Need your help...

Hi:

Noticed a sputtering, for want of a better word, coming from my tailpipe today. Intermittent, yet even there, though much faster, when revving quite high. Using 92 gas and recently had it tuned. I'm not too happy with the idle -- it staggers ever so gently, nothing bothersome, but I figure it's there forever after 212k.

Any help would be much appreciated. Unsure if it is an exhaust, idle, fuel problem, or something else.

Funny that. We have the same springs, but mine still looks better

Will you be going to Darknights?

Getting the Honda Virtuoso to take a look at the problem tonight @ the ClubSi KK meet (10:00). Drop by? The westend meet does not gibvve too many gangsta stares

At least I know in my case all the attractive women are staring in lustful desire at the driver not necessarily the car, unfortunately
I believe they arew staring at your car . BTW it is looking better and better each week. In regards to CLUB SI I only have a DX so I do not meet the requirements

Thanks for compliment. I think!

Okay, now, take a big breath Mr. Bond, you are in for a shock. All those girls staring at you the other night, ol' PUL OVR was right behind you. As the reality sinks in, are you running to get a tissue?

Seriously, the KK meet is fun. If anyone is around tonight, drop by. It 's not TCC, but it's good to get together with like-minded people. For those interested, 10:00 p.m. @ KK, parked in front of the Business Depot.

Try some Throttle Body cleaner and see what that does.
Don't let the gas tank drop below 1/2 way for the next while.

When starting your car:
Turn the key to the ignition position, Wait about 2 seconds before you crank it over.

See what happens from there.

What is your idle at?
