Re: Engine is broken - what next?

Thanks for the replies. I don't have a garage, so doing any work myself is not really an option. Plus I don't really feel like it anymore. I would gladly pay somebody else who does care, though.

Re: Distributor rotor part number

So one of the parts dealers said that there was a "VIN break", and that for me, the p73 part was the right one to get.

Car runs rich with stock engine

Hello folks.

Distributor rotor part number

For a 97 gsr, I always see these two parts listed:

06304-p72-000

30103-p73-003

Any difference and which is the better one to get?

Oh, also forgot to add this random question:

Re: Can fuel injectors go out of balance?

Bump to ask if there are any injector cleaning places that already have integra injectors on core exchange so that I can just buy from them, install the injectors, and send mine back.

Re: smog fail + rear bumper soot

YOU have to pay for the diagnosis.
THEY will pay up to $500 for repairs
YOU must get BOTH OF THESE SERVICES done at a "Gold Shield" station.

Re: smog fail + rear bumper soot

They are only 2 weeks old and gapped to about .048 (GSR spec is .051-0.004)
