Re: keep losing

Well when I got my first third gen with a 5 speed if I was racing and shifted into third before 4500rpm then it seemed like it was dead, but if you shift right at or just after 4500 then you'll chirp the tires and keep going. If that doesn't work then you need to check your timing and make sure your right on point. Also, you might want to invest in a 50000v coil, that'll help too. New plugs and wires are a plus and a new air filter. If that doesn't fix it then it's probably a compression problem. Since the engine doens't have to work as hard in the lower gears then you might not notice it as much as the higher gears. Get a compression checker and check all the cylinders.
