93 civic loss of power
My trusty car (210,000) miles, and has never been in the shop, died
while I was driving on the freeway the other day. I had it towed, I told the mechanic I thought it was the distbutor. It turns out it was. He turned out to be a real crappy mechanic. He left one bolt off of my distrbutor, and the other 2 were so loose I could giggle the distrbutor in my hand. I fixed this by tightining the bolts, and adding one that was missing. Ever since this awefule mechanic did this my car has lost tons of power!! It used to be a zippy fun to drive car, now it just sucks, I press the gas and literaly nothing happens for a second or two. If I have the air conditioner on, the symptoms are even worse. my questions are 1) What are some possiable normal causes of such a drastic loss of power? 2) Could this be realted to the crappy mechanic's install of my distrbutor? 3) any ideas on fixes? I thought it might be a clogged fuel filter, I am in the process of changing that out now, as soon as I figure out how to get the bolt holding the filter to the firewall off without loosing my knuckles. :) Any ideas would be great, I love this little car, I would hate to get rid of it. I have had it since it was new, even through several new cars I always hung on to this car. |
