Well, gasket is fine. The comp test can't happen till later. Checked for loose wires, and all were good. Listened again, and all I got was THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-pause-THUMP..etc. Sounds like a blown seal.

thump-thump-pause? How does that work? If you lose 1 seal you lose two rotor faces, pardon me if I'm wrong but are you sure you're hearing right? Sounds to me like you may have something stuck.

3. Fuel. Is it flooding out? Stuck injector? Does it reek like gas while running?

Ohhh, is that an insult now!? You should've seen when skippy caught my hand on fire. I was cleaning spark plugs and asked him to burn the excess carb cleaner off the plugs, so he lights the damn things while they are still in my hand. Was quite the show. Anyway, that's definatly off topic. If you're hearing two whooshes and a pause, listen closer and try to see if it's just not a quieter whoosh, perhaps a side seal is sticking, ATF it and see, can't hurt! Btw, bob13bt, two words: CAPS LOCK

Actually, we hate you. We want you to get the car running so you don't come on the forum and bug us with your inane questions. 3,000 posts and you don't even know enough to do a compression test. BAD HONDA BOY!

Hey Rico I have the same problem with my TII and I tried all sorts of things. Then after reading all these posts I finally decided to do a comp. test. After 2 weeks of maybe, probobly and what if; I am very happy that my compression checked out fine with 3 even bounces over 95PSI on both rotors. I guess my point is - is that I almost lost faith and I was convinced my motor was dead, but to my surprise shes okay inside anyways. So don't loose faith. The amount of money you'll spend on another "MONEY PIT", you could put a rebuild in for less! Thats just my $0.02

I know if my car was acting up like this, I would be out in the garage trying to fix it instead of sitting on my *** in front of a computer. Oh, you don't have your tools..... then go get your tools!!!! Don't you want your car to run again?

I live in central Texas, Jimmy. Anyway, I really love the car, but just dumping ALL of my money just maikng it run has become tiresome (I have spent bout $1500 in mods, and about $2k keeping it on the road!!:eek I hope I can fix it so I can sell it for more than a few hundred bucks. I am just burnt out.
