I just popped the hood and heard it myself--a small, unmistakeable hiss from around my IM. My VICS actuator was easily pushed open and seemed to hold no vacuum so now I know where to start digging

I got some readings regarding my fuel trim, and it's not looking good. I only collected data while driving around, and not stationary. STFT was bouncing all around, but only rose above 8% at very low engine speeds (around 1.5krpms and lower, I believe). LTFT stayed at 25% (overwhelmingly lean...

Nice n'clean... Do you have a way to measure fuel trims, perchance? I want to compare, if possible

Thanks! Trust me, it's much more ghetto looking up close. I simply ziptied it to the grille behind it, since I didn't want to drill into the bumper. A unique combination of laziness and desire to not wreck the bumper :^)

P0171: The Plan P0171 is not an intermittent code for me anymore. Something's legitimately wrong with my car now, and I've got to fix it before racing day. There are, generally speaking, three possibilities behind this code: Vacuum system Fuel system O2 Sensors How this is determined is by...

Hello guys, as stated, this is a bit of a sanity check. Should I expect P0171 (system too lean) to come on more often if I have a cold air intake installed on the car? If so, I probably shouldn't be too concerned, but am still investigating other causes.

Holy smokes, definitely a crappy way to end a day. Good luck on the transmission swap

Huh, so it's intermittent with you too? Is it a known or common problem? Well, if that's the case, next time it comes on, I'll clear the code and see what happens. Thank goodness mine isn't that nasty; I took a look at it last year, and the only particulates in the way of the sending unit cap...

Hella flush!!

I think I'll hit it before raceday next week, since I have all the necessary parts and tools. Shouldn't be too bad.In typical P5 fashion, code P0171 disappeared again, because of course it did :^) I drove the vehicle hard a couple more times these past few days, and still did not get the car to...

Cel #4 My old enemy returns yet again -- P0171 I've sprayed down the MAF with inconclusive results, checked the PCV valve for the characteristic rattle (which it had), replaced my OEM air intake system with a CAI and ensured no leaks were anywhere, and it returns! It's very intermittent, but...

I'm right there with you man, hope that BOV sets everything straight. Do tell how that shifter feels though, as it's a really pretty piece!

Man, the more I see those AWR rear swaybars, the more curious about them I get. Hypothetically, if I install the RB front swaybar and max out the stiffness of the AWR one in the rear, shouldn't that give me less overall body roll without causing awful understeer? Must be something to test in the...

Glad I could give you some ideas! Just be prepared for that lower support arm that holds up the IM behind the engine. Those bolts are on so tight; took almost all of my might to bust them. Thanks man! Boy howdy I can't wait until it finishes re-learning how to run. Already, I love the...

MP3 ECU + VTCS-less IM Installation I got my car today, and I quickly began working as soon as I got home. With my VTCS-less IM, gaskets, and ECU set aside on that chair, it was finally time. Beginning the job was easy! All I had to do was disconnect the battery, remove the stb, disconnect...

No word from my mechanic on the car being ready :^/ Sounds like things are going to be pushed back to tomorrow.

Haha I know, I'll get it done as soon as my car's out of the shop, which should be today :^) However, if you do want to be unique, you could leave the letters as-is, since every Honda boy *files down the letters

Very nice! Are you going to file off the paint on the letters for that standout look, or are you keeping it as-is?

On Wednesday, I sent the car in to the shop to finally get my head stud problem addressed. I've been sitting on this problem for almost half a year, and may have lost some degree of power and MPG because of this. With the way things are going, looks like I'll get my car back Monday instead of...

Congrats on the engagement! Glad you have someone that'll let you blow cash on an otherwise expensive hobby.
