why is my prelude 1991 slow on pulloff

You can't just ask that broad of a question and expect a decent answer... I'm gonna say it's because of the driver or because it's just a slow car.

Try a higher octane fuel or changing the oil once in a while.

It is a stick or an auto? What engine does it have? How many miles? Any more info will help a great deal.

my car is a 1991 2.0 16v manual.i replaced the engin with a imported one from japan with ± 70000km.when i start the car it feels strong till it reaches working temp and then it feels dead.

might as well box it up and mail it back to japan...specially if its losing compression....it could be how u drive...but more than likely its a technical prob sum where causing it to lose compression.. i kno i jus like totally copied eyes but lol i did throw in the possiblility that it could be a the driver but more than likely its a the motor.. whats other things u notice about it.. is it only when taking off.. what gear does it start to get sum more balls lol
