Re: my valves are ticking pretty loud - will this affect engine performance?
because when vtec engages i get a misfire but out only when vtec engages i would have to slow down and let the rpm drop to around two thousand rpms so i can continue driving. and when i do let the rpm drop i hear a clicking noise inside the heads near the vtec solenoid

Also you have a habit of starting posts and not answering questions looking at all your previous posts. You never answered a lot of the previous questions put to you.

That's what I thought. Maybe if you would answer some of the questions asked of you before you wouldn't be going on a third month of these problems.

Re: my valves are ticking pretty loud - will this affect engine performance?
i hope some one out there can help me if not i am quitting the game and buying a truck. I have a 93 honda civic with a b16 motor. I have bisimoto header, skunk2 stage one cams, aem short intake, and apex exhaust, rc310 injectors, and s100 hondata. my problems misfire when vtec engage, run very rich, idles at 2000 rpm and on take off its feels like its bucking. this is what i have tried new distributor, change map o2 tps coolant temp. sensor, had the whole engine harness remove and had all wires soldier together that was twisted or broken, and had the chip removed. Still have the same problems runs even worse and now i got six engine codes 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 22. i will not put the shop on blast but if they cant fix it on friday i will. so help
can anyone tell me why my car wont start with a stock ecu. i had a chip ecu with s100 hondata but someone stole out of my car so i got a stock ecu for my car check engine come on right away and does not turn off i cant even get a code from it by the the ecu is p28 and i have b16 with basic bolt on nothing major
My head is numb.

You don't have good reading comprehension. Why you choose NOT to answer questions is beyond me. Good luck getting it fixed.

That's gonna be one mighty big repair bill if they actually fix all your problems.
Assuming you actually have those problems, with the amount of potential help and advice you've been offered and ignored, I'm starting to think your car is fine, and you just like to complain.
That's it! Don't worry about it guys, his car's fine. If it was actually in need of fixing, he would be cooperating.

Do yu still have all of the check engine lights??
Do you still have the hondata ecu?
Now on the ticking. Have you adjusted the valves? it could also be the LMA's.

Did you clear the ECU after cleaning the IACV?
What exactly did inline four do? What did they re-wire?
Cars can be difficult, and a Honda can be a bitch to figure out. They are either your best friend or your enemy. it may take a while to figure this out, hell, I am having issues with my car right this second.

doubt you'll get your money back from I4. but you can try.
i doubt you've done any of the things you've been told since you haven't even answered the things you were asked. get one single post calm straight story so we can find out just where exactly you are.

Re: my valves are ticking pretty loud - will this affect engine performance?
finally found the freakin problem bent valves. all the money i spent on rewiring the engine harness, different distributors, ecu, so many other things i could have bought a k motor set up.
