^i have about 200k on the motor...so that corrosion seems excessive to you? i thought it was just normal buildup but if you guys say otherwise than i may need to look more into it...

Elvis, you fabricate? right on!

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 09:36 PM

I just decided that fabricate is a big word

I know what you mean Renata...you leave for a day and you miss out on pages of posts. It's kinda funny...

I have 200k miles on mine and it doesn't look like that...or anywhere close to that. Just some light carbon build up and dust...

Yeah it is a primary honda shop but they know their ****... they built a really sick white MR2 recently

deucegirl03 · 02-16-2009, 09:37 PM

I try to, often times I find myself Mcguyver'ing things together. And its usually not pretty lol

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 09:52 PM

Haha...that sounds like me. Except it always like that...

It's possible Renata...What do your exhaust pipes look like and is there any smell to your exhaust?

deucegirl03 · 02-16-2009, 10:12 PM

oh yeah she def runs rich.
i thought that this was the problem but i guess its a symptom of the problem.
any thoughts? these cars prone to fuel issues i should know of (will search a lil later)

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 10:15 PM

Richards runs really rich also. Could be a number of things. EGR system, bad O2 sensor, MAP sensor issues...we can look at it on Sunday and figure it out I'm sure...

deucegirl03 · 02-16-2009, 10:18 PM

yes that would be lovely.
i have a few more things to do before she is up and running but i should be able to drive her down on sunday. if so i would love the help in troubleshooting.

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 10:21 PM

We all love a good challenge. We'll be doing the same thing with Richards...and I'm guessing you might have similar issues...

mr.asian.m2 · 02-16-2009, 10:26 PM

i give up guys. will try again tomorrow. thanks again mark and mixxer.

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 10:38 PM

Sorry Frankie

mr.asian.m2 · 02-16-2009, 10:41 PM
