3 weeks ago I changed the radiator and everything seems to be fine, 1 week ago I had to change the distributor.
The problem comes right after the distributor was changed. After 5 minutes of running the engine feels warmer ( lets say it is like is overheating), and it looses power. On the express I can't go faster than 65 mph, and even hiting 65 it is very hard... I look like a frog with a bunch of rabbits.

Would anybody have an ideea of what the problem is ?

Thank you,

There are a million reason that could be causing those problems. My guess is that you best options would be to swap out the engine. I have done it so many time with my cars (also my hobby) that I made a website about it. It is a free hobby website if you want to check it out. Engines Swap Honda

You can get a cheep B16 civic engine ready to install with transmission for your car for under a grand. It will feel like a brand new car believe me!

There are a lot of things that could be wrong, and you can end up spending too much money trying to fix them. I have had a lot of honda's and acura's because they are my hobby. I have also do a ton of engine swapping. Mostly for the performance aspect of it, but it is also an economical way to fix engine problems. An engine with only 30k miles on it from Japan can be purchased for under a grand.

Engines Swap Honda is a free website that I created because this is really my hobby. Check it out, and read the articles on engine swapping. IF you have questions let me know.
