[sjrobinson]

So its happening again- worse. Ima just copy and post my question from yahoo answers cuz I’m too lazy to explain it all.

I’d like to hear your results after checking for vacuum leaks.

[sjrobinson]

No luck with the vacuum leak.

[EricTheCarGuy]

As I stated it’s not common for Honda’s to have fuel delivery issues, most of what I have seen has been injectors leaking externally which had no effect on performance.

[sjrobinson]

Well I’ve been driving it half a tank since I put the stuff in. It still has a little surging but the problem is not as bad as it got to- there is a big improvement. With any car though, if theres stuff already in the fuel tank getting sucked in and then

[EricTheCarGuy]

That’s what fuel filters are for, they are suppose to trap particulate matter before it reaches the fuel injectors.

[sjrobinson]

I just had the fuel filter changed too… Its odd that /the problem would get worse after running the tank on empty and not that I’ve driven it with the cleaner its gotten better. Maybe I should check the fuel filter myself?

[sjrobinson]

I just watched the performance video and think that checking the fuel pressure would be a good spot to start. Although the filter was changed I can’t tell if it is a new one by looking at it. Its in an odd spot and I didnt wanna do it myself. It looks lik

[EricTheCarGuy]

That filter is a lifetime filter and to be honest you really don’t want to change it unless you have a set of crows feet and even then it’s difficult, I still don’t think fuel pressure is your problem however but you can verify that quite easily with a fu

Doesn’t have either one of those sensors.

[sjrobinson]

Alright. Well I used 3x concentrated cleaner and ran it through a full tank of gas and the problem slowed down the day after I put it in. I just filled my tank up again after it was on 1/4 Empty and it is running fine except it did it a little once as I d

I would check on your master cylinder cap for the clutch or in your owners manual for the correct type of fluid to use seeing as some vehicles require different hydraulic fluids other than DOT3

[sjrobinson]

its dot 3, same as the brakes. honda recommends their brand though. I regularly check the fluid levels.

[EricTheCarGuy]

You can just use regular fluid in the clutch master I haven’t seen any problems with that.

[sjrobinson]

Not yet, I am shopping around for fuel pressure testers and gotta take a look at my haynes manual on how to do it. My idling is a little off I can hear in the exhaust but the problem has gone away quite a bit.
