03? tsx motor not running well after 2 years of sitting
Hey guys, i have a 03si with a "k24a2" in it. I bought it from a guy, he said it came from a "03" tsx(im thinking 04, since i can find any info on 03 tsx's) Anyways, it had about half a tank of gas in it for the last 2 years it sat in his back yard. I picked it up, threw some new 91 octane gas in it(mixed with the old gas). And it started right up....it idles fine and it revs pretty steady. But once i put the engine under a load like when i give it more than half gas as i drive, it starts to bog down and i notice the check engine light will flicker as it bogs(knock sensor maybe)? Can you guys give me any advise on what i should do other than get the old gas out, it will be out in a day or two. I plan on giving it an oil change tomarrow, as well as changeing the plugs. It has some Denso ik22's in it and i bought some new NGK's p611 somethings for an 04 tsx. They thing is when i put the 2 plugs next to each other, the ngk are a little bit longer...is that ok? Sorry for the mess, im really tired....id really be thankful for help and advice...thanx...

yeah, i get a "water temp is above average" cel, but that goes away, and like i said, i get a flickering light when its bogging down it it doesnt stay. I know the ecu is a kpro, it has 550 injectors aswell...... ill change all fluids asap....anybody know about the plugs?
