A couple of things make it wierd haha

When i start my car in the cold mornings it starts fine, but as soon as it heats up it starts to make a clattering noise coming from the engine, exp the higher rpms the noisery the clattering gets.
any ideas what this could be? car feels weeker when its warm and stronger when i start it up?

also, i work at a lube shop and change my oil regularly. Everytime i drive it after changing it 50km the next day or so its DIRT black, not slugy or anything. Any ideas what this could be?

i flushed it out countless times, never even close to being over due.

royal purple used before, amsoil next... any ideas???


thanks for your input!!!!

Try doing a compression test. Sounds like you have some leakage. Luckily, it's not of the **** kind.

okay thats just downright filthy. haha

 

maybe there is gas leakng into my oil? i tried smelling it no luck. anyway you can do a comp test by ur self?

 

also, when its cold my car starts then chokes it self and stalls out. to avoid it i just add gas so it wont stall.

and my idle is at 1500 99% of the time.....

its chipped my chrome but not tuned??

could that be the problem or something&gt;

lol thanks for mentioning all the "small" details. Yes that could be an issue.

Also, do you have any CELs? Sounds like maybe your CTS MIGHT either be unplugged or plugged into the wrong connector.

 

nothing no cheak engine lights or anything.

should i bring it into a tuner shop or a honda dealership?

well...no. Just go in and explain the issue you're having. THEY'RE diagnosing it, YOU'RE just telling them the issue. Give them all the information you can...dont leave anything out. It's like going to the doctor for your car.
