So I can adjust the VTEC somehow? However, your saying I WOULD be better off swapping for a larger motor if I want large numbers?

Thanks, sir. So, your saying, if I'm looking to hit big numbers, I'd be better off swapping the motor with a DOHC? Could I tune the ECU to make the VTEC hit sooner? Or is this not recommended?

I Understand...generally how my/a motor works. Vtec, however, I'm not sure how that works or what it does exactly. Care to extrapolate?

Thanks for responding. I want to keep her NA. I've been told having/going turbo is costly.

I have a 1999 Honda Civic EX coupe, 5 speed. I just had the motor rebuilt due to a handful of problems. Now that I have a great running Civic, I want to start buying performance parts to make her a little quicker. I'd like to keep the stock, single cam D series. I'm wanting to learn more about...

She's beautiful man.

Man your EK seems pretty clean. I would definitely recommend some rims and an OEM hood, and a new grille.

Sweet as SI bro! I love how clean it is. If you ever get a chance, try a Nikon D90, it's pretty sweet and with photoshop, every picture will come sexy. Take some rear end shots and interior shots, and don't forget about the engine bay.

Its alright. You should went with some gun metal rims or black.

Put some gold Volks on her. That'll look perfect.

Every seat is the back seat in a short bus!

Well both of your advice is quite helpful, and your both correct, instead of spending money on replacements, I'll purchase those tools you both have mentioned. Are what you both called them the correct name?

I'll replace the fuel filter tomorrow or the next day for sure, aswell as the 02 sensor, I dont have the meter or tool to check the voltage. After I do so I'll post some pics of my bay and let you know how its running. How does the cold weather affect the gas mileage? Also, is it difficult to...

Well I have a DX and only an intake installed, so I should be getting around 30 something hwy and city, but I probably have about early to mid 20's. As far as performance problems, it still feels like it wants to die, not as much before I replaces what I did but every so often it'll idle...

Alright, I got the codes, the 1st is, P0171, and the second is, P0170. The guy said it may be just the 02 sensor, but theres a list of things it could be.

So I found out what the sound was! Its was a stupid little metal clip that was holding the center console, thankfully nothing from the engine. But I do have some bad news still, the check engine light is back on! As I was driving to work today, the light just turned on. So tomorrow I'll be going...

Well I think got it done today, I replaced the spark wires, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, oil, oil filter, anti freeze, and windsheild washer fluid, and last but not least, the alternator. So far, the check engine light is off and its running alot better, but now there is this slight...

Find Ron J and ask him, he's pretty knowledgeable.

I'll have those things checked in the morning, and I'll post the pics if my sister has and lets me use her camera. Thank you both for the tips! I'll let ya'll know tomorrow.:D

:suprise: How would I know if any of them are bad? Would the spark plugs be broken or something? And which is the rotor? Is this inside the distributer cap? I'll check for the fuse and the items you've posted tomorrow. I'll let you know Ron J, thanks a million!:suprise:
