Here is the issue:
In fifth gear, if you push the pedal to the floor it has no power. Previously, if you did that it would up and walk away from anyone on the highway. Not throw you back in the seat or anything, but more than enough power to pass a semi, or walk away from a honda. But, now, nothing. It takes literally probably a minute to get to seventy from sixty without down shifting.

If I do the third gear boost test, i get 7/6/7 psi. I have no pills, so I think this is to be expected. But, it does not have the power that it used to. I am lost as to how the boost could still work, but not have the acceleration.

My mods are downpipe and hi flow cat, no pills. Stock cat back. The cat is a bonez and is brand new.

The other symptom is the idle drops to almost nothing when you put it in gear. Any gear. I just changed the first/second switch thinking that was the problem, no luck. This happened at the same time as the power loss.

 

help!

 

Why dont you have the pills? To my understanding if you have no pill you have no boost or your limited only to 7psi which seems to be your problem.

 

The pills are not my problem. Yes, I realize that not having the pills will limit my boost to 7 psi. But, it ran strong this way for a long time until just recently.
I am going to replace the pills or add a boost controller, but I want to fix this problem first.

 

Ok scratch the idle issue. I figured that one out. Bad clutch switch. Even though it looked like it was working, it wasn't.
Still have the power loss. It boosts right away, but takes longer than it should to accelerate to speed.
