Are you sure the oil leaks aren't just valve cover gaskets and / or VTEC solenoid gaskets? If so you can do those yourself without a lot of swearing...

Is the show also still on Today? I might make a spin down there with my '91 which I will park well away from everyone! ;-)

For mine it turned out to be a failing but not failed fuel pump. I noticed that the car was taking a long time to start, where it normally kicked right over. After installing a fuel pressure gauge the pressure was averaging 30 lbs where a healthy pump should generate around 40 lbs. The low fuel...

To answer your question yes, a fully flat battery or one that won't take a charge will do this. If it's only been flat once you may be able to charge it, but if not you'll need to swap in a new one. For storage, if you have access to an outside window where you store your car you can get a...

could be. I have no idea when they put the aftermarket pump in, but it may be that it failed prematurely as it looked fairly new. I trust the parts from Honda Japan that lasted 30+ years.

I was trying to read the gauge without my glasses on. In checking Today the pressure shows over 40 at idle: It's like a new car. I don't think it ran this well when I took delivery last year. You could previously feel a little blip when it went to VTEC, where now it's just a smooth power band...

From the picture it looks like the stud on the right side is shorter. You can measure those to confirm. If that's the case then it's possible / likely that the right stud got turned, so turning it counter clockwise may sort it out. I'd put a couple of layers of painters tape over the jaws of...

It could also be that you got the collar upside down on that side. Take the cover off and confirm that you have them both on correctly. I seem to recall I did the same once and was scratching my head for a few minutes...

About 38 at idle

I don't think so, but I'll be swapping those in the spring just to be thorough :cool: Fred

It couldn't have been too many, as the car only has 48K on it. My guess is they upgraded the stock pump to the higher flow pump to get better fuel pressure. Otherwise I have no idea how they could have worn out the stock pump in so few miles? Now I have a gauge for that, so going forward I'll...

Just sharing here in case anyone else hit this issue. Big thanks to user BTL3.0 for all the help and selling me coil packs! A few months ago I was on my way to a car show and the check engine light lit up. I was in the far left lane in 5th, but I managed to get to a nearby exit and shut down...

I would almost sell my house before I'd sell this car

The old simple cars like mine are tanks. Everything in between is questionable. I look at most modern American cars and think "rental car".
