ok, hes the story: the little light on my speedometer thing that says matieniance required(sorry cant spell) came on so i changed the oil and its still yellow. so what do you think is the problem? also while i was driving today i had to stop and go in some traffic and when i finnally got out my car semmed sluggesh and i look at my temp guage and it was higher then normal but when i started driving again it went back down and it was driving normal. and sometimes when im driving around town and i come to a stop the rpms drop really low where it starts to bog then it rises back up again.... im worried cuz my car is pritty much brand new, it only has 21K miles on it please some body help me to figure out whats wrong cuz im almost about to take off my intake and exaust and put the stock ones back on and take it to honda to let then fix it. oh, i have a 99 sh just in case it matters. thx

 

mine bogs down at idle then rises back up sometimes; it has over 100k on it, though

 

where you see the little light, under it there is a little slot. stick your car key in it and the light will turn green.

 

Check your ECU to see if it's throwing any codes, i think 5g's do that? not sure though.

Like someone said, just stick the key into the slot to turn it back to green.

Sounds normal as well since ur engine wasn't getting any cool air while stuck in traffic. Just chk ur coolant reservior to make sure there is sufficient coolant.

How long have u had the intake and exhaust? Also did u reset the ECU after the install? I bet u didn't right?

Just pull the ECU fuse out and put in back in after a few minutes, start the car and leave at idle for another 15mins( MAKE SURE u don't touch the gas pedal!!) and u should be good to go!

 

a low/bad idle sounds like a bent valve to me; wouldn't explain the overheating, though. You may wanna try flushing the radiator, and checking the lines for buildup.

 

i would check what code its throwing...also the radiator might have a leak in it try to flush it and check the thermostate good luck hope it gets better

What exactly does that do to the computer? My car came with intake, exhaust, and pullies I don't know if that has been done would it be a good idea to do that to my car? If it was already done would it hurt anything to do it again?
