Re: P0300 random misfire LIM?

The LIM wasnt too bad but it needed to be done...i only blew out one water jacket and both coolant elbows were leaking past the o-rings lol and no coolant in my oil, i changed it just to be safe but it looked the same as it did 50 miles ago. i only took a few pictures but, its ...

Re: intake gasket failure diagnosis

first off if u still have that nasty oil in the car DRAIN IT NOW, and when you get the LIM off wash the the block out with fresh oil to try to dilute/flush the old oil out. when coolant and oil mix they become very acidic and it thickens the oil and will mess up all your seals and then you will just ...

Re: P0300 random misfire LIM?

i checked the dipstick and inside the valvecover and didnt see anything out of the ordinary so i didnt feel like draining fresh oil(its two weeks old with like 40-50 miles). is there a possibility i caught it just in time? heres some pics http://s483.photobucket.com/user/Dong_Johnson/library/

Re: Surging Question

when your driving will it die if u slow down to quickly, like stopping at stop sign quickly?? if so try cleaning the IAC (idle air control valve) that would explain all of your issues.... its what regulates the amount of air going to the motor at idle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST0qUTAztPk

Re: NEW CPS (by Shop) now runs rough/dies after hot

@spoiledred94

I think I know what your issue is...there was another member(beamer) having essentially the same problem. What is happening is that you have a bad coil back feeding to your ICM and frying it prematurely and causing a rough idle and dieing problem...The CPS was probably coincidental ...

Re: Shudder/vibration at launch acceleration

I think crash93ssei is on to something...the way that shop determined the subframe "is twisted" doesn’t necessarily mean the frame is twisted. did the shop measure the cv axles to make sure they had not come apart?

I worked on a 98' CRV with the same issue, i thought it was the wheel bearing ...

Re: ICM's keep burning out

i dont want to tell you to replace the coils..because i dont wanna feel responsible if that doesnt help. i would start by looking at the plugs and wires looking for corrosion, burnt spots, or just anything out of the ordinary. then check your cam and crank sensor (they wont always throw a code) they ...

Re: ICM's keep burning out

I believe there is another ignition issue causing a misfire and killing your ICM I.E. plugs, wires, camshaft position sensor...ETC

Re: A/C Compressor leakage

I recently went through almost the same thing...I took it to a shop first to have the system charged with leak detection refrigerant (UV responsive dye) and diagnosed. I was then quoted $750 for parts and labour, long story short i did the repairs myself for around $225, granted I own a vacuum pump ...
