car sounds unusual
i have a jdm h22a in my prelude and i was driving today and my car is usually loud but it was unbelievably quiet... like i would drive and at about 3k rpm in 2nd gear itd make a pst sound and get quiet and stay quiet throughout all the gears... and when i got on it it wuldnt engage into vtec itd just get up to 5k rpm and blog. cant think of the word but it wont go past 5k rpm or get into vtec.

Re: car sounds unusual
i drove it yesterday and the car choked at 60mph and blew out black smoke from the exhaust for like a split second and i drove it today and the car seems fine but still unusually quiet.
i did an oil change over the weekend and added bg oil treatment it said reduce engine noise but i dont think that could be it
i checked the intake and exhaust for clogs and checks out clean is there anything else

Re: car sounds unusual
Almost sounds like it's running really rich, might have a sensor failure or a vacuum leak. It could be a lot of things if it's a swapped engine. Strange that you're getting a 5kRPM rev limit without a CEL though. Between that and the VTEC problem, it sounds like it's in limp home mode.
