my s13 loses all power over 3500 it is stock besides for an intake. i think i have narrowed it down to 2 things either low fuel pressure or the swirl control valves. im leaning more towards scv and was wondering if anyone has had problems with them getting stuck closed b/c i know without vac they should be open. and if you know anyone i can test them with out pulling the intake off. also i have replaced fuel filter with no change. thanks in advance

Unhook the vac line to the scv's and cap it. Like you said it'll stay open.

You should be able to feel if it is. There's like a plunger that's spring loaded. This is how it looks open. 43244
