i just put a newer ka-e in my 90 s13 we got everything working and the car running good but it is horribly slow. this is the second one ive owned and thier is somthing wrong with this one. it like after partial throttle it doesnt matter, it feels like i am only throtling it a quarter to the floor. it has new dist. dist cap plugs and wires. some of the hoses might not be in the right spot if that helps. if thier is ant certain hose that would do that. it is just really sluggish and agervating. please help this is the last problem i am down to. oh also has new fuel pump...filter....and its not the injectors. any other ideas?

i had a similar problem, check your ignition timing again. it might be off a little. if so then reset back to factory and see if that dosent help.
