Heheh.. Oh. I don't know if that was right or not. Which timeslip? on the CX page? My civic ran the 17.95. That was with the wrong ECU, injectors and 2 codes with a CEL. I was a little anxious to see what it would do.

Oh... I guess I didn't post the "after" timeslip. That was with the old CX motor. I'd better snap a pic of the "after" run before the ink fades into obscurity. My bad.

Something tells me you've done more maintenance to this car than you're telling us. But if it just started doing all this by itself, I've heard of stranger things happening. I know someone that did the thing I listed above to someone else as a practical joke. Wasn't very funny.
This happened to me, I had the connectors switched or so I think. I'm still working on the car, but I'm pretty sure that's what the problem was. What colors are the wires that go to each connector on the harness? If someone can check for sure it would set my mind at ease. I still haven't fuigured this one out because no matter how I try to reset the code it still comes back after a few seconds after turning on the ignition.
