  1. Car pulling to the left after an alignment and new tires

    Did you verify tire pressures first? If there's even just 1 or 2 PSI difference in one of the rears, it will pull.
  2. Car loses power check engine light flashing

    Running lean - there might be a bad injector? I don't think it would be a fuel pump, because P2187 is specifically an OBDII lean fuel mixture at idle code. You don't need much pressure to idle, but if an injector is dirty, there's going to be a lump in the crank revolution where it's not...
  3. No boost / no engine codes

    Oh.. I guess I could've kept reading the thread before replying. Buuut, a little googling just returned me back to the forum. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/2020-si-wastegate-actuator.71854/
  4. No boost / no engine codes

    I'd be checking the wastegate. The actuator has probably malfunctioned. I assume it will fail-open so it doesn't blow up.
  5. "Upgraded" Climate Control Install

    Honestly, I thought dual climate control would be something I'd use when I have a passenger, and it hasn't come up. lol. I think it's quite a worth upgrade when it's not even something being used.
  6. Trunk latch failure.. again!

    I find the latch is stiff, even though it's lubricated. I have to close the truck pretty hard for it to latch, and it may fail one day - thanks for the post. Now I have an idea of replacement cost. :)
  7. new tires

    You're a lucky one and I don't blame you for buying another set after having such a great experience. Good on you man.
  8. new tires

    How many horse shoes do you have hanging from the mirror? These Goodyear Eagle Sport OEMs are the second worst tires I have ever owned. Lateral grip is quite good, and that is the only nice thing I can say about them. They've lost their rain-friendly rating after the first millimeter wore off...
  9. Trunk latch failure.. again!

    While everything else is skyrocketing in price, the price of that part has come down. I can only imagine the incredible demand for that to happen. I guess you're not the only one that has this problem. ;)
  10. DIY refrigerant recharge experiences

    Ahh, you'd prefer to reopen the hole in the ozone to let more UV rays kill us, because being on fire at this very moment isn't bad enough? ;) Even the climate-change naysayers are finally like, WOW, it's hot!! :D
  11. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Your two best solutions are: 1) Inquire at the dealer - "they" have the matching material, stitching, etc. 2) Find a time machine, go back to when it was purchased and add the interior warranty and the winter floor mats. I admit #2 is a bit of a hassle, so you may go for the first one. ;) In...
  12. No, your 1.5L engine is not going to break

    Exactly. I'm even willing to set aside the chance that Bobby may have abused it. Unless you're buying a classic or something rare, it's always better to buy from a dealer with a reputation they have to uphold. Selling someone a lemon and refusal to repair hurts their business, but a private...
  13. No, your 1.5L engine is not going to break

    I can smell bull a mile away. You have no idea what the previous owner did or did not do with it. For all you know, he could have done his own oil change and forgot to put oil it in, shut it off, put oil in it and sold it to you! Don't come in here talking smack like you're some sort of...
  14. Parking brake as Emergency Brake

    The scenario is if they lost hydraulic braking, so under normal conditions, it would apply the all the brakes, but if you didn't have those brakes, I would hope the park brake engages. If not, it's useless as an emergency brake.
  15. Does this sound normal to you guys?

    Oh, I guess it's 2017 and up.. Oh well. It still sounds normal nonetheless.
  16. Does this sound normal to you guys?

    Someone else may hear something I don't, but I don't hear anything wrong. ;)
  17. Parking brake as Emergency Brake

    As with any application of the park brake, the car is at the mercy of lock up the rear wheels. In a straight line on dry road, I imagine it will stop abruptly, but not lock up. Having said that, my 2nd service rated the rear pads at 70% and the fronts 90%, so I think they're working quite a...
  18. Does this sound normal to you guys?

    Just sounds like injectors to me. Doesn't sound abnormal for a direct injection engine.
  19. Type R Fail. #Submitted #Denied #Unknown

    I made a list of mods for my Si until I found out they stopped production on the Coupe. Now I'm aiming for longevity and possibly higher resale value.
  20. Type R Fail. #Submitted #Denied #Unknown

    boo. Makes me other comment not so funny. Good for the owner, though.
