hell, i won't make that mistake again.
so what the hell is this damn i-VTEC stamped on the RSX cylinder head?
As for the dealership, they overnighted an 02 sensor. They claim it was bad. Since the 02 sensor is down on the cat, I imagine that could have something to do with the dirty exhaust tip.
Also, they checked the PFM computer or some shiit and was able to see when the car stalled on her under what conditions. Damn thing stalled on her two times one day going about 35 mph.
They were also able to tell her "you drive this thing hard, don't you?"

The i stands for intelligent. The ECU is a bit of a tattletale, from my understanding.
