oh yeah cant forget about the notorious honda windows drivers side wont go up....

 

I think it's one of those things that once you find one thing wrong, it snowballs from there. You start looking for things that are wrong. Just make a list, and start at the top.

Looks like the Greddy 18g will have to wait.

 

Then its time for your 70K tuneup.

Less talky more fixy.

Tires are a normal wear item
cam gears have nothing to do with the factory setup
the timing belt can't be "too tight" unless someone clamped down on the tensioner
The paint is your own responsability to keep up
Mugen wing is aftermarket

O2 sensors usually last 100k miles. I would bet your running too rich and thus the problem with your O2. Why are you running too rich? Well, if the TPS is jacked up like you say, walla, your problem. So it looks like you really have ONE problem with this car that caused the O2 to fail. Could also have something to do with that craptastic adjustable FPR. I don't understand why people always think they need these things. Adjust the TPS or replace the TB, fix the O2 sensor and quit whinning.

they still have to be tuned tho, the tensioner WAS tight cuz of the gear install, but took care of that....cars from the east coast and paint was F'd up when i got it...

The O2 sensor went cuz i was running rich, i was running rich cuz the Sensor on the TB went out and it was constantly open. The ECU was ajusting for it, and made me run rich. the FPR came on my buddies FR and its at stock setting....

 

bump

 

most of your problems are normal wear items. your o2 sensor shouldn't go out that early and your timing belt shouldn't be tight. mugen wing??

 

Just need to give it alittle more TLC buddy!

Its easy to kill an O2 if its running extremley rich.

My windows haven't given me any problems (97), but I know of two people, 96 Civic HX and 97 Civic HB DX, who've had their passenger (96) and driver (97) windows fail. In both cases it was the weatherstripping getting into the track, them FORCING the window down, which permanently folded the stripping into the track, which pushed the track adjustment bolts to their maximum settings, then after continuous abuse they got loose, then fell out, at which point the window fell off the track and wouldn't go up.

Cry me a river. You ever remove the door panel and CLEAN and LUBRICATE the tracks on the windows? Didn't think so. Might want to try that. You an't neglect to take care of something and then bitch when it brakes.

Are you SURE that retarded FPR is set to stock? I would highly recommend hucking it.

when some *** tried to break into my car he ripped the rubber out of the door panels, so WHENEVER the window goes down, it comes off track...ive taken it appart many a time, but it just keeps breaking...ive been quoted about 300 to fix it, and i have other pressing matters which need to be fixed first....
