kool thanks

 

do you mind if I jump on your band wagon? I am throwing a code 2, the idle is fine but when throttling up it kinda skips, hesitates, and in the high RPM's- forget it! Any ideas? just had the bitch tuned, new timing belt, new cap, need to get a new rotor....
thanks!

 

code #2 - problem with secondary O2 sensor. Sounds like your car is running in 'limp' or 'safe' mode.

Try resetting the ecu and if the code comes back, you might need to replace your secondary O2 sensor.

btw, here's a link to all the CEL codes:

this may be a dumb question , how do u reset an ECU ?

 

dont u take off the postivie end of the battery

 

A surefire way to check if it's running in safe mode is a loss of power and it'll run full rich all the time, because it is running off of the minimal sensor inputs, just tach input and throttle position...

 

Just disconect your battery for a little bit.

 

dam..dont have to leave out for an hour..pull fuse leave out for 30 seconds and put it back in...

by the way i have a brand new IACV for sale if you need one..200 bucks from acura ..holla at me and we can talk
