I own a Honda Prelude 95.
I recently had(90.000 miles) a broken timing belt while I was driving.
Since then I notice that I have a loss of power at about 60mph.When the engine is cold it's running great.But soon as it's warm I have this loss of pwer and it's very annoying.Above 60mph the engine runs great.
please tell me what should I do.
Thanks.

I am wondering if the timing belt was put on possibly one tooth off. I have had this problem exactly before and solved it by either adjusting the belt or adjusting the timing to compensate. I have even over notched the distributor housing to allow for more movement to get the timing in to position. Have the timing checked.
