    New X-pipe-P0156, P0174 codes

    Just to follow up on this... My Service Engine Soon light was continuing to go on and off for a couple of weeks with a P0156 code. I ordered new rear O2 sensors and installed them today. The rear driver's side sensor (which was throwing the code) seems to have failed. It rattles when I...

    New X-pipe-P0156, P0174 codes

    The information is appreciated. So, after I moved the clamps and re-tightened them as I stated in my last post, I did see the P0156 code the next time I drove the car. I have been monitoring the O2 sensor data as I have been driving for the past few days, and the rear driver side O2 sensor...

    New X-pipe-P0156, P0174 codes

    My concern with the rear sensors are the MIL eliminators. If I understand correctly, in an off-road set-up, there are no cats to burn excess fuel, so the rear O2s sense a rich condition and throw a code. The MIL eliminators filter that signal and send an acceptable value back to the PCM. If I...

    New X-pipe-P0156, P0174 codes

    I will re-tighten the nuts at the driver's side header to x-pipe joint. I know that I tightened them to the proper torque value, but maybe they came a little loose or require more tightening. Given that the problem only seems to be on Bank 2, I agree with you that there may be an exhaust leak...

    New X-pipe-P0156, P0174 codes

    I have a 2000 GT. I installed a Bassani catback exhaust and Bassani X-pipe about 10 years ago along with some MIL eliminators soldered into the rear O2 sensor harnesses. I needed to replace the X-pipe due to a rattling sound possibly caused by a small slit in the heat shield area. I replaced...

    Part Number Request (Hose)

    I literally took the hose into Advance, and they had proper size in stock in the back. It is a 1" outer diameter and 5/8" inner diameter hose.

    Accel Fuel Injectors

    I have a 2000 GT with ~150,000 miles. I decided to replace my stock fuel injectors with some Accels. I purchased the same flow rate as my stock ones (19 lbs./hr). After install, my car seemed like it had a loss of power and seemed to hesitate at times. The injectors appeared to be installed...

    Non start issues, bad fuel pump?

    Just trying to have him check everything thoroughly and check harnesses between components so he does not spend money he does not have to.

    Non start issues, bad fuel pump?

    I am not looking at my IFS switch at the moment, but you would need to check voltage of the PNK/BLK wire with everything connected (can use a paper clip to probe). Double check that is the wire that leads to the FPDM. I would verify voltage out of the FPDM for the first 3 seconds after key on...

    Non start issues, bad fuel pump?

    I do not agree with GDawg. I think he is leaving the FPDM out of the process. Start by check voltage OUT of the IFS with key on. This determines if the problem is upstream (IFS, fuses, CCRM, etc.) or downstream (FPDM, fuel pump). Post your results. You can also check this thread for more...

    Rear Wheel Spacer Question for ya

    1-1.5" seems like a lot, even by looking at your pictures. For the rears, make sure you are measuring from the top outside of the tire to the inner lip of the wheel well when the rear wheel is near the top of its travel. That lip is sharp and could probably do some damage if you go over a...

    Non start issues, bad fuel pump?

    I was just thinking that the pump could be working, but you may not be hearing it. A scan tool or gauge could confirm. If you suspect the fuel pump, the ideal place to start is the IFS (Inertia Fuel Shutoff) Switch in the trunk. First, make sure the red button is depressed. Then, check for 12...

    Non start issues, bad fuel pump?

    Can you get your hands on a scan tool or a fuel pressure gauge to monitor the pressure when you cycle the key like burns suggests? Fuel pressure should be between 30-45 psi while your engine is running.

    Rear Wheel Spacer Question for ya

    I have a 2000 GT with the same wheels and same size tires. Before I put mine on, I checked the clearances with my stock wheels with the wheels at the limits of their travel (the entrance to my driveway requires a lot of suspension travel). My car is lowered, and the outside of the rear tires...

    New Injectors, Loss of Power

    I noticed that the Accel injectors do not have a pintle cap like the stock injectors. The Accel injector is shown here. The stock injector is shown at the top of the page here. It appears that the o-ring to o-ring distance is longer on the Accels. I wonder if that would cause any issues (like...

    New Injectors, Loss of Power

    wmburns, What is your recommended method of finding a vacuum leak? I did use new o-rings, and I lubed them with oil. The PCV valve is relatively new, so I have not checked it. It was removed and reinstalled, but that is it. What is the best way to check it? Shake to ensure a rattle sound...

    New Injectors, Loss of Power

    I was not aware the pintle was part of the o-ring kit. I will give that a try. Thanks. I replaced the spark plugs with Autolite 764's which is what I have always used. They were all gapped to .054". I am not aware of any way to change the firing order, so I assume that is correct. One spark...

    New Injectors, Loss of Power

    2000 GT with 150000 miles, daily driver. I installed some new fuel injectors and spark plugs last weekend. The old injectors were stock (19 lbs./hr), and I replaced them with Accel injectors of the same rate. While accelerating, I notice a loss of power, particularly at around 3000 rpms. It...

    A/C Compressor Question

    I checked the A/C compressor in my wife's Acura, and her clutch pulley seemed to operate as mine currently is operating. Reading some more about A/C compressors and mine in particular...it appears the clutches are supposed to cycle while the A/C is on. So, it appears that the compressor is...

    A/C Compressor Question

    I have a slight rattling sound coming from the bottom of the engine/transmission area. I notice it occasionally at idle. I do not really notice it while driving, but I am thinking it that may be because of the exhaust and other general engine noise. I did notice it while driving up the...
