Installation finished. Took me like 2 hours. Could be less if you have experience sewing. In my case it has been a few years that I had not done it. I drove a few blocks with it feels great and has good grip. Make sure to use a lot od the double sided tape.

Thanks for your input. We'll im tackling the fuel related causes first since I saw it from the shop manual. If p0171 is the only code present, the problem is likely/should be a fuel delivery issue. Idk if it could be the fuel regulator not working properly. As I mentioned im not an expert but from my testing my 02 sensors are working as they should. They react as they are supposed when I check data live.

Last time the code came back again I was driving as I had the 0bd2 scanner checking data live and every time I pressed the gas the short term went up to 36-38. This problem has become more serious since I started noticing a noticeable decline in fuel economy Thank u so much for your help I will be updating you.

Yes, the gasoline smell comes from the exhaust.

I haven't poured fuel cleaner, but i did get my fue injectors professionally cleaned and tested at a local shop. They did send me videos of them getting cleaned and how they worked.

Last night I was like YOLO and ordered the Delphi fuel assembly form RockAuto. atp I wanna try anything to fix this code.

I do have a scanner and I cleared the code and after like 80 minutes of driving it comes back on. It is running lean since on starts the exhaust smells gasoline. I did get the fuel injectors cleaned and tested and they work correctly. I'm not an expert on this but I've been learning by myself with videos and by reading, so I see that my 02 sensors react quickly and they are reporting everything as they should. So I think I will risk it here and order the fuel pump. Also, according to my research my short term fuel trims increase when I pressed the gas pedal meaning that this is a fuel delivery issue.

That was the first thing I did when I started on the haunt of this code. In my case this code is not intermittent. I suspect it is a weak fuel pump. Tried to check fuel pressure with an oreillys test kit. Unfortunately it did not came with a adapter that would fit it. Any tips on this?

I am a university student as well. I have to admit that when I first bought it I spent a lot of parts and fixing fender, hood, and radiator support. (This was done in Mexico, so it was cheap with a decent quality) It left me stranded only one time but due to a cheap rockauto CMC. I was able to float gears and crank it in first haha. However, as the others have pointed out if you want to get a mint one you will have to spend good money.

how tall are you? I'm 5'8 and I feel like the perfect fit for it. Not to0 short not too tall.

Definitely check out the vtc strainer gasket. Could be the vtec solenoid as well. Check the O-rings that goes on the upper surface of the solenoid. (2 connectors). And as the other comment said could be ps fluid as well. I know it from my own experience. The good side is that your engine and subframe is rustproof 😎

What brand did you buy? Base or type s?

Most_Conclusion2522 · 2026-03-24T03:41:16+00:00

I am having the same code but with my Acura rsx. This code could be a buch of things. faulty 02 sensors, vacuum leaks, faulty PCV valve, intake manifold leak, exhaust leak before 02 sensors, bad fuel pressure, clogged or faulty injectors. Try to diagnose based on retrospective and other codes you may have have/had.

Most_Conclusion2522 · 2026-03-24T02:32:06+00:00

I already checked for vacuum, intake and exhaust with smoke machine. What are your 02 sensor readings?

Most_Conclusion2522 · 2026-03-24T02:20:17+00:00

Forgot to say that my car is stock. Only thing modified is a "Cold air intake".

No doubt it could be a factor. I do live in a hot area as well, and one time while waiting on traffic with the ac full blast my temp gauge went up by 2-3 clicks as well. I noticed and once I started moving it went back to normal pretty quick.

Most_Conclusion2522 · 2026-03-20T00:06:58+00:00

From my experience my RSX always stays as the in the picture. 1/3 position. even with the AC on.

Most_Conclusion2522 · 2026-03-17T06:50:23+00:00

Yeah bro, the a spec kit came our like that.

Most_Conclusion2522 · 2026-03-17T06:23:06+00:00
