got it back from the dealer today, they said my injectors were leaking. i take off car seems to drive fine...once i floor it to get on the freeway and feel the power i miss... car boggs out even worse than before and my check engine light starts to flash AND my cls now feels like its running on 5 cylinders AND sounds like a dirt bike! the car has to be running on 5 cylinders to run this bad, dont you think? i call the dealer and take it right back, they give me a loaner, now i sit and wait to find out whats wrong with my baby. at least they gave me a tl-s as a loaner. driving this car fast really lets me know how bad my cls is running . anyone have any ideas on whats wrong with my car?

 

check your plugs/ distributor and wires

 

It does sound fuel related. But could be from the pump to the regulator to an injector. If they can isolate a code like P030X where X is a number then that would specify a misfire on a certain cylinder. Ask what codes they are reading...

 

check your distributor and wires.

 

No such thing on there cars, that have individual coils on each plug.

 

ok, sorry- I had no clue

 

they gave u a tl s for loaner?? NIce wat dealership is this? I am sitting with a 01 integra gsr as my loaner..not bad but could have been a tl s :-(

 

Check the coil packs... No doubt about it.... They can go bad from moisture or the car sitting...but they do go bad from time to time.. causing exactly what you said.... and they are not cheap.

john eagle, im sure they did this because i have tried to get my car twice now only to turn right back around and drop it off....AGAIN. 1st type-s i have had as a loaner. i always get tl or cl-p as a loaner. john egale has no more integra loaners...THANK GOD!

 

thanks smitty, a friend said the same exact thing you just did. they have been on my car since 8am and the still claim to not know whats wrong with it! ohh well as long as i have an S as a loaner

 

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this. Check the actuator. http://www.geocities.com/~gamesmgr/chod/acura/#Driving6

 

just take the car back to the dealership

I had the same problem and I had a slight jiggle when the car was in idle. It turns out the dealer had loosened the wire/coil connections when i got my intake installed. So I was running on 5 cylinders and the car was just not kicking like it used to in Vtec. They figured it out after 2 hrs of searching. Now I had a second problem When I installed my own intake, So I reset the ecu by unhooking the battery for an hour or two. then I connected it and drove the shit out of the car. Have the codes for navi and radio ready. I believe this will help.
