Hahaha all the original parts are just going out it's okay i don't think I have much more left.Jeez everything on your car keeps going bad or breaking. You need to start stocking up on more good karma lol.
Okay so I have had this problem for a little while. I had figured it would of been solved by fixing the tps however yet again i was wrong. After letting the car idle for a little while or after driving for a short period of time and when slowing down to a stop my car will die on me as shown today. I believe its the ignition control module. Any other guesses. My only other guess is the ignition coil.
lol well i got new o2 installed and pulled code i dont know why i was thinking something else was wrong without pulling the code. So I have a vacuum leak. My rubber caps on my vacuum manifold are shot lol. Will be getting new ones put in tomorrow.
Well no more vacuum leak however now im trying to find out why it still is throwing a code. Have to check and see what it is. I reset ecu (unhooked battery) and started up the car. This thing is really getting on my nerves. to another topic I think I have figured a way I plan on doing a cheap dumptube. Plan on just getting the flexible piping from advanced or something getting a clap and running if that way.
So I got my code probkem fixed still have a vacuum leak unfortunately. I am going to get some new plugs today. I got 1/4" and need to get 1/8". I had figured the zip ties would help. I was wrong.
1 3/4 flex pipe for dumptube = win
negative open atmosphere. This is just a temporary fix
Okay so I have had trouble with a reoccurring problem with my car. I have been trying to diagnose the problem and have tried solving this problem while fixing others. I am hoping to get some responses here. If not I will put it in engine tech. I've tried some research on this problem and have found wide range of solutions. I suppose its time to state problem. After being warmed up and driving when my car goes to make a stop at times not all the time. The car will die. I can get it to crank back up it just takes a few seconds and my boost gauge goes to crap which I haven't noticed or seen anyone else saying that. That however might just be gauge not resetting. I currently pull about 15psi vacuum. I can double check that with hondata. I've read up possible problems might be iacv, fuel pump, fuel injectors, and a few other things. I have replaced all of those parts already so all of those are new. I am wondering if my tune may be a factor but I would have to have someone look at this map that i currently am running on. I am not throwing any codes. Please help
So car is running great now and i have new speedfactory map sensor coming in should be here by 16th or 17th. I really wish i could find me some damn fenders and sell the pos fenders i have. If anyone sees any at a junkyard and wants to pick them up and send them to me i'll be very happy. Have it planned out that this summer car will be getting paint finally. Will be ordering some new bushings soon for my front suspension. Planning on finally getting tune come july
So i just took off my old map sensor and put on a new speedfactory 4 bar map sensor yay. It sounds a lot calmer i suppose you can say. Strange i know but anyways. I have had one more problem with the car and i just can't seem to get rid of it after all the replacing i have been doing but it has allowed me to center on my problem. My idle after i hit the pedal will stay up until i pull on throttle pedal with my foot. Now then the problem has got to be dealing with my throttle cable somewhere. Have tried tampering with it a little bit but I am still having the problem. I would like to think that it is a need for car to relearn idle however since i have tried this already a few times i do not think that is my problem. Now then I need to know exactly how to check on throttle cable or if it might be the pulley. I have visually checked the butterfly valve on throttle body and i know that it is clean. I haven't checked it when it is holding higher idle. Now then any ideas GO
Ok don't think anyone care to much about my build beside siboy however I must say my car has become fun. I need to get a video so hopefully will be making few short vids soon.
Did you figure out the throttle issue? Sorry I didn't see the update.
EDIT: I think the reason nobody else posts here is because your build is so much different from the "accepted" style that is the fad right now. Unfortunate for you, but thats just the way it is.

LOL yeah i guess I went 90's style. Plus i said screw the b stay with the d. Ohh well.
I like your build, people hardly post on mine too, I think this site has changed & only a few members are currently active, keep doing what you doing & hope to see more progress.
Need to find a way to charge my video camera and take some videos. I could just use the phone but ehhh. I might
im tuned in haha just dont wanna send you on a wild goose chase. mine wasnt boosted but would do what you said in a way. ignitor in my distributor went bad. new one from honda and ran perfect. also could it be bad gas? that was another problem of mine. I.E. condensation and stuff in the tank not arco gas
