I have been having a bad time with my B18C5 for the last 2 months. Firstly, the car started throwing CELs 6 to 7 blinks. I changed my plugs and the problem started to lightened becoming 3 blinks during driving. So I got the expertise of some forumers and realised that I had to adjust my TPS which was out of spec. I adjusted it to 0.45V and played with the idle screw to try and also solve a fluctuating rev at idle. Checked the IACV too. IACV was well. CEL stopped throwing codes. But during the 6 to 7 blinking days, there started to have oil leaks at the head gasket just above the engine block number. I just spoke to a friend and he tells me its most likely a blown head gasket. The problem I face now is upon light throttle and upon throttle release at almost any speed and RPM, the car jerks and hesitates. This happens after I VTEC the car and start cruising. I am getting rev hunting at idle too. Also the power has dropped tremendously since I got the car from the previous owner. What should I do now? I don't wish to waste money doing the wrong stuff and get the car fixed once and for all! Please advise me.

**** dude.. my car also had a blown head gasket an things went DOWNHILL from there... coolant and water started getting in the cylinders an even dripping out my air filter....

end result - big $$$$ spending, had to get head overhauled, new pistons, new rings, new bearings, basically new everything inside the engine...
