like sh.it !!!!!!

its been hot lately and i noticed my vic is running badly. i think i need new sparks. i dont think 90 degrees is hot enough to make my civic so much slower. is there anything else that might be wrong or is the list to broad?

warmer air causes a HP loss on it's own (pretty minor tho). this is probably compounded by your A/C's power drain. Speaking of which, has anyone dynoed w/ A/C on/off?

You will definately be able to tell a difference between a very hot and humid day when compared to a cooler and dryer day.

Also, the ac does drain some power but not all that much. If you've driven hondas in the past, you would know that it used to be a lot, and I mean a lot, worse than on the newer models.

Oh, and you have nitrous right? Could you be beginning to notice the ill effects of long-term spraying....I don't know, it's probably just the temp.
