Sup! I am new to hondatech, if you guys are as helpful as the peeps that were on superhonda it would be my pleasure to chat with you guys. I have a problem with my 99civic si. I have 55,000 miles on my car and my engine check light came on a little while back. It turned off again just recently and then my oil light started blinking on and off. I put in an extra quart of oil in and the oil light blinked again about 500 miles after that. My oil change isnt due until 56,000 miles. Also, my car bogs everytime i floor it past 6500rpm. Any input from anybody knowledgable would help. Appreciate it...

 

How is your oil level? do you have any leaks. you're definitely having oil pressure problems and could be related to the 6500 Rpm bog. MIL was probably from not enough oil pressure to activate VTEC

 

no visable leakage from outside the engine.. i think its burning up inside the engine somehow. anybody know why its doing that?
