b16 with hesitation
I did a b16 swap and started sputtering and hesitating. I changed plugs, wires, fuel filter, cap and rotor. No sputtering now but hesitates when driving. I step on it and feels like it lacks power. No cel light. Please help?

My timing belt
Hmmm. Well I have a b18b1 swap, and my car ran bad and it almost lagged when you hit the throttle (Would like go down about 100 RPMs for half a sec then rev up). Turns out my timing belt was off by 2 notches. Its rare that this could be your problem but just maybe?

My thinking is timing. I had a similar issue with my D16Z engine and once I took it in to fix the timing the car was much better afterwards. Honda tech said my timing was off my 8 degrees or so.

i had same issue on the freeway, were it hesitated and then stalled. I tapped the fuel lines leading in and out of the fuel filter and ran smoothly.
It's about that time for my timing belt on my b16A, 79K miles.
