    JDM F23A swap

    I apologise if this has been gone over but I'm currently looking into swapping my F23A1 for a JDM F23A after a little incident involving a large puddle, no fender liner and no intake baffle. After some googlefu it looks like I'll have to swap over my current intake and exhaust manifolds as well...

    Fuel Flow Issues

    I got the idle issues fixed but now I'm not getting enough fuel up to the engine. When I hit about 4000 RPM in neutral the entire car starts shaking and the fuel trims shoot way up trying to get more fuel to the engine. I have already replaced both the FPR and the pump. The only other thing I...

    ABS Motor Lock code: 51

    While I wait for my car to get in at the mechanic I would like to fix some of the other issues it has. One of which is the ABS system. Using a paperclip in the OBD port I got it to flash the code 51: ABS Motor Lock. The car had been hit up in the corner by the ABS modulator (i think that's what...

    Car overheating when stopped

    My 2002 Accord with an F23A1 and MT overheats when its not moving. The bottom radiator hose does get hot so the thermostat is working and the fan switch was kicking on at 240° so I bypassed it with a paper clip for now. (New switch arrives tomorrow) So even with both fans always on the car still...

    Hood Gap

    I bought my 02 Accord coupe about 2 months ago and one thing that's been bugging me ever since I got it was the hood gap. The car was in a minor collision in 2004 and who ever redid the front end did a very pathetic job to say the least. The left side of the hood (looking at the front of the...

    Major clutch problems

    Every now and then my clutch wouldn't fully engage when I first start the car but everything would be fine by the time I got to the end of the driveway but tonight it didn't go away. Instead it progressively got worse and until the clutch did nothing at all. So I stopped and waited about 15...

    Weird idle issues

    I recently bought a new (to me) 6GA it's a 2002 coupe with a M/T. It seems to run fine except when idling once its warmed up. RPMs are around 750 which seems normal but it has a bit of an irregular shake to it and if you listen to the exhaust it sounds like it has a misfire but it doesn't have...

    This is my second 6GA the first being a 98 that this will soon replace. It’s a 2002 EX Coupe with an F23A1 and a 5 speed transmission. This is it about 5 minutes after driving it back from Columbus and about 5 minutes before my mom would tell me that I bought a piece of junk. The car only had...

    Car revs to 5000 then seems to hit rev limiter

    Today on my way home from work i noticed the car wouldn't go past 5000 RPM. I took it easy until I got home and noticed it was low on oil (just barely showing on dip stick) so i put in the rest of what I had which brought it up to where it should be but it still wont rev past 5000 RPM. I think...

    98 Accord misfires when floored

    I have a 98 Accord LX with the 2.3L engine and an automatic transmission. Before I get into the details of the misfires let me give you some possibly relevant backstories. About a month ago the CEL came on with the code P1491 (EGR valve insufficient lift) but after about a week the light went...

    Engine Cutting Out

    I have a 98 Accord LX with a 2.3L I4 with a little over 235,000 miles on it. About 6 weeks ago my car's engine just started cutting out for anywhere from a fraction of a second to 3 seconds. Then the RPMs would come back up (if it didnt completely die) and it would be running fine again. I...
