Did you empty the catch can? Is it between the valve cover and the intake? If your sucking shit into the intake from the can you might as well be sucking water into the motor. It could also throw a code like you have. EMPTY IT, change the plugs, then drive it.


"Why are you running Uberdata and now e-manage? Crome is the way to go...

Get rid of the e-manage piggyback bullshit, aside from AEM... Crome is the only other management I would rec. for a honda."

you forgot Hondata, the best.....

I would think injectors last. What size do you have? If they are bad I have some rc330's if you need some with the clips.

Fuel filter has been replaced. Still no go How much would you part with your injectors because the ones i have right now are the rc310's. But i think i am going to order 440's today. You think I can try those injectors and see if that helps me fix my problem. I will try and empty the catch can today and see what happens.

dimp the can first before you do anything. Do one thing at a time. The can, the plugs then move on. Did you check the distributor cap yet?

Do not advance the timing on a boosted engine wihtout tuning it. Good way to blow your shit up right there.
