    JFISHTHECREATOR 2002 CG2 EX-L V6

    WHEW, time flies. 2 years have passed since my last post. Busy life I suppose. I ended up replacing the torque converter. That seemed to help a tiny bit. I worked on it here and there, and found quite a few bad connections on the engine wiring harness. So I opted to pull a harness at the...

    JFISHTHECREATOR 2002 CG2 EX-L V6

    Update: I have ordered a transmission pressure test kit. However, I am leaning towards the TCC/shift solenoid A being bad, and or the torque converter itself has failed. I will update this after I have successfully done the pressure test and narrowed down further. I would hope that I wouldn't...

    JFISHTHECREATOR 2002 CG2 EX-L V6

    UPDATE: I have done the timing belt and water pump again, due to the water pump prematurely failing (DAYCO BRAND) I did everything with a gates kit this time. Oil changes every 3-5K miles. Trans fluid every 15K. This last time I changed the trans fluid, everything looked great and pretty much...

    JFISHTHECREATOR 2002 CG2 EX-L V6

    Eventually I plan to have the rust taken care of. Not in the cards right now. As for rims, I am digging the 7th gen wheels I have on it now. As for the suspension, it is a bit low for my taste, I ended up putting in twist-in coil spring spacers to raise it a little. However the ride quality is...

I did, however,get another 6th gen.. grabbed a 2002 accord ex coupe v6. I bought it cheap with a trashed transmission. I rebuilt the...

    Driver/Timing side oil leak

    Welp , here we go again. 1999 LX Sedan F23A1 5MT. I drove this thing over 150 miles(with Bardahls no smoke in oil) to see a DB2 that wanted to trade.I had no issues there , or while he was test driving the car. I drove it home with the oil light coming on , I would turn the car off and coast...

    why is my car smoking?

    I usually don't use stuff like that , but a friend had recommended it. I used to to thicken up the oil because someone had said maybe 5w-20 was too thin. obviously the additive made it way too thick.

    why is my car smoking?

    okay, so i have ran 1 can of seafoam thru the gas tank so far. I also put "BARDAHLS no smoke " in the oil . started running better, still smoking, not as bad, but still smoking. drove 70 miles, and then CEL for o2 sensor and cylinder 3 misfire. so i grabbed a few spark plug wires at...

    why is my car smoking?

    it ran beautifully , but still smoked before i reset the ecu. now - after resetting the ecu - it is back on 3 cylinders i believe(no code set), and blows smoke still - ofcourse, just my luck.

    why is my car smoking?

    i took dizzy cap off, as well as the #3 spark plug wire. cleaned dizzy cap(corrosion on inside - not terrible, and on # 3, and #4 on the outside were corroded.) , and electric taped the whole #3 spark plug wire to eliminate resistance/voltage drop. seems to run on all four cylinders...

    why is my car smoking?

    i started it today, however i did not video it. after letting it warm up , it threw code 73(cylinder 3 misfire).... i assume that is where the oil burning issue is coming from. It has new spark plugs in it, and i cleaned them like 2 days ago, so those are ruled out. only things i could...

    why is my car smoking?

    currently no cel. yeah, i have to top it off. I dont drive it much , but if i take it into the high rpm's it blows a ton of smoke. I put a quart in after 70 ish miles, and that quart only brought it to the lower fill line.

    why is my car smoking?

    nope. coolant level is the same in both the reservoir and the radiator. oil is what is being burnt i presume, the oil level drops, and is gray. the smoke smells like oil/gas.

    f23a1 poor accelleration ,sluggish , code 22

    I will take plugs out and take pictures for your viewing. I drove it , and it seemed to be blueish smoke this time. and it did throw the code after about 2 miles. it ran like garbage and started to die when ever i pushed in on the clutch to stop. back to the drawing board.... Head...

    f23a1 poor accelleration ,sluggish , code 22

    Car still smokes. I reset codes. I put a different vtec solenoid on(not the whole assembly, just the solenoid). I also soldered on a new vtec oil pressure switch harness, the brown wire on mine had a spot that was bare. I only drove it up and down my street (warmed up) , but it entered vtec...
