Whats up--

Today I washed my car and specifically the engine bay, covered up the important stuff of course. Afterwords, I went to fire it up and immediatley got a CEL. I tried to jump the connector and check the code, but all that would happen was my CEL would stay ON. I don't understand...

I am not getting VTEC, and I can still take the RPMS up high like usual.

My girlfriend lives about 2 hours away and after I drive to her house, by the time I get there my car hesitates and sometimes throws a CEL. I have tried to check it and have had the same problem as stated above- the CEL just stays on and doesn't blink. I think that this is an O2 sensor problem, not related to today's CEL.

Setup is 91 accord EX, JDM h22, h23 tranny, p13 ECU (unmodified), N2 header, stock accord exhaust.

What do you guys think? VTEC solenoid? Why am I not able to pull codes? I also tried to reset the ECU by pulling the ECU and Back Up fuses for 20 minutes, the CEL came back on immediatley.

 

bring it to j-ville and we can take a look at it. i had a similar problem. i could take rev to normal redline but i had no vtec engagaement. one of the wires was inadvertenly pulled from the connector. i didn't throw a cel though.

 

Thanks Steve,

My connector is messed up so I jumped it in the back of the plug. Pulled code 6, I guess I pulled an ECT sensor wire loose or something. I will have to check it out tommorrow.

OT: I have been reading about those springs and I think that they would actually sit lower on the prelude.
You are welcome to try them out still, I don't know if I can make it up this weekend but maybe sometime next week... Hopefully I start selling cars at the Toyota dealer on Monday because I am broke as a joke.

Test and tune starts next Thursday night at CPD.

 

that is the accord on those springs.

 

i also was checking out the springs today and came to the same realization, i have decided to go with h&r sport springs, thanks anyway. so are you planning on going to costal plains next thurs?
