IStripForHugs Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 ive been in south carolina since i got my car last march, and ive been having trouble with it lately, im on leave so ive come back home to pennsylvania and my car now seems to run pretty harshly, it feels like i have to push it to do 80, it smokes occasionally, and it feels like its lost power, i was wondering if anyone had any advice or knowledge about whats going on here, any help is greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 might of killed a set of rings or maybe a head gasket. does it burn alot of oil? over heat alot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IStripForHugs Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 no, it doesnt even get close to over heating, it doesnt smoke all of the time, just occasionally, like when i was coming home itd start smoking around vtec sometimes and the other day it just started smoking randomly at a red light, and every once in a while itll just smoke randomly it seems, its not like thick heavy smoke or anything but its not normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 valve seals, or rings thats my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 mileage seems awful low for the engine to be wore out. unless he beats it. might need a timing belt and tuneup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IStripForHugs Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 i dont beat it, ive taken it to the track once, do you think a new timing belt would fix that? the timing belt does wobble a little like its getting worn, but i didnt think it would hurt it that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
