Infamous EJ8 dizzy failure. Same thing happened to me, just more in the middle of f**king driving, on a busy road. Glad to hear it's running!

Glad you got it figured out. But you forgot to install the hood.

I test drove it without, in case something happened I didn't want to have to take it off again.

I left it at my grandpa's shop because I didn't want to park it outside overnight at my house. Going there today to do a valve adjustment, fix the exhaust rattle (it's hitting the chassis), fix the suspension and see why my turn signals are wack.

I believe today was her first day at her new job, right? Probably swamped/smashed.

Car is running, except I apparently need valve stem seals -.- and its running just fine. Still haven't cracked vtec though. I'm still in break in mode.

and my first day.... Ohhhhhh man. I'm going to love it there I think. I get to take a Model S to a couple towns over tomorrow

 

[TigBitties]

you know its not necessarily good to baby the engine in low rpms during break in right.....

Some people say drive t like you want for best results. Just make sure when you take it out to drive it at different speeds. I need to find that article.

from what ive been taught, its best to run it up in the rpm range and then completely let off the throttle. its the highest point of vacuum and causes the rings to expand outward and seat properly

That's what they do with sport bikes too.

Its not at super low rpm. And I'm doing a lot of compression braking.
