post anything we come up with.

    When you get your car done you need to give like half of us on IA a ride.

    haha i'll blow your mind with my VTEC. i just want this thing to run

    i bought a GSR throttle body and bolted it right up... sensors and everything hooked right up and then i went to connect the throttle linkage and BAM! that **** is backwards. god damnit. so i guess i have to remove the rivets from the throttle position sensor on both throttle bodies unless there is someway to turn the throttle linkage connector around?
