    CEL Codes Help

    Well I went ahead and completed phase 1 of my comprehensive repair. I removed the cat and installed the test pipe. The car's performance is back to normal for the most part, but I really can't stand the smell. It has gotten to the point where I sometimes have to drive with my windows up. It's...

    CEL Codes Help

    I'll give it a try, shouldn't be too expensive. Some final questions: What brand of test pipe should I get, and does it matter? If I replace my cat with the pipe, the OBD code will stay on. How would I go about tricking the ECU into thinking that nothing's wrong? Does your first post about...

    CEL Codes Help

    I will be getting to work this weekend. But what do you guys recommend for a $500 "everything" budget. Gutting the cat, high flow cat, or OEM? I want to do this the best way possible, under budget, with little "rice" exhaust noise. Thanks again for all input!

    Excuse my ignorance, but how can a VSS code cause sluggishness?

    CEL Codes Help

    Thanks for your response! I'm happy FL has no inspections, whatsoever. No tailpipe or OBD checks. But how would I know whether or not the cat is clogged? And if it is, do you recommend gutting it, getting a new OEM one, or getting a high flow cat?

    CEL Codes Help

    So I have a regular 1998 Accord, and I'm getting these two codes: P0500 -Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) I'm pretty sure that the first one is pretty straightforward. My speedometer just stopped working out of nowhere, so my guess...

    Exedy Clutch?

    I actually found the same Exedy clutch kit for about $90 + $18 shipping on another listing. Thanks for the responses, the reason I was asking is because I saw an OEM clutch kit at TAS Auto for like $140. Yes, it's OEM.

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    UPDATE Sorry about being gone for so long. But I do have an update. I took your advice, Blacknight, and took my 6th gen to the dealer. Long story short, it was my 2P connector or something. They did not find voltage from my 2P connector to my oil pressure switch. They repaired a wiring...

    Front Passenger Wheel Noise

    Those are also the pads that I've replace not even 2 months ago. I drive about 1800 miles per month. So they're still fairly new.

    Front Passenger Wheel Noise

    The front pass. wheel is making a strange noise. Starting yesterday, I started hearing a noise that sounded like an air leak. But starting today, it sounded more like a scraping noise in my brakes. It kinda feels like the brakes might be engaged a little bit. And when I'm on a slight hill, I...

    Stoppin Trunk Rattle

    Is Great Stuff really necessary? I've heard some bad things about it. Can't we just apply some spray, or a deadening mat and call it a day?

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    I'm going to do that in a couple minutes. I'm so desperate right now that I'm actually re-cleaning the solenoid as we speak. The strange thing is, the oil around it still looks as low as before and does not look like yours. Even after changing the oil. Every time I check the dipstick, the oil...

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    Bump. I've searched google for days, and still haven't found anything. The closest I've gotten is another guy with the same problem, who had a huge dent in his oil pan. Well I guess I'm **** out of luck, and vtec. :(

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    They read the right code: P1259. But now they're saying that it has something to do with air fuel monitoring, or something like that. But that's besides the point. How can I check if the solenoid is working? I desperately need help right now. EDIT- I just checked and the only lights that come...

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    Smart man. I didn't even think of that. The bulb is working, but I guess the owners before must've done something stupid to the car. But now I'm stuck and I have no idea what to do. At least the car runs noticeably smoother after that oil change.

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    I changed the oil and put 4.5 quarts of oil (my oil was extremely dirty) and I still have the same problem. Rev limiting at around 4,000 rpm. :( I did not clear the engine light because the light is not on. I think it might be blown or something. Will it make a difference? I'm going to...

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    It didn't work. :( Here are some pics from my phone: And it looks like mine had a lot less oil than yours did. Looks like the only other option is an oil change, because I already added a quart of oil in vain. Should I change the oil before, after, or while I replace my timing belt? Are...

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    Yeah, I read that thread. I feel reassured knowing that I wasn't the only one with this problem. I'm going to be waiting on your instructions. I'll also look into that Haynes manual.

    4,000 rpm rev limiter

    I found out it was a P1259 at Autozone. :( I did some searching and found out the only things that I can really do it taking it to the dealer, changing the oil, or cleaning the gunk around the Vtec solenoid. I'm changing the oil soon, but I was wondering, what is this solenoid and how do I...
