B18c-r struggling occasionally only at low rpms
B18c-r struggling occasionally only at low rpms
hi, over the past few days, whenever i press the accelerator slightly more when im on a higher gear and low rpms, my engine struggles and is sluggish, not wanting to move and after about 3 or 4 seconds suddenly kicks in and is fine. usually around 2-3k rpm is sluggish. ive read some other posts but the thing is mine is only OCCASIONALLY and sometimes its fine.
also i found out yesterday that one of my gaskets along my exhaust was leaking and replaced that. the sluggishness seemed to be better after that but then it happened again once or twice much later during the day.
one more thing, i recently went for a dyno tune, except that during that time, my gasket might have already been leaking and maybe the proper readings werent being sent to the air/fuel sensor which they plug into the exhaust. does this mean after i replaced the gasket i now have to go for a re-tune and that the settings now are not matching my engine as it should?
thanks.

Idle air control clogged up ? or crank sensor when its raining if wires are showing it might short out and come back in at high rpms just guessing tho even fuel pump could be the problem but i dont see it clearin back up at high rpms lol

have been a few months already on this one too - old thread. I gues there were not many replies because this have nothing to do with swaps and forced inductions either.

some of the old ones is OK to bump, since they are funny or similar, but this one is more serious, so not worth bringing back up after so long time passed
