I have a 98 Accord 2.3 nonVtec, automatic, ran pretty well, then head gasket blew. So far I have replaced the head gasket, new valves and seal, head trued up. New coil, plugs, plug wires, cap and button. Module was replaced, but changed back because no difference. Now car starts great, idles good, maybe alittle slow but consistant. It has absolutely no power, it sputters if you hold the brake and raise rpms to 1600. Acts like it is running out of fuel. If you try and drive it, not even enough power to go up slight incline. I have cleaned the EGR valve and made sure it was operating, checked resistance on the injectors and they seem ok. It just seems to me like a lack of fuel problem. I have also checked for any vacuum leaks and haven't found any yet. I replaced most all the lines while doing the head gasket. I also thought about the TPS, I'm not sure how to test this, so I unhooked it and no change, hooked it back up and cleared the code, this was the only code that been set since the head gasket change. I'm going to check fuel pressure tomorrow, but would like to hear any other ideas you may have. This one is driving me crazy. Is it possible I could have hooked a vacuum line in the wrong place and this would cause me these problems? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
