    Bad hesitation b16a2

    So your plugs are all good now, no more oil on them? That's good. P28 and P30 ECU's are basically identical, if you have it chipped / tuned then ECU type wouldn't matter. Of course that doesn't mean there isn't an issue with it, but I doubt the ECU would suddenly get a problem if you'd been...

    Bad hesitation b16a2

    Oil around the plugs isn't good. I'd check VC gasket. You could be getting blowby coming from the cylinders which would indicate worn O rings, which you can check by doing a compression test. Or your valve guides / seals are worm so oil leaks into the compression chamber. Where was the oil on...

    battery and starting issues

    Do you see the CEL come on when first turning the key to ON II? You should see that one lit up with the rest of the dash lights. This is to confirm that the CEL is even working.

    battery and starting issues

    :welcome: Just to clarify, when you try to turn the car on, you don't see the battery light? But you can see the rest of the lights on the dash? I'm slightly confused by your wording. Is the Check Engine Light on at all? It sounds like you still might have some damp electronics or water in a...

    2006 IMA Civic idles rough only when cold

    You could have googled that within the time it took you to ask.. quicker reply too ;) (just giving you s**t :lol:) 8th gens don't have IACV so you can rule that out at least. Though hybrid motor may be different, I have no idea.

    What intake manifold is this?

    I've renamed and edited your thread to include "manifold" because this isn't an intake.. it's an intake manifold ;) Sounds like the seller screwed you over if it doesn't fit :/

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

    Welcome back Alex..! How's life? I just got back from NYC. Met up with a friend who was there for work. Drove to Beacon (roughly 300 miles) and took a train in. We went to an all you can drink bar for the Super Bowl and my buddy got absolutely wasted. He puked all in the hotel sheets this...

    All lights pulsing

    I get what you're saying. That's actually similar to an issue my car had. Car ran fine, but when I gave it any sort of load, such as turning on headlights or AC, the car would start dumping fuel.... Wideband gauge would go right to 10.0 which is the lowest it would read. It turns out that I had...
