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

    Drove 600 miles the past 48 hours. From MA to RI to MA to WNY. All for work, so I'll be getting reimbursed for mileage at $.57 a mile. I can't complain. Here at work and it's dead - we just got the email from teh GM that we'll be closing at 2:15 today, rather than 5.

    That's actually not too bad of a price either. Though, I've never shopped around to compare to anything else, so I could be wrong. :lol: OP, Congrats on the house!

    RPM drops while driving

    You replaced it and the same code came back? What was the code? I agree with above too, try cleaning your IACV.

    Overheated D17A2, installing JDM D17A

    Single slammer = SOHC OP, I've run into your issue before. I overheated while delivering pizza, managed to limp it back to home base, but the damage had been already done. Cam seized up and the head was toast.

    94 civic engine damage: need advice

    Complete newbie needs help

    :welcome: I don't think that's the issue. That is not how the car is built.. if that were the case, wouldn't every Civic owner have this same issue? Plus, electronics short when they get wet.. that would most likely cause damage to the ECU and prevent it from working properly regardless of if...
