Default Need a mechanic, Honda cant find the problem...

I need someone to take a look at my car, to help me find out what is wrong with it. Hit me up if you own a shop or know someone that does. I have been to a mechanic in garden grove, and 2 different honda dealers. Thanks for all the help guys...

Still doing that, after i went to this local shop in garden grove, and i took it to honda 2 times and they said it was the cat restricting the air flow. I put the stock cat back on and bought a new o2 sensor, and still laggin. It feels like something clogged, and it is lagging at lower rpms. I am getting really shitty gas mileage. I get around 150-200 a tank and i used get around 325 a tank when i first got the car. I really dont know why it is driving so shitty, i have taken great care of this car. oil chaged every 3000 with full syn, full tune up, timing belt was done, new clutch, all new o2 sensors. So if you think you know what could be wrong hit me up. Oh and its a 2000 honda civic ex with 119,000 miles on it. Thanks for all the help HT and all the pep that have tried to help me in the past...

Changed the fuel filter when doing the tune up, and changed the cat back to stock, with a brand new o2 sensor... anyother ideas?

Nothing, i had dc header, and a v2 intake. Stock exhaust. It started to drive shitty so i thought it was my intake. I took that off, put it back to stock air box. Then my heder got a crack in it so i took that off and put my stock on back on. So everything is stock again, and it still drives like ****.

Contact this guy "wrx-killer-Sti-eater" I bet he could get it fixed or point you in the right direction. He's legit! Had him look at my ride when no one could figure out the problem, 60 min... and it was fixed.

I have had a lot of great offers, i just waiting to find a really good one. I am sick of paying pep to look at my car and they tell me a wrong problem, or they have no clue whats wrong.
