    Questions about my CB7 (yes n00b stuff)

    ok well i've been trying and trying to tune it and came to the conclusion today that maybe thats the way it is..

    its slow as hell when it take's off, (like lacking power)

    takes for ever to shift even when crusin.
    rpms are high as hell when semi-flooring it and awaiting the shift, from 1st to 2nd shift it shightly pulls to the right then picks up speed as it should have in 1st gear..


    also now my steering is retarded..
    its easy as pie to turn right but its like theres not power steering when turning left (yes i bled the system)

    please oh please help,
    thanks in advance

    You're providing some lack of misinformation.

    1. What motor are you running?
    2. by lacking power, what are you refering to?
    3. at what RPM's are you shifting at?

    Have you done a full maintenance tune up?'
    What the miles on your car?
    is there any problems with your tranny?

    And are you tunning a stock engine?

      sounds like the tranny is going out...or bad fluid...more like low level to me or low pressure. When's the last time you changed the fluid?

      try doing all the routine maintenance items.

      as for the steering...could be a bad rack.

        Nobody cares that it's a noob question. That's what this section is for. HOWEVER, please make your thread titles descriptive. This site isn't just for you... we expect the information provided to add to the searchable database of information... and nobody is looking for "noob question" when they search. Thanks.


        What do you mean by "tune"?
        Are there any error lights on? Check engine light? Flashing S or D4 light (you didn't tell us which year your car is... it matters)

        Give us information, and we can help.

          hard steering in the left could be the piston that adds power to that direction of steer in the steering rack is leaking or possibly has a clogged valve (not too clear on what the valves do but I was looking at a schematic of the steering rack last month and I recall they exist and can get clogged)....are you leaking power steering fluid?

            Are you talking about shifting in Sport mode or normal mode?

                What's also great about this site is that the mods are smart enough to notice post whoring.

                  it a 90 ex sedan, f22a1 171,xxx miles

                  the tuning im talking about is normal maintance well mixed with adjusting. the FITV, fixed the idle, was surging.
                  i just got the car a month or so ago an it ran horrible
                  the rpms not sure can get a video later
                  when i changed the plugs they where "normal" acording to the haynes manual
                  my trans to motor gasket lol looks like it might be missing, only need this trans to last till i can afford the 5spd swap. i know it leaks a little.. but i checked the fluid and wasnt low.


                  deev sorry for the title, at the time i couldn't think of one.. i guess it should have been like 'steering/performance/trans issues' lol idk..

                  thanks for the info and sorry for the lack of info
