yea i doubt it has anything to do with air restriction.. im not gonna get on it until I get the piping back off and get my oil pres. guage hooked up.
oh yea, checked for codes. only a 23 and a 41, Knock and O2, which are knowingly unplugged

Wierd thing... But i had a few different cars and some with knock and some without. On one of my cars it threw the code but still hit vtec forever. then all of the sudden it stoped. and i had to hook the knock sensor up, but instead i jsut chipped the ecu and disabled it. That would be my best bet.
