Hi,
I own a 2000 Civic SIR (Canada) with the B16A2. This morning I started my car, let it warm up for 20 minutes, and then took off. I noticed the following:
1) The engine was hesistant to go any further than 4000 rpm.
2) If I went past 4000 rpm the VTEC would not engage and it would take a long time to get any further than 6-7000rpms (which I probably shouldn't have been doing).
I've owned a bunch of VTEC Hondas & this one gets me.
The only thing I can think of is that I filled it up with too much oil, but the dipstick is reading level. I have an appointment this afternoon to have it looked at but if I don't have to spend $$ to have a mechanic look at it I won't.
Clogged Air Intake? Clogged Exhaust? Fuel?
Thanks, Casey
