I have a 2000 DX Sedan, 4 cyl 5spd
So i recently had my F23A5 crap out on me. So my mechanic said he could put in an A1 in cause he could get it for the same price as the A5 (Its was an Engine shipped from Japan). So i figured why not. He got it in, so I went to pick it up and the install looked clean and she started up just fine. I drove it home without noticing any problems, obviously i took it slow and didnt rev it over 3,000. After a week or so I couldnt take it anymore so i pushed it up to about 4,000 and noticed it seemed to start lagging and losing power. So I pushed the pedal farther and the revs climbed slower and slower, mean while the power was decreasing. When I got home I left it in neutral and tried reving it up, it reved up fine till it hit 5,000 and would drop back down.
I took back to him and he said he would make sure he got it right this time, but he's having some trouble figuring out whats wrong. He first thought it was the distrubitor module so he bought a new one and installed it, but it didnt fix the problem. Then he thought it might be the cat so he checked it and nothing seemed wrong.
Sorry for the long post, but any help would be much appreicated.
