    EX model MPG ?

    Yeah, it's absolutely possible. I managed 36MPG with my RSX on a few long trips, EPA average is like 30 or something.

    P0505 - D16y8

    Cold air = more dense air = more fuel required to compensate. In order to better warm the car, the ECU controls the idle when cold, and won't use O2 sensor feedback to control the A/F ratio until the ECT reaches normal temperature. As for setting idle speed, you want to set it with everything...

    Ep2 overboost/fuel cut/lean afr

    The tuner ended up finding it when testing with a multimeter, whatever voltage it was supposed to see at idle was inconsistent. It turns out that it was a knockoff Chinese MAP sensor, but was sold on eBay as a real Omni one. I contacted the seller and ended up getting a refund...

    Ep2 overboost/fuel cut/lean afr

    I had a similar issue that I chased around for months. It drove me absolutely bonkers, even my tuner wasn't sure of the issue. It turned out to be a faulty MAP sensor.

    Engine trouble: 98 civic EX

    No oil in the filter could be an oil pump issue, but also maybe not... especially if you checked the filter when the motor was cold. It's possible that the anti-drainback valve inside the filter itself is faulty. That just means that the oil inside the filter drained back out. When you start...

    New to Hondas: '88 Civic Wagon RT4WD

    The motor in the car isn't from an 88. Sounds like it has a Z6 in it.

    EX model MPG ?

    If you baby it, shift properly, and the car is up on maintenance, etc., it's possible. MPG varies because everyone has a different style of driving so there's really no one set answer as to an exact MPG.

    Overheating: 99 civic

    Do you see oil in the coolant or vice versa?

    Overheating: 99 civic

    It would not. But we cant rule out just yet that the overheating and oil in a spark plug hole are related. It could be two separate issues. Please answer HeX's questions as they're important in the troubleshooting process.

    1999 Civic swap advice

    I was 20 when we swapped my b18 and turbo. Lived with the 'rents then. Swapped in my buddies backyard. It was cheap(ish) and easy. But there will always be people who try do hack jobs and try to find workarounds regardless. "Cheap" is a relative term. "Easy" is a relative term.... OP, look...

    Overheating: 99 civic

    It could be the valve cover gasket too... get a valve cover gasket set and it should include the cylinder plug seals as well

    Oil Leak: '00 Civic DX

    It probably leaks when moving as well, but you wouldn't know. You were told it was the rear main seal... did you replace it? Oil pan might be tight but the gasket could still be bad. I would think that would go bad before the rear seal. Could also be leaking though the distributor o-ring, valve...

    What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

    I've noticed that the altitude thing can be off if you have just opened snapchat. There are no weather sensors on the phone so the temp, etc is based on your location and gets temperature data from the Weather channel. Right from their website The answer to the question “How does snapchat know...

    Yep that's some crazy weather. We've had similar wacky temps in NY on occasion as well. 80 one day, down to the 30's the next. Nuts.

    What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

    Did the whole state come to a halt? :lol: I'm in Tulsa, OK now. Was hoping to escape the cold weather for a bit but it was one degree warmer than NY when I landed. Looks like it might get up into the 70's today and tomorrow, but Friday on my travel day home, it's supposed to be freezing rain...

    Should I buy this b20b for 6th gen?

    $400 is a good deal if it's in good condition. Unfortunately we have no idea if it's in good condition.
