@SolarMike - Why did you delete your answer? You gave him the right information whether he wanted to follow it or not. If he did follow it and the coil didn't fire, that would tell me the coil is bad; get a new one.
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 Well, undeleted now and added a bit of info - and borrowed your bit about "not working - replace"... Just spent two mins looking for how to reply on here - bottom part of window was hidden below the edge of the screen - and there was me thinking I was computer literate ... what an ID10T ! Hopefully he will have a spark now and should be good to go. You give "free" advice - if they had to take it to a shop and pay...
@SolarMike I've had that issue (hidden reply line) on Safari and Chrome on my phone and iPad.
Blue car comes back from the body shop today with a nice shiny new front bumper. just need to swap some parts over to the GXP, get SOS detailed and put it up on the auction block.
I ordered a set of injectors for the Civic off of eBay on Saturday. I thought they might be in by the end of the week. Got here today, woot! Put them in and the engine runs golden. Smooth as silk. I still need to find the oil leak, but I have narrowed it down to the front oil seal (hopefully) or the oil pump (painfully). We'll see. I'll start pulling that part of it apart tomorrow and hopefully have it back together by Friday.
Anyway, I guess that's one step forward. All of the r134a has leaked out of it (absolutely no pressure in the system at all) while it was sitting. I' bought a can of dye/sealant as well as enough regular to fill the system. I'll be working on that as soon as I get the oil leak fixed. Then the car will be in fairly good mechanical shape. I need to replace some suspension parts in the rear which I'm pretty sure have worn out. Typical wear parts for Civics. Debating on putting something ...
... slick in or keeping it stock (new oem parts). Performance aftermarket parts for the Civic are uber cheap. I'll probably just go that route.
I’ve used the dye successfully on three vehicles. If you put enough in, have an actual UV light, and the filter / goggles, there’s no reason (I can think of) that you wouldn’t be able to trace the leak.
No mods, just getting a copy before tweaking. And it went nuts. You need a vehicle-specific license ($$) to write to the ECU / ECM / whatever. Which we did not have.
