alrighty..

while ago I had a problem with the car stalling when it got warm (it went away after I made that thread, lol)..

but on my way to get the car washed for storage, I stopped somewhere and when I came back out and went to leave it was bogging in each gear REALLY bad..

any time I tried to give it some gas the whole car shook.

once you take off and give it some gas it bogs for 5+ seconds and then finally takes off.. stalled once at a light..

I'm still thinking its fuel (like the first thread)..



someone told me it could be a broken valve spring from over revving??.. (ripped it in a few gears)


BTW, no engine light is on

 

if you broke a valve spring you would've dropped a valve. If you dropped a valve you would know it.

Did you wash under the hood by any chance?
I've seen a few people wash under the hood and the car runs funny for a while afterwards, then once everything dries, it goes away.

Holy kracker, your post count is crazy....lol.

 

possibly main relay??
i a similar problem, after driving for a while, if i shut the motor off it would not start, got to wait a bit and then for a bit it runs like crap. got that at honda dealer for 100$ or so.

 

For sure.......Dropping a valve is no fun.
And you would definetly know....Done it twice before.
I know this happend to my buddy when he got his alternator wet.

 

nope, never washed it..

last time it was drove was at the last westend meet.

 

When was the last time you did:

tuneup?
fuel filter?

 

try removing your front O2 sensor and see if it gets better. clogged cat would do that.

 

tune up was done I think 2 winters ago.. (about 4500km)

MSD wires
MSD power cap
MSD rotor
MSD blaster ss coil
NGK plugs

fuel filter was done last winter and has maybe.. 1500km on it?

 

Pull the plugs and make sure they are clean and gapped...I had a similar problem with my old car.

 

What weak *** answers...

Mark, like I said in your last thread. You need to test fuel and spark when the car is acting up. That or.. just take a guess and change parts.

Honestly, those are your only two options, the rest of the 'answers' are going to be stupid.. just like the guy who asked about your fuel filter. Like honestly? LOL I wonder if the next reply is going to be "check your pcv"

Could be anything from an inoperative fuel pump, sticking injector, igniter or dist. sensor going south.. it's hard to say. you HAVE to test it when its happening. Try spraying water on the engine and see if it happens again.

 

Thanx for the help guys..

I have 6 months to figure it out.. lol


but on a side note, can anyone tell me if the main relay from a 88-89 accord wagon is the same as my delsol??..

(getting a free car, just wonder if any parts I should keep)

 

There should be a part # on them.

I doubt they are, but who knows. Take a look at them.
