My car is focked
i have only had my car for a year and a half now and i already had to get the thing towed. i was like wtf!!! I remember driving fine on monday night, then all of a sudden my car gave out at 5 rpms in first gear. i was like huhhhhh...... then my car just turned off with a pressure noise, like air was trying to come out. It was weird. I was lucky enough that my shop was on the street i was on so i kept it there for a night. the next morning i went to work and tried working on my car the next morning. but the BARO sensor is built in the ECU. so no i had to get it towed on wednesday to the honda dealership and get a new ECU. the reason for all of this was that oil was flowing back in my cylinders and coming out of the air intake filter.. my oil was mixing with too much air. soo hopefully i get my car back tomorrow. Has this happen to ne of you guys...

Rep Power: 0 well i got my car back last night and damn thank god it is all under warranty, if not i woulda had to pay about 950 on ecu and labour, but the cause of all of this was because a filter i had bought from importfest at the eap booth was defective, it wasn't sucking any air into my throttle body so the secondary air suction hose from intake to valve cover was sucking air like a vacuum, therefore sucking oil with the air flow which made the ecu throw off all sensors.... now i seriously need to engine degrease my car.. its full og oil under the hood and i still have mad oil smoke from my exhaust and my car stinks man... i'm soooo annoid.
