SOMETIMES I HATE THIS CAR!!!!!!!

OK, new problem with my car again.

My car's check engine light keep coming on. When I first start it, no matter when, it always revs high. Then it will come down and the check engine light is on. The only other thing that it does is buck. That is annoying enough. I hate this car! I am so ready to sell it or trade it in, I cannot stand it! Damn times when I should have listened to my honda friends. I hate my FORD! I will never ever buy another ford again, no matter the type. A company that makes a car this shitty needs to be sued. ERRR!!!!!!

Thanks for listening to me vent.

First of all...Breathe in, breathe out...
Feel better now?"

Take the car to Auto Zone, they will check the CEL for free. It might be something really simple. I would rather own a bad running Contour than a good running Honda

But thats just my opinion

I would guess your CEL is an idle air speed control code.... bet the TSP sensor is bad...

Like Ken said, get the car to Autozone and get the code, then come back to us.

I'll second this bet!

My experiences tell me you could have a bad O2 sensor. When this happens the computer goes into closed loop which will always cause it to rev higher than normal. Many different specifics involved but that's my guess. Once you pull the code you'll know for sure. Being you have a 95 you should still have the OBDI or EEC4 system so you can pull the codes yourself.

What is a CEL?????

I am not very mechanical. I should have my mechanic check it out. I prefer my mechanic over autozone. But that is just me. I will let you all know. THANKS for the advice, but i am still selling this car. I like the way hondas look and they sound bad a$$ when they go over 4000 RMP!!!

A CEL is your Check Engine Light. Sometimes you may hear them called (but rarely here) MIL, or a Malfunction Indicator Light.

some hondas look crappy,, and most sound crappy ,, my 'tour sounds better with $40 worth of intake and exhaust than most fart can hondas do... my 'tour sounds better than my mom's civic

Honestly, hondas suck.

I beat this civic, and he had it all modded w/ intake and exhaust, (mine is 100% stock) it was pathetic.... bear in mind he had decals of "NOS", "FlowMaster" "Type-R" "Powered by Honda" etc... rice

.

I would be pretty lame of you to go to honda... it's too popular and trendy

. I hate hondas, they are crap just like daewoo (lol a daewoo performance site LOL

). Ford is good, it just sounds like you got a little maintenance problem w/ your O2 sensor, the computer goes into a "sh*t mode" so it makes you take it to a mechanic (theoretically), so they can fix the sensor through OBDII code readings.

OBDII is just "On Board Diagnostics [version] Two" It is like under the steering wheel I think, but will vary. It just takes raw readings from the cars ECM (Electronic Control Module [computer]) and put it in the scanner connected to the OBDII port and the scanner can decode the codes to see what the problem is. Also, OBDII's can also dyno a car if you are ever so cheap

... there is free programs on the net that graph car info from OBDII.

So back to my point, don't turn rice stay with for a bit more... try a mustang atleast before you travel your way to honda

.

Well, I can't sell it. My parents said no!

Oh well. Guess I have to take a lemon and make lemonade.

My muffler is cut off and it sounds pretty bad a$$! I saw these really nice wheels on Ebay. Will probably buy them. Anyway, I am going to have my mechanic look at it. Sorry, I haven't had time. Oh well. Its still runnin. I think it is my O2 sensor. We will see what happens.
I love beating rice too. Even though I would like a rice burner, just without the decals and all. I don't want to scream rice. I've also started a trend at school! Now all the other tours are getting one wipers too! HAHAHAHA!!!!

could u post about the one wiper mod? also a pic would be cool... i've seen two 240sx's in town and both (one actually looked good) had GT-R badges ,,, i think that just ruins the whole point of modding your car.... i've got a girl at skool wanting me to make her an intake and all this stuff.... she's nott gonna get the body kit though. so i'll still be the pimpedest 'tour in town.

I would love to see a pic of the one wiper mod.
Also Hondas r all flash for a whole s*#t load of money.

Don't get me wrong, we also have to spend a nice piece of change for ours mods, but we have one thing that hondas would love to have, 130 ft. lbs. of torque.

I cut off my muffler as well and my check engine light is on too, it also lags when you drive it. but I guess thats the O2 sensor malfunctioning. I am glad that I'm not the only one who has this problem and that you guys know wha t the problem is. thanks.

96 gl 5spd 2.0 with many future mods

1995's are 8 years old and expecting them to run like new is a bit much to ask.

I am not at all expecting my car to run like new. Far from it. BUt I would like it to run well. Anyway, My problem must have lied in the whole air filter thing. My dad took it to the shop with the airbox back on and they checked it over and said that it was good to go. Plugged a censor back in and my dad said it drove home perfectly fine, with no CEL! I had to work tonight so I could not get to do it myself. I will drive it all tomorrow and see if it comes on with me driving it. Johnny, my CEL came on after I had my oil changed. My muffler had been off for like a month. But my CEL was coming on sporatically (If that is even a word). I would have it checked out by a mechanic or something like that. I am also back to two wipers. With this Tropical storm sh!t it is killing my vision. I have a picture of "Trouble" (My car's name) around here somewhere with one wiper and her foglamps. Which are about to be put back on. Yestrday I got spanked by a DOHC Neon. It was horrible and she had an automatic.

I am going to double check and make sure I answered as much as I should have.

OOPS!!! My bad! Everyone knows the question they asked and the answers are there. Kremit (i think thats right) yeah making an intake for a 240SX??? Somewhat out of my district. I am somewhat lost for right now. SO anyone can email me and I will respond to them with my answer. Sorry it is late at night.

i'm not looking to make an intake for a 240sx just waz posting about them. a girl with a mystique wants me to make her intake,, which i know how to do... i just wanna see the one wiper.

Yeah I realize that now. I will try to find a pic around my house somewhere. It was really late at night and I just got off of work.
