    Could have an exhaust restriction. You can either check with an exhaust back pressure gauge or disconnect exhaust pipe from exhaust manifold and see if there is an improvement.

    Perform compression and leak down tests. The problem could easily be distributor related--replace the igniter, coil, and housing, (Honda only) if necessary.
