Cars & Transportation - 26 September 2007

I have a '99 Acura Integra GS-R and am having problems with it. The car starts up intermittently, starts up more than it doesn't. When it does start up, if you push the gas pedal down too much, it bogs, and if you hold it down too far for too long it will die. When it dies, the intake will make a strange noise like its choking and trying to suck a lot of air. It idles fine, and if you push the gas pedal down slowly, RPM's will keep rising without issue. I have been working on it for a few days to see what it could be, I have new spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump, o2 sensor, oil filter, oil, its full with gas, its not the intake, throttle body or tbs sensor, my distributor worked fine on another integra, the timing is right, it's not the cat, the check engine light is on, engine codes read trouble codes 22 and 67, according to the service manual, it means VTEC system malfunction and catalytic sytem efficiency below threshold. Any ideas of what it may be or other things to check?

I am on title of this vehicle with my ex, who is in possession of this vehicle but is not making payments on it. I need to get it legally changed on the title with my name only because he is ruining my credit and he has the car! So, I want that car back!

My truck has a ball joint on the right front tire that needs to be fixed. Its been like that for a month since i'm still trying to find the funds to fix it. A couple days ago its started to pop really bad and creeks when I turn. I plan on fixing it within the next couple weeks. I'm curious what can happen if they don't get fixed?

The engine i am working on at present is a honda twin cylinder GX-610.Honda only seems to give out owner manuals but not repair manuals.I already downloaded the owners manual but these are only designed to help you maintain as far as oil changes etc.There has to be a site out there somewhere.Any help appreciated.

I added the K&N Cold Air Intake. It has the bigger exhaust being a Daytona RT. Please give me some serious mods that a wanna-be auto tech can perform. I am in no way qualified to call myself anything more than a wannabe, the most extensive work I've done is replace a master cylinder and rebuild a brake caliber. So if you tell me to open it up and work on the interior engine I will just mess it up.

Please Help!!!

The only type of schools i have found are traditional maritime academys/colleges, which are very hard to get into. I am not interested in design, or construction of marine vessels; only the maintanence and operational side of the job. Perhaps off-shore enginer is the correct term. I would really appreciate some info from someone who is a ranked officer on a marine vessel, pertaining to how they started their career. Also, are vo-tech schools with diesel technology programs a good start? any info would be helpful. thanx

Hi, I am wondering if putting in a #130 jet in my bike will give it better throttle response and run a lot better because i have a uni-air filter on my bike with a stock #120 jet and an after market exhaust from a 2003 cr80r bike which right know it won't even pull a wheelie or even spin the tires without stalling or bogging. Right know i have a #120 in it but i have a: #130,140, or 150 jet for it as spares just incase. We have tried adjusting it but we can't get a right setting the way my bike is. I just want to give it that much power to atleast have a challenge when racing my friends. Please answer because i need help badly. Thanks.

I'd just bought my first car the other night. I drove it about half way home from collection with no probs apart from a bit of a whirling noise, then all of a sudden the car just started to lose speed, it was revving but was losing drive. I had to pull over going up hill as I wasn't going to make it. My friend who I was following back home came and looked at it, it didn't want to get into gear. The clutch feels fine but it just wont get into gear. I've had two mechanics look at it. One thinks it's the clutch, the other the gearbox, both nightmare jobs I reckon. Anyone got any ideas on what it might have been? and whether the seller would have known it was about to die on me?

I want to buy a 2001 Yukon XL. Price compared to book value is extremely favorable, but they will only go out to 48 months. Will any other lender go 60 months, or is it industry-wide? I can't afford the payment at 48 months, so I'd have to find another much cheaper vehicle at 48 months, or get a newer one. Then I'd have to pay more overall just to get the payments down, plus pay more to register and insure it.
