Check engine light and OTHER CRAP HELP
Whats up? I bought a car off of ebay and once i got it i find out it might be a piece so thats why im here cause i know there are some people out there who know alot about hondas. Ok well first things first.
The check engine light is on. Now im thinking this could be because of the catalitic converter its hallowed out and it looks like the wire isnt connected but any input on what else it might be would be apprecated. And 2nd the cars exhaust the tip is black its the stock exhaust but you can see blue smoke coming out. Now is this also cause theres not cat or is the engine burning oil. ANY HELP WOULD be apprecated. Also it idles ruff and it has a race ecu. **** IM PISSED Its a b18c if you need to know. Please if you have any input that is usefull please help cause after what is happening im not sure if i EVER wanna own an import again but i hope thats not the case.

you should not have doubt in this assumption. it is not mere speculation but it is fact - ebay cars = crap.

dont do any thinking, we have already found out you are not good at that... thinking resulted with you purchasing this vehicle last time and we definetly dont want a repeat. pull codes and see what the problem is instead of guessing.

blue smoke means you are burning oil. if there is no cat then yes, that is making the black residue on your exhaust.
