..is grounded.
background:
stock d15b2 with 270k miles on it. recently done timing belt, spark plugs, distributor.
been running fine w/no issues. started fine, ran fine for about 5 miles through stop-n-go traffic, and then i noticed a sluggish, gurgling/rumbly loss of power when accelerating from a stoplight. no smoke in the rear view that i could see. temp gauge was fine too. did detect a slight roughness to my idle, though still idling at 800rpm.
the last 2 miles in to work were me hoping it would just keep rolling til i got to the parking lot - which it did...
had a meeting so didn't have time for much - checked under the car for leaks (none) and popped the hood to see if anything looked amiss (no).
kinda scared to start it up after work.
i'll check the fluids before i start the car again, and i'll check for codes on the ECU (my CEL doesn't work, i'm thinking). i don't have any tools with (they're in the other rex right now), so not sure i can get into my dizzy to check the rotor screw unless i can score some tools here at work.
any other ideas for me to check on, meanwhile?
