RE: need some answers!

you should lat least ook into a fuel pressure gauge for the top of your fuel filter. that way you can see where your fuel pressure is at. with that you could possibly determine whether or not your stock fpr is bad. your injectors could be sticky and seeping out extra fuel also.

RE: need some answers!

Buy a little B&M fuel pressure regulator and gauge. This will at least allow you to adjust the fuel pressure. The B&M pressure regulator requires modification to the stock regulator. If you're not comfortable cutting open this with a hacksaw then spend the extra money and get something more like the AEM fuel pressure regulator. This will "bolt" directly to the fuel rail and requires no modification to fit or install.

I'm sure you don't have to purchase anything though. With stock everything, your problems sound more deep then what were all talking about. I'd recommend taking it to a shop and at least have them diagnose the problem if you're not comfortable figuring it out.

Oh and for the air fuel gauge you have.....rip the pretty lights out of your car, wire it up and use it as your star for the top of this years Christmas tree. It will probably be put to better use flashing at you there then anywhere else. Oh so funny funny. j/k bro. In all seriousness, it's absolutely useless and a complete waste of money. Get rid of it and buy a true wideband and have it wired up correct. That will tell you acurately if you're rich or not.

hahaha thanks for the help as for the gauge..trust me i know i just bought the car a month ago its my second civic the guy before me put them in and they look horrible like theyre not even bolted on right. and if i take it off there will be drilled holes in the side of my dash so i think im better off leaving it. i just thought id be burning coolant if there was white smoke o well i guess i need a leakdown/compression test this bitch.
