My 98 UKDM Integra Type R... Small update from 1/03/10

Just a brief update on the Integra, since December 2009, I had been suffering some really confusing engine issues, well it turned out my hesitation and poor fuel economy was nothing to do with my o2 sensor, well not entirely anyway, or the other 10 odd bits I replaced and changed... oh well I can't complain, all the new bits are all service parts :)

So what was causing my car to play up?

Well... it was the Battery leaking in the end that was causing a bad electrical flow to the ECU and throwing up a CEL light...

And I am very pleased to say the car is running exactly how it should now :D

My problem has most definitely been fixed :)

So in interest of the blog, I took a few pictures whilst I was diagnosing and changing parts to try and fix this problem, so thought I'd share :) most are phone pictures, so apologies for the bad quality, but maybe could be used for reference by someone :)

Distributor cap and rotor arm removal.

The next one is a really bad quality pic, but it shows the orangey dust that had collected on the rotor arm. This was then all cleaned off before the new one was fitted.

Then seeing as my o2 sensor had been causing my car to run rich, I got the old spark plugs out to inspect and clean if necessary.

Glad I did :D

And then lastly, the new battery went in, which fixed the problem altogether :)

It was a lovely day today also, so I decided to do some extreme modding ;)

New gearknob :D

at least 40bhp from that ;)

Thats all for now, thank you for looking!
