<p>It's called limp mode. &nbsp;Your CEL is on. &nbsp;Pull the code. &nbsp;Post it.</p>

Codes are 6-22-41-65-91, why do i have codes for vtec when i dont have it?? The other 2 are for a o2 sensor an 1 is for a etc sensor.... would the etc sensor cause it??

How long have you had the car? Did it pull to 7k before the mods? What ecu do you have?

tony_2018

super lame...knows he has cel codes but doesn't bother to check them.

Probably went test pipe and thought "Oh, it's just for the cat. Who doesn't have a CEL on in their honda?!"

Derp.

An yes im running a cat an both o2 sensors

Me thinks you bought a lemon. Just grab the ecu number and we will see what's going on there.

Im a carb guy, so new to these sensors an b.s... no need to be dicks, you folks were new once as well XD

New doesn't excuse not reading bro!

Go to the post I linked and scroll through it, it tells you what your CEL's mean.

Not being a dick, just not doing your work for you.

I did read what the sensors were before i posted.... i did read up on the problem, i asked what COULD be the problem... like what the code 91 ment an of iy COULD cause the problem... im picking the car up tomorrow so will post the engine, head, an intake code an the ecu number........ worst case i just have to replace the ecu correct??

<p>Picking the car up tomorrow? &nbsp;So you haven't bought it? &nbsp;What the **** are you thinking? &nbsp;Stop. &nbsp;Stop right now. &nbsp;Don't buy that ******* car. &nbsp;Unless you are getting it for FREE, don't even go near it.</p>

.:FFS TechNet : OBD2 Code 91 Issue & Fix :.

The code 91 is possibly because of the chassis not being equipped with the sensor and the ecu you have installed looking for it. Or it could be a leak in the line running to tank. As you've been told though there's no point in speculating until you determine what ECU and head you have. Find that info out and then report back. I'll drop this link in here though as it was helpful for me when troubleshooting this code during my swap. I ended up just swapping ECUs.

tony_2018

Than you're wasting your time and money. If you want to be like the old timers and not get with the future than just stick to what you know and continue looking at the carb vehicle, scratching your head, and play guessing games.

CEL codes give you a direction where the problem could be, from there you do the "basic" troubleshooting: check sensor, check wires, check related components. All done with a DMM. But **** if using a DMM isn't your thing just do what someone said, replace parts and hope it works.

montanacivic

Thanks man, she will be out of the shop tomorrow.. an to the other dude READ, the car is in the shop for a rear main leak.... i have had the car for a few weeks...

montanacivic

Dude reread what the **** i posted.... i never said i did not want to learn... why do u think i bought this car??? so i could learn, so i could get out of my comfort zone...... this is a forum for help right??? So didnt i do the RIGHT thing an ask a question?? god damn, cut a man a break....

You may not do well here if thats your attitude.
Also, stop asking for help if you aren't able to troubleshoot yet.
Do some damned searches.

montanacivic

im going out on a limb here that most honda owners cant read??? What attitude?? I did search, the vtec codes through me off considering i dont have it... an yes if most honda owner are like this then i wont make it here..... i trouble shooted, i ASKED WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS, MEANING I DONT THINK ANY OF THE CODES I POSTED WOULD CAUSE THIS.... I have a great attitude but whwn folks are a smart *** an cant read that i did search, i did trouble shoot then yes folls get pissed.... to the folks that are helping me out thanks an i will post the info ya asked for later to day...

Lets go down NARC's list then, shall we?

6 - ECT sensor. It's a 2 pin sensor on the head, roughly under the distributor. Find it, and tell us what color wires are plugged into it. -- Did you check it?

22 - VTEC pressure sensor. If you have a complete Y7, you don't have one. Find your head code, and your ECU code, and post both of those. Your head code will be on the front of the head, above the exhaust manifold flange. Your ECU code will be on a sticker, on the ECU itself, which should be behind the passenger side kick panel. -- Y7 head?

41 - Primary O2 sensor heater. Make sure you have an O2 sensor installed. I'm sure you know what an O2 sensor is. -- 5$ says you don't have one or its not plugged in.

65 - Secondary O2 sensor heater. Make sure you have a secondary O2 sensor installed. -- See 65

91 - Fuel tank pressure sensor. ...What the ****? -- I'll repeat for him, what the ****?

--
Oh wait, you don't have the car in your possession yet, so you can't troubleshoot.



Typically people don't buy heaps of crap off of Craigslist where I'm from and beg and plead with the internet to help you fix it when you are physically incapable of fixing it (Hint: You don't have the car yet...)

Then again, I'm not from Montana, nor does it sound like I would visit there now, something likely is in the water.

When do we just stop replying?

He posted 6 days ago that he luuuurves the car, but it runs like crap, followed by the fact that it has "impressed him" yet it still... is a heap.

Go crawl under your hood and look at it, or just post more pictures to instagram, they don't get there by themselves after all.

Lol^ op donr buy the car.

tony_2018

its too much trouble to look into a car that already has issues unless you're prepared to dump money into it to get it running right. Should look into one that is already running, no cels (verify if the yellow cel light comes on during startup) , and has been inspected by a shop. safest bet for new honda drivers.
