im thinking its either the rings or the valves but im not sure, my car loses alot of power on any hill i drive on (incline). I have a computer program that will diagnose the problem and the programs diagnosis was because my car has high mileage(168K and some change), it could possibly be worn rings or worn valves. Another possibility it stated was that the cat could be clogged or broken in which case i would need to replace it, so i went ahead and ordered and JDM hi flow cat from japan which should be here within the week. Ive had this "power loss" problem since i bought the car about 6 months ago give or take. Since then ive replaced the plugs(NGK, whoever owned it b4 had CHAMPION plugs in it lol lol), wires, dist. cap and rotor, new fuel filter, messed with timing, thoroughly cleaned the TB, i use only 93 octane all the time, i used gallons of fuel injector cleaner and all those other 'horsepower adders that burn hotter' . the car runs alot better than it did, but still boggs down drastically when i am going uphill.
