Hey, guys. I recently bought my beloved 92 Sentra SE-R, and I've (very) recently discovered that I have substantially less power than another SE-R of the same year.
I have no clue what the heck could be wrong with my car. I recently had the mass air flow sensor cleaned out and also had one of the O2 sensors changed which fixed many idling problems. I have new plugs, but not plug wires. I'm thinking either my clutch is slipping a little bit, or there's something wrong with my fuel injectors. I just put some slick 50 fuel system cleaner in my gas tank, but didn't notice any difference in power.
So I guess my questions are:
1. What do you guys see that could be wrong with my car to cause such a drastic loss in power?
2. How can I check the clutch and fuel injectors for problems?
[edit]
Oops forgot to mention I did a compression test and these were the results:
Cylinder 1, Cylinder 2, Cylinder 3, Cylinder 4, respectively.
Dry Test: 160, 155, 160, 165
Wet Test: 170, 160, 175, 185
I did some searching and found out that it should be around 180; could this be my problem?
[/edit]
Now to go back and do some more searching...
Thankyou all!
