    Exclamation **urgent** b16a2 engine problem

    hi mates,

    i normally wouldn't start a question thread without doing enuf researches before hand
    but this time it's pretty urgent coz the potential of a faulty engine is good
    when i drove home ytd, i found out when i accelerate in the range of 2000-3500rpm
    there're some barely noticeable choking as if there's some rhythmic slipping in the clutch
    anyway, feeling of power got dragged away like the AC is on...
    but i m 100% sure that the whole clutch mechanic is fine
    the feeling was like the engine was running at 3 cylinders
    i got this feeling from the rhythmic choking...
    i was so scared that did a quite nonsense test; floor throttled for a few times trying to "smooth out" the engine
    well it worked and the problem is gone

    wt're the symptoms showing?
    a bad ignition system? leaking seals? or even worse?
    any suggestions will be appreciated

    cheers, derek

    From the way you described it (a little vague) it could be a range of things... I had a similar problem and then I lost compression in cylinder 2... not saying that's whats wrong but just check over your car to save you headaches in the future. If you haven't serviced your car, do so. Give it a comp test, check the ignition system and fuel supply, check ecu for codes, it could even be bad fuel or low fuel... If IEVAQ8 if offering help I would take it, he knows his stuff judging from what I've seen on the forums. Otherwise there are plenty of articles in the DIY section that you could follow to determine what the issue is.

    im speechless ...^^^^thanks REP point for u

    i met up with derek last night and said to him, i believe it is sparkplugs.....
    he came ova today and i changed them for him and its brand new again,
    looks like he washed his engine bay, and water went down the spark plug tube, and was arching out, plus the plugs look like they havnt been changed in a while....
