fridazadilak Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hmm...don't think so. I'll have a check when it's light. I really need a lockup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Gearbox? Any strange noises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridazadilak Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Ok guys...just done the trip back from Bristol, only got 105. That's it...I had a clear road ahead and that was for to the floor in 4th. I got a video of it which I'll upload in a while...but now I'm off to dismantle the Volvo!I felt the small kick at 4.5k, and hit redline in 2nd but it wouldn't hit it in 3rd. The engine feels restricted somehow. It got to about 7.7k and wouldn't climb any higher. I've put a request in to my mate at Honda for plugs, leads, dizzy, rotor and oil filter...that should do it I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Do you feel the VTEC at 5800k ish? As it may not be coming onto vtec. The IABs open at 4500k which is basically both of the inlets opening fully, then at 5800k it should change over to the other cam.Once you get your parts and they are fitted get back to us, hopefully it will be fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 In the book it says you get 25mpg so it's prob about right for short journeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get 70 in 2nd just over 100 in 3rd all day long. In theory the gear box will do 160If it feels restricted maybe the auto choke is playing up? I had a similar feeling in a nova i had years ago but that was because it had a manual choke and i didnt know how to use it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridazadilak Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Right here's the video:http://static.photobucket.com/player.sw ... 104323.mp4Trust me I don't normally drive like this but I needed to see what was up.The vtec does kick in at 5.9k, and I feel the little kick at 4.5k. What are the IABs?I'm thinking it might be something like a cat problem because of the fact it won't redline in 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridazadilak Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Ooh ok...cheers! Just showed it to another Honda loving mate and he had a similar problem on his EP3 when the oil was low. Gonna check now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 If oil was low vtec wouldn't work that wellhttp://cars.homenetcs.co.uk/honda-civic ... g-iabs.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
