yes, using a thin wire.

 

i used a stereo wire.....and it didnt show anything

 

reset your ECU, you obviously have a problem. Under the hood pull the fuses for back up clock/radio and your ecu fo 10 seconds. Does the CEL come on right away after the cars ecu was reset?

 

i pulled the one just for clock/radio backup away for 10sec.....the engine light went away when i turned it on but then came back on after i started the car for like 2secs

 

should i pull the one for ecu also?

 

no, you did it correctly, i donno why you cant get any codes to come out, definately look up your closest autozone and bother them to pull the code for you. But in all reality, from everything that you've said about your uncle, he pay have messed up the timeing. When did this problem start, right after he put the belt on? did you put the intake on at the same time he was working on the belt?

 

the sound came after he changed the belt, and i put my intake on 2 weeks later, and almost a month after i had my intake on this started happening, now im leaking radiator fluid also, and he just put in a new radiator

 

maybe the wire im using is too long........its probably about a good 5ft long...

 

nah, prolly not the case. Take the timing belt cover off and make sure non of the teeth of the belt are "chewed" off. I'm only suggesting little things until you get the code that your pulling, usually thats the best place to start, but definately dont take your uncles CEL diagnostic tool serious. looks like you'll be going to autozone today.

 

omg.
You need a new uncle or a new mechanic asap.

 

looks like it.......

 

well i trusted him because he has a legend and a bunch of other cars, so i thought he was familar with acura's so i let him have at it, it took him 2 months to do a tune up, put in new motor mounts, new altenator, new radiator

 

i think i might have my friends mechanic have a look at it this afternoon

 

hopefully it wont give me too much sh!t to make me late for graduation today

 

you didn't get the memo?

 

isnt the belt cover a bitch to take off?

 

i got a P0141 and its the secondary o2 sensor

 

how did you come up with that? autozone of did you pull it your self?

 

autozone, he even showed me where the secondary o2 is at
it said someone heating malfunction and the secondary o2 is bad

 

is the rpm spiking coming from this bad o2??

 

shoot i uploaded the wrong last video and i put in the wrong url for the third one

heres for the bad start

 

dear lord, that didnt sound healthy. Get that to your friends mechanic, or any mechanic as long as its not your uncle. sorry about the problems man

 

First off, the timing is probably not out too far if the car will run. Secondly, it seems likely that your uncle installed the belt improperly. (The bevel is in instead of out)
Thirdly, PLEASE, PLEASE have a qualified mechanic look at that. Your problems have NOTHING to do with the INTAKE.

That whooping sound after the failed start sounds like air was pushed back through the intake or something is rubbing aginst a shroud. (kind of hard to tell) If the timing has slipped you could be doing damage to the v-tec system. And I would imagine the O2 sensor failure is related to the other issues.

Go back to your uncle and KICK HIM IN THE BALLS! He has FUBARED your whip and now you gotta find a good mechanic or it is gonna get worse.

Good luck.

 

man stalled out on me 5 times at stop signs while going to my graduation
than after i left it didnt want to crank over, than it stalled up as soon as i pulled upto my drive way

 

it keeps going dim like its about to stall, and the rpm goes down to zero for a little bit, but then it goes back up if it doesnt stall

 

Run these down.... IAC, TPS, O2b1, O2b2(heated), CHECK THE TIMING.

Then, Have the Timing Belt and Water Pump re-installed by a pro... And finally, GO KICK YOUR UNCLE IN THE JIMMY.

 

im thinking about a getting new/used short block........

 

maybe i need a new battery?

 

Did you say he replace the ALT with the wrong amp rating? If you have a dead cell, you could damage the charging system with a new alternator. But if that were the case, you would turn over very slowly or not at all (click click).

 

yeah he replaced it with the wrong amp rating, it takes a few tries to get it to turn over sometimes

 

ok secondary cell issue is resolved, because my exhaust system is leaking and thats probably why the o2 sensor has gone bad
