Got my new wires in, no improvement as expected, on the phone trying to schedule a compression test for tomorrow.


Getting tired of pushing the pedal down, even the whole way to the floor, and watching my speedo just sit there, or even drop. It's like I was at my aero max speed, but then I see the Corolla passing me, and...yeah.

Yup. I get that 4th, 5th, and 6th between ~3k and ~4.5k. 5k+ picks up a bunch, and 1st through 3rd have enough gearing to overcome it, but yeah, under 5k my power is simply gone.

I've considered video'ing it, but there isn't an easy way to accomplish that, and all people will say is "get a compression test".

Check the MAF.

IF it was load based, I would say check the cat (if you have one), but when I did my first coil change, and accidentally left the MAF disconnected, it simply wouldn't rev over 4k, stumbling and stuttering like crazy. Under load or in neutral.

My new engine will be catless, so I don't lose another engine through cat failure.

If someone complains about the environment, I'll point at BP.

Gotcha. Don't know much about 7s


Does it rev freely below 4k, and it just pegs to a stop at 4k?
Does it stumble it's way as it revs, and finally just stumbles too much to continue?
Does it stay stable the whole way to 4k, just the rev increase gets slower and slower and slower?
