its the engine knocking/misfiring when this loss of power happens??
The engine is running fine when the power drops, it just runs as though its a really high reving d15.
The fuel filter is brand new.
Airfilter has been cleaned
The thing about the main relay is that its inside the cabin... how would engine bay temps affect it??? although I do usually have my heater on full blast on my feet.
I will take it for a run tonight and see what happens.
Thanks for the help guys its much appriciated!
if the engines running fine why would it be a leanout? wouldn't you expect the engine to be knocking/misfiring? and if its cutting totally it would be like hitting the limiter?
if your clutch is starting to go it can seem fine when you are driving normally but when its hot its friction coefficient will go down and you will lose clutch grip causing some degree of slippage... which can happen if you've just had a hard run
how's your oil?
oils brand new motual.
Its just the thrust bearing thats going, the clutch itself seems fine, it still has plenty of grip... This is more of a bogging down feeling than clutch slipping.
The engine is only inches away from the main relay - underneath the dash acts like a heat sink and abosrbs the heat thru the firewall etc . . . it is a common problem for some hondas for the main relay to be very faulty over time if excess heat comes into play ( you hoonign abit).Quote:

Ok, I replaced the relay with a much newer one... will give the car a push today and see how it goes!

Just went for another heavey run (engine wise) and while it ran ok when reving hard, it lacked luster down low again. It also struggled/flat spots a bit when at WOT. Any ideas?
I have a constant bogging problem. it would drive fine but then lets say i am on 5th gear doing 60km @ 2000rpm it would run alright then bog then come back again. but when i rev it up a bit more it seems to go away. very intermittent. i'd say it would be the bearing in my dizzy. i've changed my dizzy cap + rotor button [btw my rotor button previously melted.. how i don't know and i was freakin out for a week.] now the car is alright but yeh after a hard run it seems to bog. check in the dizzy .. if u've got a lot of orange dust around that area it could be ur bearing. if let's say the bearing is worn .. particles of dust will slowly chip away from the bearing and then oxidises[rusts] and results in orange powder..
i'm probably gonna get a whole new dizzy..
btw i drive an 88 CRX d16a8..
check your timing?
too far advanced can lead to these symptoms
timing has been adjusted, tappets done too.
Its a subtle problem thats totally intermitant, this is whats weird. Think beyond obvious coz I've already spent a small fortune trying to solve it...
