My 06 type S that I bought a year ago is getting me very bad gas mileage (15-16L/100km) and I have no idea why. My mods are Injen CAI with K&N filter, chipped ECU and a custom exhaust line with headers, cat delete and a dynomax muffler, so technically I should be doing pretty good. Still, my...

Alright so I just picked up my 02 Type S a few weeks ago. When I got the car I noticed the poor gas mileage, I'd say around 17MPG. I was aware of a bad primary oxygen sensor when I went to advanced auto they scanned it for me and it also had a map sensor code.(I can go back and get the numbers)...

So, I am fairly new when it comes to my ep3. I bought it about a month and a half ago and when I got it had a CAI on it and the VAFC II on it as well. I wasnt too sure about what the VAFC II was but the car was running good and didnt have any problems. Where I live it rains a TON during the...

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I see people say it a lot and was wondering what this meant.

Car started to run rich maybe a day or two ago but now the car idles between 1700-2000 RPM in fast heartbeat like pulses and when in gear anywhere below 3k RPM the car chokes. Injectors? Pump? It seems like a fuel issue. Any thoughts? I/Kpro/E

I am trying to help my son out with his car. It is a stock 02 except he installed a header and removed the cat in the process. There is now only one o2 sensor connected and it does throw codes (not sure which ones) but that would be expected. While he is saving up to do the job right ( cat...

Hey guys, lately when I've been driving I occasionally smell a weird burning smell and when my friends drive behind me they say they see black smoke coming out of my exhaust. I was told it's running rich. I checked my oil this morning when it was cold and it was low and black and I changed my...

:(went to auto zone to get my check engine light diagnosed, they said I was running rich, I replaced my upper o2 sensor before the check engine light popped, any thoughts? I got better gas mileage which is strange, also my idle sometimes fluctuates when my ac is on. hope you guys can help! thank...

Alright today I had exhaust put on, 2.5" from the header back, 18" resonator, and no cat. I used two spark plug defoulers and now my car smells like someones cooking. It likes to idle at like 500 rpms and acts like it wants to die. Any way around this without putting cat back on? Oh yeah and...

I re-build my K20 last summer, increased the compression to 11:1, with Carillo pistons and rods, stage two cams, with RBC intake, and Hytech header. I have a Kpro and the engine was tuned on a Dyno. The car has been running impeccably, however recently I have noticed considerable more residue at...

2003 Type-S - AEM V2 - DC Shorty Header - Megan Downpipe - Skunk2 70mm Cat-Back Is the only way to fix my A/F ratio to buy K-Pro or is there another way?

Ey guys I have a question sorry if I sound like a noob and such but I recently read a thread where a Rsx owner was running too lean because of the mods he had on his car at least that's what I understood and I wanted to know what do those terms actually mean too rich and too lean? How do u know...

02 base MT I have a stock ECU. Stock intake. Will the header along with test pipe and 06 Type S exhaust make it run rich without K-Pro? I know the test pipe comes with a smell (had it b4 the exhaust upgrade), but after i installed the Type S exhaust i can smell something different, sort of like...

My car is running rich sputters at low rpms and cuts off on cold starts. Took off my spark plugs and they were blacked out, when i accelerate at high speeds 80-100mph the car smokes like hell. I had a sputtering issue a few months ago and i changed the map sensor and that helped the sputtering...

first thing, I picked up the Bluetooth obd2 reader and using the torque app on Android. It is amazing... I am still having an issue with my p0172 light. So I changed my iat sensor and my o2 primary. With the torque app I can see much more numbers but have no clue what to look for and how to...

Hello all-- I just purchased a 2002 RSX-S with an aftermarket turbo and a recently swapped stock engine. The previous owner related to me that he suspects one or more sensors may not be communiciating properly with the computer after the engine swap (which, I'm told, is when the problems...
