engine problem (ill try my best to explain)

will any tranny fluid work to put back in?

Kind of. You gotta be carefull cuz some tranny fluids are designed for transmissions that don't have yellow metals etc and could eat through certain parts. Just gotta make sure the fluid is compatible first and then any brand will work.

Just grab some honda MTF or ATF whichever one you need, then theres no doubt and the new stuff is pretty good I put it in my MT and love it.

ok so i was told it was my cat and i needed a new one and i had an exhaust leak. well i got a high flow test pipe and greddy evo 2 exhaust and still the same problem. does anyone have any ideas as whats going on. also the guy didnt put the 02 sensor in the cat. he said i have to go and pull out slack and put it in. will this cause teh car to still do this?

i wish i seen that 02 extension ealier.............but that should be the problem that your o2 sensor isnt hooked up to ya test pipe.....mine isnt either currently and i never had that short of problem

i agree that shouldnt be the problem. honda said it might be the egr valve or the trottle bottle. but idk how to get the egr valve off. i barely got any tools so i cant figure out how to remove it. also if i tried to pull some slack out from the o2 sensor do you think there will be enough there to reach my cat?

naw if you got a test pipe and its pointing down your outta luck same situation im in....i just ordered a set of o2 extensions from that site that blkcurrankkord posted they are out of stock and have to order them......yea i was thinking egr valve somehow it made my car run similiar to that but not to that extent......you should be able to take it off wit a socket i think its only like 2 bolts....not hard to do.......i picked up a used one for cheap on ebay.........or with throttle body cleaner spray and clean yours..but your betta off buying another egr.......good luck.....for you and your tranny since u ran it with no fluid

Have you checked the distributor cap? I have had the same thing happen to me once and it was just a distributor cap. Also, check the plugs and wires.

here is an update. the transmission is slipping in 2nd and 3rd gear slightly. but honda said thats not the problem and they dont know what it is. that i had to bring it back again. screw that. but i noticed when i drive and the car does this im in vtec every time. i got a vtec light that shows me. so could i have a vtech problem???
