hi, i have a 98 civic ex coupe d16y8, my car threw a cel today again, and honda said it might be my fuel regulator but they have to run some tests first.

the code was fuel running too rich.

what could cuz this cel and should i go to honda regulator or aftermarket like AEM? what are some good brands for regulators?

thx

 

Increase the psi in your compression

 

What??
Makes no sense man...

If your FPR is bad, there's really no reason to get an aftermarket one unless you're running other fuel mods or you are running mods that would require that you need more/less fuel.

You could get a D16Y8 FPR on ebay or some other used parts sites (like our FS forum) for pretty cheap. Don't let the dealer screw you into buying a new one if you can get a used one somewhere else.

hih

 

i think id buy a new aftermarket one.. buying someone elses used one seems like a gamble to me.. even if it is cheap... he has a used one right now.. a used broken one... i dunno i think its just me.. but i would splurge and buy a nice new one.. so if you do one day decide to mod the car more extensively then you already have the reg..

just my thoughts.. not trying to argue or own.. lol :thumbup:

 

hell, I've got a couple lying around I'm sure.

 

Na, I hear ya man. Good advise except, how would he know how to set the aftermarket FPR and know what it should be set at? h:

If there's no need for one, I think it'd be more of a hassle than it's worth. If you don't want another used one, get a new stock one.

If RedCivic has a used one, pick it up from him. You can also try www.sohfast.com for used parts and www.hparts.com or www.hondaautomotoiveparts.com for new parts.

hih

 

he can buy my B&M gauge.. since i will have an in car autometer one over the next couple weeks.. lol

 

I thought you said buying used parts was a :nono: ? :fawk:

 

there are certain things id buy used... like a gauge.. not something like a reg.. too many parts that could go bad.. :thumbup:
