Well, It's been a long bumpy ride guys. But after much trial and error I finally got the power back. I have an 88 Lx Convert and ever since I bought it almost a year ago I have been struggling with poor gas mileage and no acceleration or low end power (I know she is a 4 banger but it should still move a little). Any way I did just about everything you could imagine with no success. Well a couple of weeks ago I got the power restored. Though I'm not real sure which of the 3 sensors I replace was the winner but one of them fixed it. I replaced the Speed Sensor on the Tranny, The coolant temp sensor on the intake, and the Knock sensor on the intake. Which ever one it was she drives like a different car. Now if I could solve the poor gas mileage I'll be set.

Thanks!
