My cousin has been having problems with her CRX VTi (B16A2). It drives absolutely great until it warms up (10 or so minutes into a journey).
The problem is most problematic when accelerating from low revs, eg from a standstill or a slow speed approach to a roundabout etc.
If you feather the throttle and put hardly any load on the engine, you can avoid the problem. However anything above 10% throttle and it actually slows the car. Pulling away from idle it's quite easy to stall, which is followed by a pop from the exhaust.
The ABS light never goes off, although I assume that's an unrelated issue. The car has probably not seen VTEC in 5 years as she is not exactly a girl racer. I did attempt to VTEC it, but I'm not entirely sure its working.
Here's a quick video I captured tonight of the problem. Any help or advice would be very welcome, thanks!
