I was frantic as I was bout to sell the car, and since it started doin that, I figured I'd make it look better for the buyer by changin out the messed up valve cover on it for a newer cleaner one. When I did, I swapped the gaskets too. Long story short, the guy bought a car that doesnt putter, and my other CRX now has the ugly cover and the puttering problem. So for me, the solution was a new valve cover gasket. If this sounds similar to your car's problem, give it a try, their an easy fix, and relativly cheap
Or better yet, just remove your valve cover and check your VC gasket, if it looks rough, that could be it???</TD></TR></TABLE>

I GUESS BUT HOW ABOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I THINK THAT IS WHATS CAUSING IT I DONT KNOW THO, COULD THE ECU BE PARTIAL FRIED OR MESSED UP

Haha, at school huh, 11am your next study hall? Gotta give it up to the kids who are at school learning.....about honda's on HT.
I'm assuming by the "check engine light causing it" you mean the ECU, IDK if that could be it or not.
A more vivid description may help, and if you can get video/audio by any chance later, that may help.</TD></TR></TABLE>

yeah i think it might be the ecu, i can get a 15 second clip maybe of what is going on but that wont be till my friend lends me his camera

 

any body else know any solutions?

I thought he said it wasnt throwin codes, but after re-reading, I see he said nothin about it.
So yeah, get your codes and comeback. If you don't know what your codes are, just search</TD></TR></TABLE>

ok ima doing that today, ill let u guys know what the code is, hopefully its not bad

 

ok i got the codes, it blinked 6 times, stopped, then blinked 9 times, stopped then blinked 10 times so ima guessing codes #6,#9,#10, i searched and #6 is coolant temp sensor, but i replaced that, and code #10 is air intake temp, and #9 i hav no dam clue, are those major problems, i know that #6 is but i put a new temp sensor, so i dunno if u guys know please help

 

ok here is the update, code #9 CYP - cylinder sensor, that what the pm6 ecu is thrwoing, i had my buddie listen over the phone when i started the car, it stutters when it starts up then it starts, my buddie said that the timing is off by a tooth, so i dont know what to do could that be the problem why the car sputters when turning it on. please help
