Hey guys, I was wonder what the problem could be if my engine is making very little power after 4000 rpm? What would it take to fix the problem and what is the price range? Thank so much guys.

it could be a combination of numerous things, but i'd bet your injectors are leaking (secondary), get them sent out to get cleaned, also clean your grouds and make new ones if needed for good measure. I know there is a wonderful write up on how to make new grounds in the archive.

All three are right, make sure they are comming on, if not try to find out WHY, grounds can be the problem, bad ECU can be the problem, messed up harness, etc...

hey, do you enjoy telling people who just joined the site to search? He's new, how hard would it have been to just answer the question. If you didn't know the answer, then just don't post. I don't care how many times you've seen this thread littering the 2nd gen area, telling someone to search without giving them an answer is just mean. it's like saying "I had the time to post, just didn't want to help you by doing so" you wasted your time, and his.
