I've searched and from what I can find all these people are throwing codes. I have no CEL and under load and at high rpms I'm getting a misfire. When the car has been driven 30 minutes or more it's fine...

Plugs, wires, dizzy cap, fuel filter, and rotor button are only about 5k miles old.

what kind of motor are you running?

H22A1?

I would start out w/ a checking/adjusting your valves..

 

H22A1 correct. Valves were adjusted when the plugs, wires, dizzy cap, fuel filter, and rotor button were changed.

Mods are Megan Header /w 2.5" collector mod, Megan Test Pipe, Custom 2.5" Mandrel Catback, Apexi V-AFC, and AEM CAI.

The distibutor is kinda corroded from where I got the car from up north could this be an issue?

 

how is the distributor corroded?

assume you've checked the timing, fuel pressure etc?
does the misfire only happen on WOT?

Gavz

 

Had the same problem here. Honda adjusted the valves at 60k and turned out that they tightened the valves too tight. Had to fight with them for a few weeks and they never did fix it. I had it done myself. They told me it was all the basic **** and because the car had a CAI and Exhaust it was causing the car to misfire.

F ucking idiots.

Moral of story is again, check valves.

 

I had a similar problem but different. Honda had no idea how to fix it, they replaced my ignitor and my dizzy even though the dizzy was new anyways. Didn't fix anything, so they told me I needed a new ecu and they wanted $800. hahaha I was pretty sure it had nothing to do with the ecu so I told them to expletive themselves. Turns out it was a bad ignitor connection, replaced the little thing and everythings perfect. Too bad my lude drove like **** for 3 months and Honda made total asses out of themselves. The lady who gave me the most trouble got fired(unrelated but thank god shes gone) so I went back and the service manager refunded me $250 for the ignitor they should have replaced for free. hahaha

 

Well my valve adjustment was a little off so I redone that today and I still have the same problem.

And yes Gavzter I've checked the timing and fuel pressure both are right. And yes it only happens at WOT.

 

Bump'n it!

 

Anything?

 

it may have something to do with the v-afc...who installed it? id check those connections

 

maybe try checking the connections on the igniter.

 

The V-AFC wiring is correct I've checked it.

I shall check the connections on the ignitor tomorrow.

 

Ordered an entire new distributor...we shall see.

 

were your plugs pregapped?

 

damn you must have dropped a mint on the dizzy

what kind of plug wires are on there?

 

NGK plugs were pre-gapped and I checked them and they were right(I used .044). And I'm running NGK wires.

A few of my friends have actually used Distributor King on eBay and got great products. I figured I'd try it...149.95 shipped.

Well the new dizzy fixed it.
