new engine troubles =(
hey guys
so as you know its raining like hell (today is may 9th) and i dont think i hydrolocked my car because i drove home and turned it on after
now i have an idling problem at the moment where my car idles at really low RPM's and it fluctuates so as my car was on neutral and idling it stalled (about 3 times) but when i went to turn it on the fourth time it just clicked and nothing happened (well i heard the alternator struggle
at first i thought it was the battery but even with a boost it wont start so now im stuck i have a feeling that my computer is messed up
if i should get this professionally looked at does anyone know a cheap towtruck company?

Just bring it back to the person who installed it and he should fix it for you for free but it depends what it is.

B) out of 20 15 wanted either motor or tranny not both
C)out of the 5 4 wanted to give roughly 200-300 for everything
D) one guy needed it bad and wanted it for 600
E)I'm going to keep my b20
F) I never knew there was a gun to your head to read my thread u don't HAVE to read my threads there's tons of useless threads everyday about lowering on stock shocks or " where's a good body shop?"

T-mack who is really talking to you and why are you defending him are you his secret gay lover or something? you dont know what arrangement i had with him so please dont put your 2cents where its not needed. And if you can find me a d16y8 with low kms for a good price feel free to tell me where since you are the engine guru on here.

who was really talking to you? you didnt answer my question or offer any type of advice so your presence isnt really needed here either your comment was useless in every way
lol and really mature with the gay lover comment i remember when me and my friends thought gay was the ultimate insult ahh i remember those days back when i used to play pokemon and yugioh cards and got my first bike
btw
TorontoJDM.com - Total Japanese Domestic Motor - JDM D15B OBD2 VTEC ENGINE
Tiger Japanese Auto Parts LTD - D15B SOHC VTEC Engine only Honda Civic 96-00
ya those are d15b's but theyre pretty much the same thing as a d16y8

The minute you put it up on the internet then its everyones buisness.
Speaking of gay, you no how gay you sound crying about an engine.
STFU and find it your'self. It shows how much of a noob you are if you can't find a Y8.
And obviously compared to you Im a ****ing engine god not guru.
