Cleaning the plugs, contanct points, and rotor = back to normal. Must've been losing 20hp. The rotor has crusty shit all over it. All the low end torque has been restored. :fawk: Fixed the endless surging too, turned out the air valve thing wasn't screwed into its housing so it could move around erratically.

I thought it was odd that I had to give it WOT under 4000 rpms to move and the exhaust was dirtaaaay and smelly. It sounded a lot different after I did it too. I'm thinking this is only a temporary fix and I should actually buy new parts, right? I think it may already be feeling a little slower already but I can't be sure until I drive it a couple more days. The top end pull still doesn't feel right. Could part of it be that my plug wires have cracks and I just electrical taped them? Also the plugs were pretty dirty for only 5000 miles. Could it have been the surging or lack of spark or being wide open at low rpm?

whoa when did this turn into a tech forum!? :eek3:

One other issues I am havings is the brakes are starting to get weaker. I have new pads and shoes ( h: ) all around. What could be causing this?

This is general tech stuff and this forum gets the most traffic.

20 hp on a butt dyno eh?

ED9man

whatever, it was a significant difference.

Anyone know the answers?

B16 has no torque :rick: :chuckles:





















:chuckles: still a great engine though. However, I just believe emissions are cleaner after what he did. I DON"T believe it put 20 hp gains. That's just ridiculous.

My 91 crx si had a bad master brake cylinder. The brake pedal eventually went all the way to the floor, and i had to pump it to make the car stop. I got a re-done one at Advance Auto for like 50 bucks with the trade in of you old one. Very easy to change. The most trouble is bleeding your system after done, which you need somebody to pump the pedal for you while your doing it. Not saying this is your problem, but maybe. You did'nt give the exact details of your weak braking.
