NARROW RANGE on your tps is either stuck or out of range. Check your adjustment via fsm.
Thanks Robert

Its easy, just follow these simple steps:
1. Turn on the car.
2. Put the car in gear.
3. Press accelerator pedal.

So you'd rather go into debt over a car thats much slower and unreliable than a "stupid honda"?

I feel sorry for your momma.

just because you'd end up in debt doesnt mean i will...you live in POORMONA remember...i work and earn my money and i save also...dropping in another engine will just be a last resort...i wanna actually take the time to find out whats wrong, not just get rid of the car....

and what is it about ppl talking about hondas here...why even be apart of this forum if your gonna be talking about hondas like if there cool....

my rx7 wasn.t all that slow either, i've taken MANY hondas and each one of them wanted to race me!!!...i never waste my time with them which is why i wouldnt get on....maybe one day hen im old and wanna a cheap car but for now i dont think so....



the only honda i would buy is a NSX and thats it...thats the only one that i like...not the s2000 not nothing

Last time I checked, a loan was considered debt, hence you'd be going into debt if you got a loan to fix your car. Make sense?

Kudos to your rotary pride. You're the most hardcore rotard since Jlongie was on these boards

thx for the props...

yeha maybe if the loan was like over 1g but all i would need is like 500 at the most...and i would even have to get alon for that..i could ask a family member or smething but yeah i get you man...for most ppl getting a loan it is becasue they dont have enough money and get into more debt or whatever but yeah..i dont need that much...i should have enough saved up by the end of next month to get afront clip...but then again the money im saving right now is for something else i dont wanna waste it onna a motor which is whyi wanna seeif its just something minor before i go and spend money on something thats not necessary right now
