well as some of you might know, i have a ls swapped crx... today i went to pro-motion tuning in fredericksburg for them to install my nitrous kit, after the install it was put on the dyno and put down 185hp and 201tq.... i was happy with the results for now so i headed home. halfway to the house the car started acting funny! it wont rev past 3200 rpms and i can feel a loss in power, i know they mesed with the timing but im not f'in with that . i checked all my vac. lines ad such and everything came up ok. i dont know what it could be so please help me! im sooo bummed out right now

how's the idle? dry/wet ? compression test?

IPUNCHBABIES

idel sometimes cuts out and the car dies, its a wet kit. as for the compression test it hasnt been done yet

execelon

i'd do a compression test or atleast pull a plug and take a look at them. you could have burnt a valve.

damn, if thats the case then i will be pissed, i mean it started not even 20 minutes after it came off teh dyno

execelon

Yeah it's not that bad, a good weekend project. you could check for a dead cylinder by pulling the plug wires when the car is running one at a time. if it does NOT make a difference in the way it runs when you do this, that would be you dead cylinder. if it misses more then that cylinder would be in good shape.
it could be something else

everything is working fine now, i did what you said and everything did exactly what you said it would do, get worst! well after letting it sit overnight its like nothing happened at all! lol

execelon

that great that it's not serious, but still wtf.. A friend had a problem where he would start freezing some sensor (ait map etc). you would have to let it sit and warm back up to normal temps. the car left you on the side of the road for a good 20min. it was sold shortly after we never got to pinpoint the problem. it only really happened when he was spraying for long peroids. ie :highway racing etc.

That sounds like its in limp mode i believe its whats called? cel???

SlowLS

either limp mode, cause when you spray on a wet kit, you are also dumping a lot more fuel and some probably was not burnt fully and the o2 read your car running really rich. Or could be a dizzy getting ready to go out on you.
