any ideas? - Honda Prelude Forum

When I am not at WOT I can rev all the way up and have lots of power. When I go to WOT it feels like I hit a brick wall at about 6k. There are no CEL's and also my Tach jumps around after 5k, but speedo is perfect, and when in neutral the tach works perfectly. Oil is good, everything is good. Did a leakdown and comp. test and it was 210 on every cylinder. Also sometimes it feels like there is no power and it hesitates below vtec, but once vtec engages it pulls nicely. Any ideas on this?

Do you think it could be related to the distributor or ignition system? You said in another thread that you're starting to see red dust by the dist. cap, but you're not throwin codes or hearing anything... well, could your car just be telling you in another way?

Well I thought that also, but I put a Brand new I mean fresh from honda distribitor on there and still the same thing. So that ruled that out.
