Feeling a loss of power with my baby. 2nd thru 5th gear will rev up to 4500 rpm and still sluggish to get up to speed. im at 95 k and recently added an intake and y-pipe, could this be the cat converter or clutch?

 

without more explanation...about 50 things this could be

 

im gonna go ahead and say the common .org answer and say maf.

 

My friend had this problem with his 95. I think it was a MAF issue.

 

just be like jeremy clarkson and scream...

"POWER!!!!!!"

and your car will go faster

 

the MAF is a good idea to replace anyway right if its old? Since I've read they can go bad or cause a performance loss without actually throwing a code. Mine was replaced at 59k now I'm at 115k...prob. wouldnt be a bad idea

 

had the maf replaced about 10,000 miles ago. guess i'll be ordering another one. when i did the intake install it looked fine---no noticeable damage.

 

its usually not physical damage, but the oils that destory the sensors inside....if i remember correctly

try a CRC MAF Cleaner first $5 beats $100 if it works

 

Redemption came today. picked my baby up from the shop. found out i did have an exhaust leak at the midpipe. so my cousin dropped me off at the shop in his 03 max. on the way back he opened up and pulled off. i downshifted from 4th and began to catch up. i hit 4th and caught him. in 5th i pulled off three car lengths. at 120 he couldnt gain on me. went one more time with same results. Finally!

 

probably the heavy wheels

 

I was going to recommend an S/C...

MAF, IACV....

 

a leak will do that much, eh?

btw, your cuz can't drive.

 

aren't u 6th gen?

 

yeah, but he really wants to be a 5th gen because we have mad tyte JDM style, yo!

 

Not really...my driving ends up focusing on my 2006 (red) iPod nano instead of my 2002 4AT.

 

Can't really see you reeling him in and putting car lengths on him because of this:

so your car is better and you can break the law by road racing....then violate forum rules by posting about it.

 

shouldn't you be thinking in metric? it was 120 km/h
