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?

 

Lots of bent valves??
Have you done a compression test?

 

^ My thoughts.

 

nope havent done a compression test. This should be done on a cold motor and the numbers should be around?

 

would the secondary o2 cause the car to be acting like this?

No.

 

Theres something causing the car to run rich. You have prolly fouled out your 02 sensor from the richness. I would agree, do a comp test, its cheap and easy.

 

compression test turned out fine what else could it be?

 

How's your A/F Ratio at idle?

 

dont know dont have tools to read that at my disposal

 

anyone else ?

 

gurus where are u ?

 

It's really broad man... Is your maintanence up to spec? i.e. Distributor cap/button/plugs/wires/fuel filter.

could also be your ignition switch with the car starting and dying over and over. next time it starts and is idling, grab your key and move it around while the cars running, if it stalls you need an ignition switch

or, you flooded the **** out of it and it wouldn't start

ok lets start over. Car will start and then shut right off. Checked the fuel pump it goes on but no fuel goes to the rail.

 

help help

 

I assume no CELs? Valve's adjusted to spec? timing set correctly? timing belt didn't skip a tooth? confirmed spark at all four plugs?

need more info on what you've done so far. What were the comp numbers btw?

 

k finally got parts for dizzy, instead of waiting to find a whole one. Car started, tomorrow i will test drive and post. Thanks to all for their help.
