What model of crx and what motor do you have? Also are you running dpfi or mpfi? What upgrades do you have?

[thatwhitecrx]

its a dx stock motor just an intake upgrade

[4G4D Store]

Hmm, did you replace the parts after you noticed the power loss, or before, then notice after it you replaced them? I can't really think of how any of those would affect power loss.

[thatwhitecrx]

i noticed it before i had the parts changed.

how's everything else? smoke? oil lose? weird noises?

Does anybody know when the second (backup) injector is supposed to kick in - I'm wondering if it may not be kicking in, then again, that would throw a CEL. It's tough to say - I'd start with these things (if you've done them already, just disregard that item): Spark Plugs, Plug Wires, Distributor Cap & Rotor, fuel filter, run injector cleaner through the car, oil change, check your timing w/ timing light, make sure your ground wires from the engine to the chassis are good and secure. That's all I can think of right now.

any answers to the questions?

He also said he replaced the timing belt. He may want to doublecheck the timing.

theres smoke every once in a while oil has always been burning quick as for weird noises um yeah theres a clinging/ rattlely noise but i cant tell where. sounds like the exhaust that happens when its warmed up.

You might want to check your Distributor Rotor...i had the same problem when i first bought my car, and it ended up being a lose Rotor.

[viper-blue]

sounds like a valve

Maybe you can to check again the plug wire connection... My brother had the same problem, it turns out it was just a loss connection in his GM Spark plug wires.Better check out ASAP..

If you got the advance auto, napa, auto zone crap wires take them back and spend like $5 more and go the the honda ones. I've always noticed that if you rund the cap, rotor, wires, with OEM the engine runs so much better than any aftermarket crap. Also, are your plugs shot? Are you running platnum? if you are with stock ignition you are killing your ignition because it was never ment to have to put out that type of juice to get the plat to spark. You are better off changing your plugs more often with stock ones than going plat and changing once every 100k (If your car was never ment to run plat)
