Well, I bought my hatch about a month ago, the first night I got it , I raced my friends Spec V. We were rolling at 40, and I slammed it, it BOUNCED on him, by about 2 lengths, and kept going, then I got to 3rd gear and it like bogged out, and he flew past me. I thought it was something with 3rd gear, but after driving the car for a while now, I have been able to feel it in otehr gears too. What it is, is that its like if I let the car sit for a few hours and then hop in and run it, it runs pretty hard, but once I been driving it for a while, I will be driving at a constant speed and I will feel the car drop down a notch, kinda like bogg, but still stay the same speed. I can really tell if I put it in 5th or 4th and slam the gas you can hear it outa the exhaust. So, I changed my fuel filter, it didn't really help. I just got done changing my fuel pump, that didn't help either, same results. I noticed a tiny pin hole in the vaccuum line to the pressure regulator, so I changed that with a diff line, and it still does the same thing. I pulled all the plugs in the engine and they ALL show the signs of running LEAN. They are white in color instead of a nice brown color. Could it be the pressure regulator that is going bad!? I am about to also change my damn MAIN RELAY, casue I am out of options. NOTE: I have had on occasion where the MAIN RELAY gets stuck and I have to lfick it to get the fuel pump to turn on, but the guy at honda told me that all the main relay has to do with is getting the fuel pump to turn on, once it has turned on, the car will run. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS!?

Just wondering, what ECU is in the car currently?

 

It's a P30 ECU.

 

Alot of views, and no one has any good replies!?

 

Your car is a mess, you've listed different mods on the car in different threads, you don't seem sure what cams are in the car, it's not tuned, you're replacing a bunch of useless bullshit that's costing you tons of money "just in case" it might have something to do with your problem...


Sounds to me like you just bought someone else's poorly built rice project. Are you sure it has a p30 ECU in it? Are you sure the ECU isn't chipped? What cams are really in the car? Are the fuel injectors stock? Is the VTEC engagement point stock? You have a VAFC, what fuel trim changes might you have made?

 

The only reason I changed what the cams were was cause I found out last night that they were CTR. It is DEF a P30 ECU. The VTEC point is 5700. I do not know if the ECU is chipped. And I get alot of these parts for my car for free, because my friend works at a junkyard and my other friend works at the auto parts store. THe engine is stock except for the CTR Cams. Fuel injectors are stock, and the VAFC2 is not installed in the car yet. I am waiting till i can go get it tuned. WTF do you have to come on here and lambaste me for this shit! You could have just givin' me a suggestion on what might be the problem.

 

I put in some good Fuel Injector cleaner, and I ran it real hard and filled up the gas twice, I checked the plugs and they seem to be a browner color now. They used to be white. Maybe its fixed. hmmm

EDIT: I changed the plugs today to soem NGK Iridium's. I figured If I am gonna spend money on some plugs y not just go Iridium.

 

Hey man did the fuel injector cleaner fix you’re problem?
