I have a 1996 Acura Integra GSR (VTEC), manual transmission with 80k miles that I recently purchased. When I run the car at highway speed for a while and then pull off it idels fine, but loses significant performance when I try to go forward. It feels like I am in the wrong gear or like I am dragging a huge load behind me. It will accelerate, but very slowly even in first gear. After it cools off, it runs fine again.
I have checked the plugs and they are light gray, compression is 200-210 psi across the board. Fule filter is OK. I checked the timing belt and it has all of its teeth and is timed right. I adjusted the valves due to a lot of noise, but it didn't make any difference.
Engine is using about 1qt of oil per 1000miles and is only getting about 20mpg (I drive it hard).
I tried to check the fuel pressure, but it doesn't have a fitting to attach to.
It has an aftermarket intake. I couldn't find a PCV valve anywhere. There is a line hooked directly from the intake to the valve cover without a valve in it.
Help!
