Re: 1998 Honda Accord loses rpm/ stalls coming to a stop.

No problem. That was the worst three months of my life. I dont remember what p1457 is but if you have the same problem as me thats not good news. I think mine ended up having ppor compression in one...

Re: Leaky distributor seal

218,000 on the distributor, but the coil is new.

Re: Buying an engine from a rollover

It's put of the car and I assuming no oil. It's a 2.3 l vtec f23a1. It had basically no miles on it (less than 10k) and it was for $600. It seems too good to be true but its a legit salvage yard....

Buying an engine from a rollover

Does it sound ok to buy an engine from a rollover crash.
The engine is guaranteed but labor is not. Will the rollover crash hurt the engine at all? I know that the block and head are not cracked and...

Re: 1998 Honda Accord loses rpm/ stalls coming to a stop.

I've actually clean out egr ports and even replaced egr valve already. The weird thing this time, is that i never noticed a misfire. It idles kind of hard, but no sputtering, etc.
