my car kicks ass when its dead cold but when i get to drivin it and the temp gauge is about 1/2 way the car boggs down/ hesitates in second gear and a little in 3. 1st gear has no balls to it. WHAT DO I DO? AHHHHHHHHHHH IT MAKES ME SO MAD!

any help would be great thanks.



btw also how do i bump up the timing to about 18 or so? and what grade gas should i use?

i use 91/94 depending on how im feeling at the time and i would get ur car tuned up and dont kick the shit out of it when its cold sooo much wear at that time soooo bad for the moter treat ur sr20 with care and it will lost a good long time

Have you had any exhaust work done? I bet your muffler's clogged or needs replacement--or at least some part of your exhaust system.

get a tune up!

Disconnect your EGR first and see what happens. Just take the tube from the AIV to EGR tube off.

It kicks ass when its cold, because your ecu is running open loop, it's dumping fuel in there, as your car warms up the loop closes, has a bunch to do with your o2 as well.

But yeah, when was your last tune up? plugs etc?

timing, get a timing light and rotate the distributor.

Oh yeah and do what Pretty White says too! Thats a known factor there also, I forget, I don't have that stuff anymore.

Forgive the noobish question, but what does this do? Is this a performance enhancer that I am not aware of? :)

Thanks,

No the egr tend to clog up causing problems, by disconnecting it you can find out for sure.

Go to se-r.net and check the FAQ or search here, it will answer alot of questions.
