Ok here the prob my engine doesnt seem to be performing up to parr. Here is the symptoms I used to be able to hold 2nd gear to about 60 and 3rd gear to about 90. Now whenever I try to do that in either of those gears the car will litterly jump as if it just down shifted but i ddint. So i will be doing 50 in 2nd when I used to be able to 60 and the car will jump as if there was no more powering to it. The same with 3rd gear. I can no longer rev in those gears. What can be wrong with my engine you guys. I also figured Ill tell you my egr valve is shot also I have have a exhaust leak on the rear tail end of my exhaust will that play an after on what is happing.
I drive a 96 honda accord VTEC. What are somethings that i can do to check my enigne make sure it is aight.

 

If the check engine light comes on, I'd check that code first. Any other symptoms? Anything happen to make it run like that or it just did it out of the blue?
