Whats sup fella, I did some searches and couldn't find to much on this problem. Here it is, when I'm driving the car tends to jerk little while both accelerating and decelerating. It will stall out when you push the brake really fast and hard, also while in turns. Do you think this could be from bad gas? This is the setup 97 JDM Spec R, DC2, AEM CAI, VTec Controller, stock everything else around 107,000K. So maybe you fella can help me out. I think its just bad gad and the computer is trying to compensate for the poor quality of on base gas but I'm not sure. Thanks much!

 

fuel pump? just a guess

 

I'm not sure, don't know why the fuel pump would just take a crap within 2 months of buying the car... But I'll look into it.

 

the pump has 107k miles correct?

if so this could be the problem.

 

I was thinking about it and maybe the fuel pump is going bad. But daymn I live in japan and I'm kinda scared how much that is ganna run me... I'd like to go threw all the maybe's out the way before I act and spend that kinda money...

 

i always got the assumption that, if your car/motor has more than 55k miles or whatever is it equivelant in KM. you have to trash the motor/car. And all the motors from japan end up here in the USofA

that's what i thought too. how does it work over there LilistFear?

 

So be honest I don't know. I know the jn's like to buy the newest car stuff. You can go to a second hand parts store and get a almost brand new turbo cheep. Places like up garage is a place to go to. As for junking I don't know I'll have to look it up for ya'll. But I met someone today that does importing of jdm engines to the states and owns a Honda Speed Shop. Ole boy schooled my a$$ and fixed the problem. It was faulty programing in the feilds vtec controller. He reprogramed it and now she pursss like a little kitten. Now he's trying to talk me into push some boost.. Who knows maybe if the money is there.

 

glad to hear that they fixed your problem man! good thing it wasn't anything real bad like some internal damage or anything.

 

yeah me too, my wife was getting a little irritated because of we just bought it. I was thinking I had bad gas or sucked up a little to much water, but since its fine I'm not ganna **** with it. I hope I can pick up an exhaust pretty cheap around here.

 

What would be your number one choice for an exhaust system in Japan?

 

guessing that in jap land.. junking motors with over 55k miles b/c of emmisons is just a myth?

 

I would think so too, but I can check out. I know most guys on base never drive there whp monsters that much, gas cost to much. But I dont know, I'm ganna get an new exhaust setup. I'll probably me being me and love honda I'm ganna try to go mugan or HKS. But I'll keep ya'll posted I might head out to kenson's show this week.
