Good job on the 15.4...

Doesnt the heat soak really piss you off? I mean it's like you know you have a quick car, but when you really need to be quick and spank someone you cant because your car is hesitating/sluggish.

It's getting to the point where I cant stand driving my car anytime after about the first 10 minutes of driving. It's just slow as a snail.:(

- Since I am running low 16's with a warm engine, there were Civics running that time easy. It pisses me off--> Aaron (92 SE Auto) 16:13:08 6/21/2002 (2)
  - Nope, VTC's fixed the noise and top end. This issue shouldn't be called a "heat soak" problem though... RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 16:32:03 6/21/2002 (1)
    - I've done this sort of engine work on domestic engines, but not my VE. Thanks RosenKen. n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 17:52:24 6/21/2002 (0)
- Have you guys replaced your knock sensor? It goes bad after 10+ years! n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 14:50:21 6/21/2002 (6)
  - Is there any way to tell if the KS is for sure bad? I mean I dont want to waste the time/money if I'm not eve sure it's bad =) nm James (92 SE auto) 17:26:46 6/21/2002 (0)
  - Ah! I've been looking for you. You changed yours and it fixed the heat soak sluggishness?? n/m Jeff92se (92se) 14:51:15 6/21/2002 (4)
    - Nope, but when the problem got better after I advanced my timing, I added it all up... RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:04:05 6/21/2002 (3)
      - It could be the KS is more sensitive when old. It does indeed pull the timing way back. Ecu should only do something when the KS sends a singal though n/m Jeff92se (92se) 15:14:27 6/21/2002 (2)
        - By the way, a new KS is about $124 from Courtesy n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:26:15 6/21/2002 (0)
        - Well I've never heard a ping on my engine, and I am running 91. KS's are known to cause hesitation when bad. n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:25:40 6/21/2002 (0)
