Im thinking its my fuel filter and the strainer on my fuel pump since its never been replaced

 

[Muckman]

Thats a good idea since you know its old - and cheap to replace.

Well Ive replaced those parts and its still f***ing doing the same sh**! Heres a video...

This sh** makes me want to get rid of this damn car! (not really)

haha wow thats bad.

The MIL only flashes during this condition? Thats going to be either a misfire code or it could be a timing error from either crank or cam sensor. This is entirely different than the orignal diagnosis.

Pull the code again.

my teg is only throwing a code 65= secondary o2 and 17=VSS....it just started doing that hesitating out of the blue...

Still haven't figured out what the hell is the problem with the teg. Right now she is sitting at least until I can figure it out. I might have to buckle Down and take it to a shop

 

[Muckman]

How are you pulling the error codes?
Can you borrow a distributor from a friend and test it out?

 

[96LSteg]

I have the paper clip in the plug. I have no friends here with Hondas.

So i checked the timing today. I thought maybe it jumped timing but it didn't. Still can't figure it out.

Did a compression test. My results were 1 =150 2 =145 3 =150 4 =150. Seems to be in order. As a last ditch effort I changed my plugs because they had some carbon buildup on them and got no change. I can't think of anything else to do and Im starting to get tired of throwing money at it. If anyone else can come up with a solution to this problem your help would be much appreciated.

 

[96LSteg]

Nothing?

 

[Muckman]

I know you're sick of my advice but I did more research on this for you. Did your speedo stop working around the time this problem started? A VSS error can cause the ecu to run in safe mode. I would concentrate on the known issues - the secondary O2 and the VSS. You can get the defouler cheap at AZ and fix your VSS. Pull the PGM-FI fuse to clear the ECU and drive it.

I drove today with the primary o2 sensor unplugged and no hiccups....so I am assuming that its the primary o2 and I am replacing it today. I don't even have a secondary o2. The PO cut it off when he cut the cat out (which I will be adding back in next week). as for the VSS it just went bad a few days ago after the issue began to occur

Problem solved. It was just what i suspected it was. The primary o2. Mine was shot and a brand spanking new one did the trick. Glad to have the teg back on the road.
