Whats goin on with my moto

[inferno1414]

hey, i got an F22A6
just replaced rotor, cap, and got a new wireset.
ok.... now when i hit 3000 rpms....like right when it gets to 3 grand... it gets a lot of extra power... and it picks up a lot better. My exhaust gets a lot better sounding too. More mean and deap. Whats going on with my motor?
I do have a dual stage intake manifold... would that cause it?
It almost sounds like vtec... but i definately dont have vtec. any ideas?

[inferno1414]

anyone have any, ideas. come on help me out.

is it really weak below 3k? could just be the IM kicking in? i dunno.

[breeziebabyyy]

I have that exact engine.. atleast your starts lol. I really do not know, i've never heard of that problem until now. good luck and keep me posted on what it is or could be

Is it weak on the lower rpms?

Is it just in your head?

Your engine was probably total weak before the tune-up.

[deevergote]

the IABs open at higher RPMs, not sure where (4k?) That wouldn't be like vtec, though. It's been compared to it, but it doesn't really kick in.

How's your ignition timing?

[inferno1414]

well, its not REALLY weak before 3 k, its just that the power it gains at and above 3k is crazy. It does sound like a single OHC vtec motor though. its pretty neat, i just want to know what is causing it. and no, it wasnt weak before that. Its got some balls, not a lot, but its mean. I replaced my rotor, cap, plugs, and wireset, because when my car idles (at cold start and when it's warm) it sounds like the engine is missing a lot. i dont know how to explain it any better then ---- when i listen to my exhaust it sounds normal, then it jumps (not higher or lower rpms) it just sounds like the engine is missing. My timing is dead on... its advanced 15 degrees. I tried putting it back down, but that didnt help at all (and yes i know how to use the service connector on the passenger side behind the kick panel. ive tried everything.

I think it could be that the head is fucked up.... but my compression tests yield 170 psi throughout the board... 1 2 3 and 4.

2-3 K (rpms) sputters a lot, or misses, whatever its called. it gets really bad if i hold in the clutch and give her gas to 2500 rpms. not extremely bad.... but it sounds like SHIT. once it gets past 3 K, it doesnt miss at all. period. Anything lower then 3k though. it sounds like shit.

My ecu is giving me an ELD or electronic Load Detector code...
if someone knows wtf is going on with my ELD or how to fix it or can help me.... please PM me if its a serious matter.

im also getting one other fault code - the intake air temperature sensor.
idk how important this is or if it could be effecting my car negatively.

those are the only 2 codes that i have.

i know exhaust is important and if theres a hole in your exhaust it can fuck up your shit...... just for example, i put on a spoon resonator.... and didnt tighten the o2 sensor screw in (not the sensor...just the screw) and it fell out as i was pulling out of my driveway, i took it for a drive and it fucking sucked. bogged and shit, but i put the screw back in, and it had that much more balls.
also, my whole exhaust is 2 1/4 all the way back until i have 3 feet left to the muffler, it drops down to 1 3/4, i dont know exactly how bad that is, but should i get that taken care of ASAP?

Im asking a lot, but ive put a lot into this car, and im trying to get the kinks out.

anyway. please everyone keep this thread going and help a cb7 owner out.

That sputter means that hows your timing? Are the firing order correct?

ELD I think your engine bay fuse box is fucked.
