It's a VTEC. Shame the tractor is blocking the view.

Number plate was the clincher for me

Hope this one works out for you. It's a shame about the other one, did you get any refund on that?

Muffin` · 21 Sep 2013 at 18:15

Nah, just life innit. I'm now worried about it making less power than the old one! #FWP

That's no good mate, but it's one of those things I guess. I doubt it'll make less power, just make sure the bedding is done correctly and take it easy.

On my accord it turned out to be the main shaft bearing that went pop and started jumping around in the gearbox. No wonder gears went hard. I'm certain the engine was fine. Needless to say guy I sold it to broke it.

No advisories on FN2 MOT, it can stay for another year.

My car sounds like a trotting horse

EML keeps coming on. Pulled the ecu fuse and now it's gone off. Will take it for a drive later and see if it comes back on.

WTF is that

What an odd sound!

Clarkey · 22 Sep 2013 at 20:04

It's a misfire. Is that not obvious?

Vita · 22 Sep 2013 at 20:05

I was thinking misfire too, sounds a lot like one.

L0rdMike · 22 Sep 2013 at 20:15

Why dont you get a code reader see what the problem is?

Misfiring like that will kill the cat (if it has one )

No.

Had one plugged in but it didn't show any codes.

Johnnytoxic · 22 Sep 2013 at 23:28

Must have a code if the EML is on

rjk · 23 Sep 2013 at 00:28

Very odd. You checked your plugs?

ChrisD. · 23 Sep 2013 at 06:52

If he pulled the fuse it will reset the EML and any codes stored.

ci_newman · 23 Sep 2013 at 09:59

So considering it is a Honda, I'm hedging my bets on it being a dying / dead lambda sensor

Had a clutch fitted and then the light came on. Took it back to the garage and they plugged a reader in and there were no codes. Light goes off. A few days later light comes back on. Thats when I pulled the fuse. I'll check the plugs etc this week. Will be due some new ones anyway.

When was the last time you had the valve clearances checked/adjusted?
