okay, so I've readjusted the TPS to where it needs to be, verified that it does, in fact go to 100% when I go WOT.

Still same deal, it's hard to start, but when it starts she idles good. And she's got some low rpm studdering. If I ease the throttle she'll go up in the RPM band and will be pretty good.

WTF this is mind boggling

 

so you have cel for an 02?

 

p1156 is a generic scan tool code for map sensor circuit malfuction, with engine off key on does the map and baro sensor readings match??

If you have the hook up or know someone at the honda dealer get the real codes stored...

 

i was having similar issues with the studdering my mechanic replaced the throttle body and it all went away it idles perfect and got rid of like 2 codes i was getting.

 

drhonda, yeah but it's a secondary o2, i didn't think it'd matter much considering the second o2 is for emissions purposes.

SIRcoupe, I haven't checked it, but when I did a search on the CEL I got a "fuel sender" something something. I didn't think it'd had anything to do with the map or baro.

I'll check it out tomorrow and report back. Thanks for the help

 

you might want to check your cat for any blockage fouling or breaking apart.

 

DJ I already checked that, no go.

Map and Baro are good.

I'm thinking it's the fuel pump. I pulled the fuel line and turned the key on and the fuel pump doesn't seem that strong. Or maybe cause I'm just used to walboro's I've got a 255 on order for the EP should be in in a few days.

Hopefully that's the culprit

 

what do your plugs look like?

I look here for the error codes....

http://www.clubrsx.com/clubep3/errorcodes.html

you sure the code was not p1159?

 

yeah I'm sure that's not the code. I have a code reader, so I've been checking it. Fuel pump should be in Monday. This one's gone to the back burner for the moment

 

Okay got the pump in, and I took out the back seat, took the cover off and the locking ring for the fuel pump assembly. OK WTF is this shiz? I can't seem to get it out, and there are springs everywhere.

What was honda thinking?

Anyone got an install thread for me?

 

Yeah after looking at some other posts, it seems like my fuel pump cage is broken...maybe that's what was wrong ha ha. I didn't know the fuel pump was set up like this. It's weird, I wonder why they didn't stick to the regular design. Anyway I still can't get the damn assembly out though. Anyone got some tips?

 

Okay, got the pump in, and no the bitch doesn't want to start at all.

I can hear the pump priming, and pulled the quick disconnect to confirm fuel flow. It does look healthier at this point from last time, but now she won't start.

So I sprayed carb cleaner into the intake manifold and she starts and idle. But won't run off her own power. WTF this car is so ****ing stupid.

Sorry for the language I've been dealing with this POS for too long. I checked the injector circuit and they both have power, referring the manual this should be correct.

I don't have noid lights to confirm if they are in fact spraying.

Someone please help, I don't know what else to do anymore besides blowing this POS up.

 

replaced injectors today with some accord one's I had lying around, still nothing....I know it's a fuel issue; there is fuel in the rail, and it's a new pump, but why aren't the injectors firing? I've replaced injectors and still nothing.

WTF?

 

(sigh) main relay is good too. Is there an issue with ECU's going bad? I don't know anyone with K-pro to check with. Man I hope someone chimes in, I'm about to pull my hair outta my skull and jump through a set of flaming hoops doused in gasoline (or e85 cause i'm cheap)
