When you replaced the ecu, did you program the immobilizer for the key that you have?
Do you see the green key light coming on in the dash like it’s not recognizing the key? I only ask, because I bought a 6th Gen Accord that a shop couldn’t figure out last year with this problem.
Thanks, I’ve been thinking about investing in one of the vacuum pumps, but it’s hard to justify the cost since I don’t do this that often.
How long should it take to bleed the air? I’ve been at this for about 2 hours. An hour each night for 2 nights.
As for the combustion test, I did one and it didn’t show any signs of detecting exhaust gases. However I’m wondering if my fluid has been contaminated. I loaned my kit to a friend a while back and have no idea what he did with it. I decided to test this by sniffing the fumes at the muffler. It changed colors, but just kind of turned green there instead of yellow like it should. I’ve ordered more fluid, but it hasn’t arrived yet.
Well, your block is aluminum. So my preferred method is to use a mig welder. You can stick a nut over the top of the hole and build up weld inside of it. It will only stick to the bolt and won’t stick to the aluminum block. The heat will also help break the bolt free.
If you don’t have access to a welder or someone who can do this, you can drill the bolt and try to use an extractor. I usually have mixed results with this method. This method only works if you have room to get a drill where you need to.
The last option is drilling the bolt out and either use a heli coil or drill and tap it to the next size. This isn’t soo bad if you’re careful, but I’ve seen far to many instances when someone has drilled too deep, wallowed out the hole, etc. So be careful if you do it.
Does it do this at all speeds or just certain speeds? How much does it slow down? This sounds fairly normal. Often times in overdrive it doesn’t gave the powder to maintain the speed if you go up an incline, so it’ll slow down a few mph until it down shifts and can keep up.
Thanks. I’m not seeing any coolant in the oil, nor am I seeing any oil in the coolant. I’m also not seeing any white smoke. The car doesn’t overheat. I drove it about 150 miles today and the temperature stays right around where it should be. The heat also works great, unlike some experiences I’ve had with trapped air in the past. I’m just going to keep an eye on the coolant level I guess and not worry about it unless you guys think differently.
