PROBLEMS!! Help me out people
Ok, so i have a few problems...with my car that is haha.
first one is i think i might have a bad map sensor. In my earlier thread, I was talking about the bogging out at 1500-2000rpm, but now I have a CEL on (its the cat O2 sensor) and I have a solid idle at 1k, never drops below it, even when its fully warmed up, been drivin all day, steady at 1k (maybe thats due to me removing the ac
) and now since the CEL came on, theres no more bogging. Could the bogging be due to an exhaust leak in the header? Cuz i believe I have a SMALL one, but not CERTAIN. OR do you think the cat is getting clogged and the sensor isnt bad, cuz when i checked the cat o2 sensor they told me it was a bad sensor and that the cat looked 100% fine.
Second is i think i am getting blow by. For some time now i have had to clamp on my spark plug wires tot eh valve cover becasue they would pop off when i would run the engine. I checked the plugs and they are still in the head tightly, not loose at all, and they looked clean when i took them out, no detonation evidence, and looked to be a clean burn. maybe the gasket is bad i have takent the cover off a few times and never replaced the gasket.

Re: PROBLEMS!! Help me out people
The only time I ahve had a problem with plug wires poppin out is when i was 16 and just bought my civic. A plug wire poped out. The plug wasnt set properly in and was kinda cocked. Reinstalled new plug never had a problem again. O2 code means o2 is bad just plain and simple. A poorly runin car can ruin a cat very fast and hinder performance and make the car sluggish
