    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...
