Thats right....i guess ive never had it in 4th.... all other gears work perfect....

i did notice before..but didnt pay attention. hardly pass 90mph

here is how it goes.....when i floor it....i have it in all gears except 4th...

around 85-90 (wot) i lose it and its slow to accelerate... it struggles to reach 4k

i have no CELs.... no tranny slippage (tranny cooler) or any sign of damage to tranny
there is suffcient oil....

so in a nut shell...it stays under 4k in 4th and it tops out at about 105

2.2 auto w/v2

wilp99

its a 2.2... i think they top totally out at like 120mph.

jandj2204

dont sleep on the 2.2's we're outt ..lol

Shaggz2Dope

thanks guys but not much help

the pic is blurry...whats that 138.....

jandj2204

it went a little over 140 then i let off..Do you shift it manually to every gear or leave it in d3?...you can get a nice jump top end if you leave it in D4up to 70 then shift down to 3rd and floor it..then when you redline shift it 2 D4 and floor it again your Vtec should be engaged and you should pull up to 130-140 at about 5500-6krpm's..

You went that fast without your seatbelt?? ...That is the seat belt light on right?

jandj2204

oops

Shaggz2Dope

sometimes i leave it in d3 then shift to 4th round 70 same effect

or just leave it in d4...but when it shifts to 4th it vtec cuts off at 80-90 it gets sluggish

will try what you said tonight.....

Shaggz2Dope

if you leave it in d4 does vtec cut out around 90?

mine does and then it takes forever to reach 100

jandj2204

no vtec is what probably enables it to reach those speeds..vtec ranges from about 4k-65,7k.

Shaggz2Dope

yeah thought so...but what is causing this?

this is why i need help

wilp99

maybee a fuel flow problem.. fuel filter, pump. or clogged injector.

Shaggz2Dope

you know what...it might be the fuel filter.....

one more thing...my car would feel sluggish between 0-20mph but after it would pull like normal...

i started riding it harder...(30+)...giving it more gas and it started clearing it up...

now the low end power has returned to me.....fuel injectors might need cleaning

i will buy a fuel filter today after the spurs game....

DivineCL

Get rid of the trailer you've been towing and i'm sure you'll be fine.

wilp99

our cars arent that slow considdering they weigh close to 4000lbs. i bet if they shed like 700-800lbs. theyd be almost rediculous fast. maybee 14 sec cars (3.0's) 17 seconds (2.x's). just kidding... thatd be dope

Shaggz2Dope

i like my car eventhough its slow....

infinity times better than my 93 saturn sc1.....


starts to remove anything and every thing from the car............

wait nevermind...i got a 2.2

wilp99

my neighbor hasa 4 door saturn stick and swears he beat a 95 impalla...that would be the one with the lt1.

Shaggz2Dope

2 door coupe...black and causing my probs. near the end....i got stranded everywhere
probs...-starter..then the alt wires....broken odometer....then broken gas gauge...

cost me lotsa $

imagine how i felt when i got the cl.....for the first couple weeks it felt like i was just borrowing it....

by the way in the saturn...I could have beat any car....that was parked.....

ajtcl

All SATURNs must burn! Die mother fuckers die... hate those plastic peices of shit... The Mistress eats all Saturns for breakfast, lunch and din din.

ajtcl

Oh yeah, that is one bad ass pic, no belt. whhheeeeehhhhhhhhh!

Like it would even matter at those speeds?

Shaggz2Dope

yeah i know....but my dad and his wife luv the sats....

they had the sc1..some ls shit...some other one and the 'vue'

ghey....

ajtcl

I almost bought a scion... Man those are funny looking, but the aftermarket support is outragious. I love my CL, just not enough support for body mods. I do like the WW lips.

Shaggz2Dope

scions....

id rather pay for my car rather than drive a free scion....

wilp99

those scion's arent too slow.... i raced one and i actually had to work to catch him. i sat at the light cause i didnt know we were racing. but when i started to go he took off, starting bout 4 cars ahead of me... well 4 cars..and i cought him and passed him. well maybee they arent that fast come to think of it.

ajtcl

I'm glad I bought the CL.

wakeboardfusion

maybe your engane is just too small so u dont notice vtec

Motohip

How would you even know if VTEC isn't activated? Especially in 4th gear, the overdrive gear that's really tall. It's like driving a stick in 5th. You're not going anywhere in 5th.

I thought the 3.0's weighed in at about 3200 lbs and the 4 bangers at around 3100....

h2o-pr00f

scions are slow as shit.. when the TC gets the TRD turbo kit from the dealer thats when itll be time to start racing em.. some guy reved on me with an xA.. i just laughed as he blew by with his carolla engine... garbage

jandj2204

Yea thats it..unless i read the specs wrong...i want a cl w/ the entire body made of carbon fiber and sanded and painted so noone knows..then ill be weighin in around 2200 or so and smoking people w/a 400whp FI H22A(in my fuckin dreams)

Motohip

Like that Altezza. That car was so hot!
