Here we go again
OK now the new engine is in and the car starts up just fine the first time...all fluid levels are checked then double checked and filled to perfect....i drive around the block about 1 half mile and then bam it dies at idle just like it did before with the other engine...honda claims it was compression causing the same thing in the first engine (which only had 50k miles on it) and now this one is doing the same thing with only 15K what the hell is the deal this engine was shown to have perfect compression across the board when i picked it up and now same damn thing anyone have any idea what the hell is going on with this piece of ****.

Rep Power: 321 think about it for a sec, you pulled the complet motor out and replacedit um what else is there left besides a few sencors, and the ecu and gas lines...umm nothing...heres one if you know of a bud with the same car, barrow his ecu and take it for a spin see if the prob persis...if not then there it is...over here at a junk yard the ecu is about 150 bucks...not a big loss...if it doesnt wrk then you have an extra one for reprogramming(chip)...but sometime hoda doesnt know what the **** there talking about...i took my car back a dozen of time kuz the car keept bogging on me at 4000 rpms...they told me that they couldnt understand the code the ecu was throughing out turns out that car had no oil in at all....no one botherd to do a complet check at honda...huh..well now i find out that every 2 months my car needs 3 qrts of oil cuz the motor burns it up...
