  1. Problems & Solutions RSX
    In my 06 Type-S I’m hitting the gas light at around 220 miles on a full tank while driving economically. I’m posting the list of mods I have on the car that I think would affect MPG and I just wanted your guy’s input on why it might be so crappy. My assumption is that it’s my AEM Short Ram...
  2. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hey guys, i've had this problem since the day I bought my car and I initially thought it was the smell of burning oil and since then i've fixed the small oil leak that I previously had. Whenever I get in my car and roll down the windows I get this horrendous burning smell, it almost smells like...

  6. Problems & Solutions RSX
    So I have a 2002 RSX Type S with only a Injen CAI, Innovative Motor Mounts and Coil overs. I have no check engine lights that come on, except for when I'm in a high gear and press on the gas harder the check engine light will flicker for a few seconds. I use 91 gas either Shell or Chevron. On my...

    my 04' types makes me 150 miles (90% city- 10% highway) per tank i was fine with that until i saw people saying the get up to 350 miles on their tanks, so i checked my fuel trims and LTFT sits at -16 and STFT oscillates between -14 - 2. i live in a very hot place 25C-45C(77F-115F) also humid as...
  8. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hello, This problem is for a 2006 CR-V (k24) but I figure it's similar enough to the RSX, especially the engine and ecu. I've been getting poor MPG even though I drive VERY conservative. My mechanic said it might be running rich if the thermostat is stuck open. I used my obd2 to check and it...
  9. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I have a 06 type s. It has been getting really bad mpg this past week, I'm not sure why but I've changed my oil about 2 weeks ago, spark plugs changed about 5k miles ago, cabin air filter looks clean, intake filter is probably dirty but it wouldn't affect the mpg by much i dont think. but i...
  10. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hello, I recently acquired a RSX-S as my first car ( 16th birthday ), and I noticed I was getting horrible gase miles. I drove 100 miles since Sunday, shifting @ 3000, and I am at half a tank. Any idea on what is causing me to get like 15mpg? :thumbsdow I don't really have a heavy foot :vtec...
  11. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hey y'all. So, the RSX runs again after the new engine harness, and the stock ECU reprogramed. But, I took it yesterday on it's 1st long drive sine I got it back. I was at full tank and 80 miles latter, I was down to half a tank of gas. (I don't have vetch since I'm a base auto. lol) I stopped...
  12. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hey guys, new here; I bought an 2004 base about 4 months ago and its been getting about 240 miles per tank. I realized it was pretty bad when type s models were getting better mpg. It has a stock airbox, and what I believe is an ebay catback with a high flow cat. The previous owner changed the...
  13. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I bought my rsx about a year and a half ago with 98k on it. It now has almost 117k and lately the gas mileage on it has been fairly terrible since when i first got it. When i got it i was easily getting about 300 miles off one take but now im getting at most about 260 before the light turns on...

  15. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Just bought a 2002 base rsx and I'm getting way below the expected miles per tank and I have no idea what the problem is. I'm a new rsx owner and a total noob. Maybe I need. Tune up? I'm getting a new cold air intake soon but that's all I plan on doing so far.
  16. Hybrid & Swaps EP3
    I completed my k24a4 swap with an intake and the stock 270cc injectors, ep3 tranny with a 4.3 final drive. And i'm averaging 25 mpg. (85/15 hwy/city). I'm using a Ultra Gauge to monitor tps, eng. load and instant mpg. City driving, its real horrible 9-14 mpg with light moderate throttle in...
  17. ECU Tuning RSX
    Has anyone tuned their RSX for better gas mileage? I did this on my 02 grand prix gtp where I increased cruise timing up to 40* advance. Are their any perf mods that don't ruin my mpg but actually increase it? This is for my 2006 RSX base model. TIA
