hey everyone help me out again as I am just lost here!
so recently my gas mileage is really bad! I noticed this month it went down the crapper!
The past threes days I started to notice that I need new brakes and rotors pretty soon!
Somehow the airbox from the intake broke (The one under the fender) just seen it a few days ago!

I'm driving crusing at 45.........then I come up to a red light......I hit the brakes and I see the fuel pressure or the needle on the dash goes down alot!
It comes back up but not at the same level alot lower!
it sucks help me please!

hmmmmm I thought I had posted another comment oh well....

so my MPG went down the crapper.......So I bought one of those Seafoam Deep Creep Spray Can....that other bottle you have to pour in the engine looks to violent for my car!

when it was cold I spayed it in the throttle till it warmed up.........I removed the EGR and also cleaned it with that...i noticed the valve had trouble opening and closing......its smooth now.....also it had so much carbon build up !

Test drive was great that **** where my pressure was dropping is not happening anymore and before my intake was really loud now I can barely hear it......it is not deep anymore.....and it responds quicker and speeds up faster then before!

Went to school and came back quick cause there was no class and the needle hardly moved..............yay I think my MPG is back to normal!!!

Radius, whens the last time you changed out the fuel filter??? Cleaning the throttle is a great things to do to make the honda's run better, good job.

 

you know what I was thinking about that . Note taken changing it tomorrow

anything else I can do?

 

so yea if anyone cares!
I replaced the fuel filter and spark plugs........sprayed some of the seafoam in each cylinder!

This is how my EGR looked before,I forgot to take an after picture.....sorry.
I left it all nice and new looking!


So I took it for a drive in the freeway for about 50 miles came back home.....it was running like new I KID YOU NOT! It gained alot of hp is was missing!! Before my engine was noisey as hell now its smooth and quite!!! I hit 5500 RPM with no problem on 3rd gear !!!!I mean before it would not gain power after like 4000rpm!!!
