heres the problem....

when i step on the gas, it boggs down, like it hesitates.
feels like its loosing air somewhere or something like that.
could one of the pipes have popped off ?
or is it due to something else ?
it was running fine up till yesterday, and it just started today ?

check all of your pipes to see if they came loose.

check your turbo mani, might have a exhuast leak. Check to see if the bolts came loose on that too.

check your pipes, if you have a manual boost controller that, and even your turbo

might be really rich

Vacuum line off??

All of these could cause it....

i had that problem too...make sure you fuel lines are hooked up correctly.....i had mine hooked up wrong and it did the same thing...like around 4000 rpm or 3-4lbs of boost...check that and see if it is your problem...also could be running really rich...mine is doing that too..hahah i am just waiting on my safc2 to come in so that i can fix that too...

Also... May be dumb...

If the bog you experience is very brief, check your MAP sensor. Mine went bad, I have a new one that just came in last night the is going in the car along with the rebuild. When I rev it, even it neutral, it hesitates and then eventually picks up. The A/F gauge would also read EXTREMELY lean when it happens, so the MAP will fix it all. If of course that's your prob...

thanks ill check it all out, madwheel since you menitioned the map sensor, would that cause the air/fuel gauge to completely light up ? i have a autometer pro comp series. and just starting yesterday same as the bog down... the air/fuel gauge randomly started completely lighting up like a xmas tree... i mean the entire thing would start flashing then go back to just reading from lean to stoich, and sometimes from stoich to rich. ?

also where can i get a new map sensor ? do i have to go through SF for that? and does anyone know where i can get an O2 sensor for my bank 1 that is reading slow too ?

I dont know about the AF gauge completely lighting up, but... I bought mine straight through Honda. Should cost somewhere between $40-50.

PM me if you need a map sensor.

Check all vacum lines first. Then check MAP sensor which works off of vacum. Next move to your turbo. Check your wastegate rod and all your piping. Next move to your fuel system. Is your SF fuel pump turning on. You should here a buz sound if it is.

Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. Be sure and dyno tune it makes a big difference. Running without tuning will cause blown head gasket or worse.

Also you might want to look into the Missinglink MAP isolator. I never had any problems contacting SF. Give them a call and let them know whats going on.

Sounds stupid but when I ran my A/F guage I had major idle problems. I had the sensor wire ran behind the radio. The more I think about it you might have the same problem. Uninstall your A/F guage and see if you still have the problem. The A/F gauge might be some how sending feedback to the ECU.

It is worth a try. Just undo the sensor wire from your O2 sensor or from your ECU where ever it is connected to your car.


Good luck.

na this is the deal, does ur car boost at all??? i mean liek lets say it hits 3500 RPM rigth, does the boost go up or what?? if it doesnt ur car went bad, cuz thats what happened to mine, other then that yea i told mad wheel to buy a new MAP sensor and i did the same n i dont have bogging, n yeah listen to everyone check your pipes n **** like that

 
Rep Power: 0

wait my bad lol yea its ur map sensor, mine did the same thing, u stab at the gas n rpm falls for a split sec, and then starts to rev up, its ur map sensor, it probably went bad, u can get one from the honda dealer, but change it and watch it be good as new, also i have my MAP sensor installed without the insulation thing, i guess it depends on the car i dont know but mine works fine

 
Rep Power: 327

yeah I bought a new one through dezod, doesn't take long at all to come in. give that a shot, pm him he get's deals at honda..

 
Rep Power: 317

yeah i pmed dezod ill prob. order it on moday or tuesday.
as for the pipes i did a quick look and they looked fine. i hear the buzz from the fuel system so thats on... im gonna get a new map sensor and O2 sensor. i just have to check the pipes by the front bumper too lazy to take it off today so tomorrow.... thanks again for everyones help i really really appreciate it.

 
Rep Power: 327

no prob man

 
Rep Power: 317

if i also buy the safc2 is it really worth it ?

sorry for all the questions, i know i should prob. search this but
since it was mentioned i figured ild just ask

is this it ???? SAFC2

For the SAFC2 it will definately help, I reccomend the VAFC2 if you have an EX.

After I changed the hg...mine bogged down like that for a couple hrs or so. I flooded the engine while trouble shooting. I thought it might be from the fuel soaked spark plugs, but the problem is gone now. WTF??

 
Rep Power: 327

It's ok mine bogged a lil too... Seems to be getting a lot better though, we soaked the coolant and oil up when we took the head off.
