Limp Mode Again

[jcivics]

Okay.

I can rule out the coil, just swapped them, and had a real bad limp mode experience. Still pushing P0303

I’ll goto stock and see how it goes down

I did notice that #3 spark plug hole was a little tight , and the actual threads of the plug were a bit darker than the others. Not just the tip, but further up towards the insulator as well.

You did get the misfire code and are having driveability issues. Exactly the symptoms the Honda letter describes. I'd take it in and go from there.

One other thing, do you suggest replacing the stock air box, or will they actually make a stink about it?

If you have an intake, yeah go back to stock for this dealer visit.

Honda says there are no P0303 code , the problem can’t be reproduced. The car is fine.

Lessons learned:
1.) turbo exhaust side before o2 must be secure

2.) never trust posts from trolls on civicx.com

Also, I’m not selling my downpipe anymore, I’m giving it away to the first private message requesting it

Well here's the list of members (I mean trolls) giving him advice or their ideas in this thread.

You
Me

procivic

You know, all the shitty trolly members.

I've read every reply we gave and I don't see any trolling, just trying to help a guy the best we could.

Really and nobody knew that I missing bolts off the turbo exhaust would cause that misfire which I had stated many many posts ago. I find that really hard to believe

First post I saw of yours was the pic of your torn air filter. Never saw anything about bolts.

And the thing is all of this is peer to peer help, no one is claiming to be a master mechanic. The best advice was to take it to a mechanic/ Honda which several of us said.

 

[jcivics]

How about I take you to A mechanic

 

[gtman]

WTF are you talking about dude?

 

[jcivics]

Do you want to take a trip to the mechanics

You’re the one who said you took it to the dealer and mechanic and you’re mad at us that we didn’t diagnose your car properly without ever seeing even one picture of your car? GTFO with that. 2 of the most liked and respected members have been here offering ideas and thats how you respond? Maybe honda and your mechanic tuner should have looked at the exhaust. And even then one missing bolt from the downpipe wouldnt necessarily cause a misfire so good luck going forward.

Did you really expect anyone here to be able to accurately diagnose your problem without looking at your car in person? We all tried, to the best of our abilities, to come to a conclusion based on dozens of posts spread out over four different threads, and it's still a complete mystery. You have a laundry list of things potentially wrong, and apparently none of it was consistently repeatable. This case would have been a challenge even if we could see and test the car first hand. And still, you continued to tinker with it and do WOT pulls knowing that something was wrong against everyone's advice and it's somehow our fault that your car isn't magically better now?

I suggested taking your car to a mechanic to get this figured out, and I'm still not sure if you ever did, but you've been expecting us to come to a definitive conclusion as to what is the root of the issues you're experiencing, which is not possible or wise and none of us are qualified to do. I'm a machinist, not a mechanic or a Honda tech. I do this for fun, not a living.

I'm sorry dude, but if anyone is a troll it's you. I've only seen people trying to be helpful, despite this entire case being practically impossible. Yes, missing a bolt on your turbo is bad news, but judging from your posts, that was one amongst a literal pile of potential problems. How could anyone say with certainty that that was the source of your problems?

Anyways, I’m my opinion, people that AREN'T trolls are people that actually help. People like Pro Civic and Charles Rivers, who provide thoughtful experienced feedback. Also, anyone named GT cannot generally be trusted (too muscle car suspicious name)
