Looking for an ECU for a 92-93 GS V6. I use to have a bunch of these lying around but now my brother in law needs one for his SE.

Thanks,

Make sure you have all your ground wires connected. I think a lot of us have added extra ground wires. Go over your harnass again and make sure everything is good and tight, you can take out a spark plug and test the plug but the side plug must be grounded, then you'll know if your getting any spark.

You have to measure your cylinders first. Not sure how many miles you have on your engine but I would guess its over 100k. I would recommend going with an oversized piston .020 or .5mm, but that depends on the big size of any of your cylinders. When I rebuilt my first KL I used a set of used ZE ...

I've never heard of a leak around the knock sensor, its located between the heads where its totally solid aluminum. So you might want to take a closer look. There are a lot of places oil could be coming from, unfortunately a lot of it ends ups in the gully between the heads.

Ya go disgrace a Civic not an MX3!

The valves will hit the edge of the cylinder liner. It won't work Period!

For Sale: Forged 4340 Millenia-S Connecting Rods.

These rods are from the bulk buy rurockn set up on Probetalk last year. These are brand new, never out of the box. I really hate to part with these, but my MX-3 is going back to stock or close to it.

These rods come with the ARP bolts. Price is ...

Make sure the dust shield isn't rubbing against the rotor. That one always gets me. Just make sure everything is tight like Pat said. I but the wheel is loose.

My first recommendation would be to change the thermostat again. I know its new, but I talked to an old time mechanic that told me he has put in replacement thermostats for sticking ones and have found that some new ones will stick shut. :shrug:

I'm with Tunes the only other possibility I can ...

You got two bad injectors, you should be able to buy a set of used fuel rails with the injectors still in them for $20 in the For Sale Forum. Are you sure you didn't accidentally leak fuel down in them after you disconnected the fuel lines? which cylinders are they?

-Pat, I'm always watching!

Are you sure you not talking the fuel injectors? You shouldn't get much leakage from them. Yes you'll have a little, but its possible they could be sticking.

Almost looks like the oil pan is smashed in. If it is, hopefully it didn't damage the pick up tube.

Let me throw in my 2 cents. Not worth it, I think its a little too light. Your not gonna see a huge improvement on a dyno. The stock weight of the K8 FW is perfect. These guys say it does cause they like to sit at McDonald's and rev their engines at the girls. :P

Get some light wheels and your car ...

First off grab the pages out of the shop manual and read them over and over. You can't put the cams in wrong its about impossible. You'll see when you get the valve covers off.

If you plan on trying to change valve springs and retainers in the car you might as well pull the engine IMO.

If it were ...

When you start the car cold are you RPM's high, like near 2k? or does it go right to 670?

What mods have you done to the engine?
