Then an obvious question...did you ever actually clear the codes? Remove the positive and negative from the battery and hold them together for a few seconds to totally drain power from the car.

Photo from honda-tech 8 2012 here at Canadian motorsports raceway ( formerly Mosport) Biggest show in canada i would assume. This year they added open lapping along with show and shine which was nice for the track guys.

I kinda wanna do a KRX with the new crx...maybe just put it under a cover and start when it can be afforded!

Just to keep some convo going in here... I dont think until purchasing this 91 that I realized they all have that squirter nozzle on the roof. and non si's having rear wipers in 91. I dont nit pic all those little details and options, some are so small until owning it you dont realize it.
Only thing I really am disliking about the car is the blue interior.. hahaha.. Im a snob for my si interiors from all the prior EFs

Hope everyone is still rocking... crickets in here lately.

You must have the worst luck amongst us.

Dan, its funny you mention KRX, a buddy of mine is willing to sell me a spare k24 longblock for 500 bucks. I can tell you that it has made me lose some sleep.

Chris, I wouldnt tear my one prissy car apart but this new car being all oem and needing to cut the center for a manual either way.. It just screams all motor K drag car. If money wasnt an issue!!! Sounds like you got a good deal in front of ya!

WMHM looked like a blast! so many EFs out too.. I am putting that on the calendar for next year.



Dang BLU, you really cant catch a break lately.. I hope you get it sorted out and that it hasn't broken your love for the EFs... Didnt you just swap trannys with someone? I feel like you were recently in there.

I have been having this issue. I swapped for a brand new ntk, and within a month it came back. Fuel mileage is still 30mpg though, so not worried until I switch to obd1.

mpg with this issue hasn't really taken a big hit but my idle is really rough when warm and the hesitation/power loss in the mid range is killing it. car like to idle low almost stalling.

THAT is one reason i dont do my own tranny work, I just dont trust myself to do it right and cant afford to blow one out.

Suck Adrian, but at this rate that just means the Honda truck will accidentally be losing a full k swap in front of your house - hopefully it'll just bounce into the engine bay ready to go...

lucks due to you man, just hold on...
