i drive in my rear view mirror all the time.

Wait so you try to floor it on the highway in 5th gear and it won't accelerate? Or its slow to accelerate?

Make sure you check your blinker fluid level too. Hahahaha

In the 2 years I have had my car, I have never seen my fuel light come on. But then again I don't let the needle hit the "E" because it's hard on the fuel pump.

It's completley normal. The float is on the right side of the tank and when you turn right, it's just the fuel moving to the left so it appears as though your fuel level is decreasing even though it isn't. My Tegg does the same thing.

Try switching the cluster with one that is garunteed to work properly. If the problem still persists, then it's either the ECT or the wiring in the dash.

It's normal. My gf's old four door Civic did it. My Tegg does it.

To answer your question, it took about 500 miles of conservative driving before it stopped.

The rings need to seat. My motor did the exact same thing.

That sounds like limp mode.

1. My buddies 240sx with a stock LQ9 (Silverado motor) 2. Fastest car I rode in would have to be my Dad's COBB tuned 04 STI

It's expensive. It's more than just throwing a VTEC head on your block. As far as reliability goes, I know that they make headgaskets specifically for LSV now so that part shouldn't be an issue. It just needs to be done correctly and with patience. If it were up to me though and I had the money...

It's not hard at all. But I guess it depends on if it's an auto or manual.

Go over the intake and see if all the bolts are tight. Throttle body too. It may just be the butterfly on the throttle body though. Mine whistles a little too.

Did a leak down and compression test today. 260 psi across all cylinders and she passed the leakdown test with flying colors. Gates racing timing belt will be here next Monday. I got lucky as fuck you guys.

Water pump most def. Change your timing belt while your there too.

Your driving around with the wrong ECU. What the the fuck did you expect was going to happen? Stop driving it until you get the new ECU and if the problem continues, then let us know.

No sir I didn't lol. When you say big lobe, do you mean VTEC? If that's the case I should be ok because I'm non VTEC.

Idk to be honest. I'll probably just have to pull the head and look at it. Can I pull the valve cover and look that way without ripping the head all apart? I really don't want to do that if I don't have to.

My timing belt snapped while I was on the highway. The bottom end still seems to be fine because it still cranks and has compression and none of my rods are bent. What are my chances for my head not being fucked up?
