Ek4 trouble


So if the Baro meter is faulty can it be fix ir is it better to replace the ecu? Also would any of these be anything to do with the idle
 
The only fix if your Baro is faulty is to replace the ECU. In my years I have never seen one go bad, but the test is a good way to make sure things are 'apples to apples'.
'Idle' is the most difficult part of any 'tune'- whether after market tuner of from the factory. With low RPM's and so much emission regulating programs and devices- drivers tend to feel issues at idle more than any other time. That being said, every thing effects idle. Do you not have a good mechanic in your area? seems like this has been a pain in your side for a long time now... (Way not to give up on your Honda :nice: )
 
There's a few mechanics but it's finding the right one. I can't afford to get rid of it as this is the only issue with it now and once I have this sorted the car will be mint
 
Drive out to me and I'll take care of ya :drive:It's only California...Its kinda close...haha. Well, maby its time to learn the trade and save some Honda's from the junk yard.
Its easy to buy a fuel pressure gauge that bolts onto the top of your fuel filter. They normally come with all the necessary washers and such. I'm sure theres ever a Youtube video on how to install them. Its easy and that's what I would do if I were in your shoes.

Cars booked in for wed i changed my oxygen sensor to another one I have and I ran the car for a while and the engine light came on and it was code 41 which is heated oxygen sensor
 
If you just replaced the O2 sensor and got that code, and are chasing down running issues, I would recommend getting a new O2 sensor from Honda and calling it a day. I have seen "Bosch" O2 sensors cause serious running issues on Honda's, so I'm sure other brands can cause issues as well.
 
I put the one I had in before and bled the radiator again and it seems to be running a bit better
 
"Bled the radiator again" - Are you finding consistent air bubbles in your cooling system?
 
"Please no bad news"- lol. Consistent air pockets are not a natural function of a healthy cooling system, and can indicate an issue. Air in the cooling system can give weird drive ability symptoms, and if left unchecked can cause harm to your engine. Air does not dissipate heat as well as coolant- This can led to senors getting false readings (from the super hot air pockets 2 times the temp of the surrounding coolant), and burning areas not intended to deal with that amount of localized heat, like rubber gaskets, hoses, thermostats, head gaskets....Sounds like you have some unhealthy symptoms going on- you need to find a good doctor in your area that can perform the necessary tests to give you information of 'whats so', so you can make an educated decision on how to proceed. Other wise you may end up chasing you tail for a very long time, which also can be expensive.
 
Got car sorted and passed mot was oxygen sensor so I put my old one back in and a new set of plugs. Don't plan on driving it much more going to put it away in the garage and get a diesel
 
So after every thing, it was the oxygen sensor all along? It runs and drives strong with no problems? And now after all that work...your going to buy a diesel? lol. I'm glad its all sorted now. Congrats.
 
Is this gap meant to be there its on my throttle cable under the rubber boot
