VYEC solenoid has been leaking oil since i put the new block in (20k ago?) and I'm a few thousand over on (conventional) oil & filter change. Fuel filter, or do i suspect the solenoid's got something to do with it? I run tanks of 87 gas 75% and 91 once a month...

thx guys

 

try sea foam treatment.

 

did today, nothing changed...

 

Hmmm Fuel injectors good? spark plug wires? do u smell gas when accelerating?

 

Did you reset the ecu after doing the seafoam?

 

no, i haven't.

 

Go pull battery. Real quick for 5 minutes.

 

why would you have to reset the computer after a sea foam treatment?

 

You don't but were brainstorming his issue. Resetting period may help the anomaly.

 

for your issue try the spark plug gap it may be too large .dont mean to take your post bud but seafoam isnt it bad ....my father thinks its b/s

 

He can "think" anything but if it was bad, it wouldn't be on the market. Can it damage something? I'm sure it could but anything used out w/o following directions put on the bottle.

 

thx ... and is my diagnoses near correct lol

 

Could be. At this point I'd go and get a full tune-up. It defenitely could be bad spark plugs or even wires. He can have it hooked-up for free at Pep-Boys, Advanced, AutoZone or the likes to get a diagnosis of what it is. Then they'll tell you whats needed whether its full service or plugs, wires, or any other parts.

 

true true they could but how would they know the gap from a computer not being a smartass but just a question from a yungster ,,,, btw surfer we should meet up sometime bro.

 

See my name in my sig?...lol. You can use it. Sure im all for meeting up the me fellow Tarheel Acuraziner's. The won't know its the spark plug gap but the reading the computer shows could mean a spark problem meaning plugs, wire, etc. It'll also tell you if it reads a fuel problem.

 

>_O uh english lol no i got it but im not a tarheel i was born in florida so my white ass is a gator =) .... yea im prolly goin to squirrels spur with my cousin shoot me a pm so we dont fuck up his post lol

 

I ment NC people... I went to colle at Embrt-Riddle Daytona Besch but lived in Orlando. I handed the nascar/harley crowd...lol. I'm actually trying to move to s. fl in aug.

 

quit jacking the thread.


OP, is your car good at idle?

 

I'm waiting for him to return with an answer after being checked at advanced. Maybe you should read the whole thread snd youd see the only person thats answered his questions all day was me. slow your roll bro. I'm sure he'll be glad to let you come out of my advice when it's done. 3hrs to say "stop jacking this thread" should tell you we had moved on..lolol.

 

tell him desmond! and i also gave good advice :P

 

Yes you sure did bro. Happy new year. PM me asap I may want to see if you're interested in helping me do something.

 

Hi bro one of the sponsers of this site posted this write-up on his tsx and other than your need to clean iacv or replace it, This guy noticed a huge difference by nchanging his plugs/ air filter. If you look at his pix, his plugs looked fine but the electrod gap had def changed compared to the new ones. So have advanced check your plugs against a new NGK/Denso Platinum plug. ONLY use those 2 brands... They are best for hondas.

o shiz mark one up for antonio !!

 

smooth 750ish, yes

 

glad you got it fixed i hate it when mine burps

 

how did you fix it???

 

ooops i didnt read rite lmao he says smooth 750ish i thought he fixed it my bad

 

haven't had the time to get to autozone during business hours. have run half a tank of 91 gas through (valero, dunno if that's any better than 87 arco) and still doing the knock thing. Very irritated. Cleared the CEL with my reader forgot to do disconect the battery, will do tomorrow.

what kind of scan am I requesting at AZ?

on a brighter note, may be buying my wife an odyssey tomorrow, that's exciting. Ditch the 97 TL and start tinkering with my CL again - driver's axel / fuel pump / whatever this is, blackhouse & get some mini h1 projectors into my spare headlamps...

 

Code check. do NOT reset battery or you would have cleared the codes. As far as those gas stations, I have never heard of either. Why not get real gas like shell/exxon/mobile. Stuff like GoGas/Handy Hugo are crap. You arent helping matters by buying that stuff.

 

so, idle is good, but your car stumbles at higher rpm's still?

Does your CEL flash (engine misfiring)?

 

yes, hardcore wobbly. I'm wodering now if it's related to my cv boot being open up front left?

no CEL until i seafoamed and not again since. Runs normal temp, normal mileage, no gas smell except once (yesterday after it sat for 3 days)

 

haha, it was the goddamned axle. Gave up on the fuel filter re: difficulty level. Drives awesome again.

 

Awesome bro. Do a favor and go easy on GD . You might not mind the use of it (I don't but i also refuse to use it) but it's gonna offend people i'm sure.

So segwaying to you car issue. How did you find out? My civic had axle prob but it had awful vibration at hwy speed.

Congrats on the find.

 

glad you found your problem man.

 

Noticed like a gallon of grease all under the left side & the entire wheelwell, saw a major slice on the boot. Think i left it open so long it dried out and started to grind, although i'm confused why it wouldn't be grindy and noisy at low speeds as well

 

gracias felt stupid when the axle fixed it then i fell back in love with 4000+ RPMs again

 

My civic never made noise either but like you, i had grease everywhere. I bet it feels fast huh? lol...
