2006 civic r18 custom intake/throttle problems
Ok so I have a 2006 honda civic ex with the r18 engine non si. I have recently had some mods done to it. I had a magnaflow cat back and a KN short ram intake put on and it was great. Then i decided to order a weapon R intake, a weapon R header, and those came with a FIC for the car. Thats when the problems began.
after doingthe intake, the header, and the FIC the car has more power, but the problem is, when it sits and idles and you press the gas sometimes it dies. Also it has a problem of dying when accellerating after being stopped at a stoplight. It dies randomly sometimes too when turning at very low speeds and not accelerating.
The shop says the computer is sending funky messages to the car because somthing in the throttle response is totally off. THey said they tried turning the Idle up to solve the problem but coudlnt do it. The guy said there should be some other parts to compliment the intake, and correct the throttle problems. However I have seen nothin on procivic.com or weaponr website that suggests they make anything to correct any problems, in fact weapon R sells the parts i have purchased in a package, with no additional parts. Im confused about what i need to do to solve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!

Re: 2006 civic r18 custom intake/throttle problems
did the intake use the stock maf sensor? is everything tight? did you reset the computer and relearn idle? wtf is a fic?
Re: 2006 civic r18 custom intake/throttle problems
go over to 8thgen civic they have a fix for this. weapon-r sends out a little black box to "correct" the fuel trim so that it will rid the low end of the bog and or stalling problems.
