Question. Its throwing a code 43 and lags in any gear every now and then. Lagging as in I can hold it at 40 mph in 4th with very little throttle, then it'll lose power and make a really loud hum. If I let off the gas it'll buck a little and recover. If I floor it it'll buck really bad and then recover. I can shift gears and it won't buck at all. also the idle drops really low regardless of temp (some days it idles perfectly fine) are the 3 of these related?

Hey, I remember this post from awhile back:
CEL 43 is basically a "I need a tune up" code as far as I'm concerned. The fuel filter, spark plug, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, and Oxygen Sensor. Fuel Filter $10, easy to replace Spark plugs $12, easy to replace Wires (Ranges), easy to replace ($40-$75. But the $75 NGK 'blues' have a lifetime warrenty I think) Distributor cap $12 easy to replace Rotor $5, easy to replace O2 Sensor (ranges), moderately difficult ($50~) These can be hard to replace depending on location and if they are seized. If you need any help with instructions, just post it here and I'm sure I'll check and post something. The basic tune up stuff is really quite easy. |

It may not have one? If it does, there should be black hose (heater hose) going to and from it on the throttle body. |

They were good cars but a large portion of them ended up being shit heaps due to ricers and people generally not maintaining them. Also some of those earlier v-tec engines were nothing short of little noisy grenades. You should take out your anger on it before you scrap it! With a sledgehammer or perhaps a baseball bat! That's what I did to my pontiac lemans and what I'm going to do to my cadillac

You should put it on craigslist for 700. Some kid will buy it. Beats getting 250 for scrap. |

Tears. That 5 speed tranny is worth almost that. Honestly, I sold a motor and engine out of one of these for $300. You can get em at that price or cheaper all day every day. If the body was decent, it would have been worth keeping. I hate to see a Honda get scrapped. |

The crusher is the devil! I love my budget friendly 90s cars. The crusher is ruining my used parts business. |
