You probably didn't get all the RTV out of the VTEC solenoid. Or maybe you're just running the butthurt/fuel level way too high.

But seriously, flamidation valve, check it.

How do you know what driving on 4 flats feels like, anyway?

it was probably all the toes you ran over as you backed into that spot all quick-like, almost taking out spilner's eclipse and making it blow up-and yes, I was standing there/one of the said characters you almost ran over :) btw, how do 13 year-olds get cigs to smoke?

If it had anything to do with the wheels/tires/suspension and probably the axles, you would feel it in the steering wheel.

It almost sounds like your balance shafts aren't aligned correctly.

my balance shafts are gone

Something probably bent/broke when you fucked up the wheel and tire when you hit that pot hole. I would check the camshaft alignment.

Your car is probably going to run that way, until you return the spare wheel you borrowed from that dude on here.

No because everything was perfect with the car until Saturday night

Well what changed between Saturday night and Sunday night?

Did you turn your hat from straight to sideways when you noticed this change in driving?

Yet you were pretty quick to get in your car and leave when he tried to approach you at the dyno day?

As to the problem with the car... the gas tank bolts might not be tight enough.

Then make sure your timing marks are correct.

lol, and my comments aren't welcome.

Are all the tires feeling flat or just the front or back?

Check your tire pressure.

Twitch 05-17-2010 10:49 AM

Re: Wierd feeling when on gas
 
tire pressure is fine and it feels like the fronts. I nvr knew he was even at dyno day

Can you maybe post up some info on the car? And a better description of the symptoms would help. It's hard to help anyone when it's this vague.

So it only does this when you are accelerating? So under normal cruising throttle it's fine? What does it even feel like if you can't feel it in the steering wheel, because a flat tire usually you can feel something in the steering wheel like pulling to one side or something. Is the car just bouncy or something?

First thing I'd do is get the wheels checked again, especially if you hit a pothole.

If it's AWD it might be a carrier bearing issue.

And I was also there when you raced into that parking spot like Whoa!
