My car has lost power? HELP?
I was showing my car off like an idiot and I was revving it up. It is a 1993 Mazda Protege LX with the 1.8 liter DOHC I-4. It redlines pretty high(7400ish). I revved it up and it made a loud pop. Now it doesn't seem to have the power it used to. I'm not sure what it could be. Some help would be nice thanks.

Redlining an engine without load is a sure way of wrecking it. My guess is you busted a valve spring or a valve, you likely have a dead cylinder. Time for a new engine or an engine rebuild.
