If you followed my previous thread, car overheated, blew head gasket, etc...
Everything is put together, planed the head, new thermostat, new temp sensor.
At a stand still, car runs very well, so smooth that you have to check to see that it's actually running. Revs up very well, smooth throughout the entire RPM band.
On the road (under load) it's another matter. Car doesn't have the same power as before, and is sluggish when you put the pedal to the floor. At 4000 rpm, car won't continue to build rpm......it just won't. If I continue to keep my foot down, motor falters and sputters.
I was thinking that ..........
A. It's a vacuum line connected wrong
B. It's bad plug wires, but their characteristics wouldn't change overnight, and car wouldn't run well at a standstill either if that was the culprit (would it?)
C. ????
Here in Mexico, most mechanics aren't familiar with Honda motors (neither am I yet) Car was given a complete tune up with new fuel filter, etc........
Any ideas?
Anybody have a 2.2 VTEC vacuum schematic?
