01 Type R stock everything. Car idles rough has CEL code for secondary o2, changed plugs they were carbon filled. Put new ones in and withing a week they were black again. Some one told me that the secondary o2 doesnt affect performance, so the o2 wouldnt make the car run rich and act wierd. Yesterday i started the car and it turn off within a minute, then everytime that i would try to start the car it would turn off immediately. I tried for hours to figure it out. I left it for about 2 hrs, then i tried again and after thge 4th time it turned on. Anyone knows what could be the problem?

 

when was the last time you checked/replaced

distributor rotor/cap and plug wires??

 

add igniter and coil....

 

the type r actually belongs to me, i just got my account fixed. I just bought the car i never changed the distributer. I also got a fuel pressure guage installed now, and it states that the fuel pressure is at 43 psi./

 

help

 

start by removing distributor cap and looking at the rotor tip, if its all burned up, you need to replace it.

 

would the distributer still be a factor if the car starts. I thought once the car can get enough spark to start it should be good.

distributor rotor, bad plug wires, or cap can lead to you thinking something else is wrong with the car..

remove distrubutor cap. you can turn ignition until rotor is facing the right way to see the wear.

i do'nt know why you haven't done that yet.

 

removed cap looked at rotor seems fine. dont have another distributor to try. Is there any way i can test the dizzy to see if that is problem?
