fuel related issue.....i think

[BadgerType]

I have had this issue that has progressively gotten worse. It started out as once every 50 miles, now it’s every day.

As I accelerate, the car seems to be getting flooded for several revolutions and then will correct itself. It happens almost everytime I floor it and is really bad in vtec. It’s almost like one cylinder goes down and causes the issue and loss of power.

Ruled out, but will look at them closer tomorrow: cap/rotor (since it’s not consistent enough), bad o2 sensor (I run an open loop that ignores all o2 sensors), fuel pump (doesn’t happen at all at idle), fuel injectors (could be leaking but I can’t really test for that)

Any help would be nice

Maybe your stock FPR has gone whack?

checked plugs and boots?

^ True. If the wires or plugs are bad, the spark may be getting cut out especially under load and that particular cylinder will bog, car will bog in general.

Your plug might be soaked and can't generate appropriate spark I'd check that if you haven't but also I check to see if there is any pressure in the fuel line

possible, will swap on another one to be sure next weekend

wires are fine, old but fine

but it would be more consistent. i can go past redline in first gear with no breakup, 2nd and beyond, it breaks up.

i am running a bit rich, but until i get an ostrich cable, then i cant really fiddle with my fuel to see if leaning it up through out the curve would help

well i had a similar issue just wasnt constant enough it would just bog down. well i changed the spark plugs and hasnt happened since...might want to look into it...

i was thinking fpr. there isnt much else to the fuel system.

 

[BadgerType]

spark plugs are ok

wires are still good



fpr and cap/rotor are the next to be changed

could be something in the distributor. I've been having the same intermittent break up issue with mine and thats the only thing else I can come up with for mine. so if all else fails buy/barrow a working distributor and try that.
