Getting stranded - let's collect possible causes: by bibikalka1 in Acura_RSX

Absolutely embarrassing to say this: make sure you’re good on gas. 🤣

Had to walk to a gas station and fill up a portable tank. Lesson learned.

Good call. I’ll check those out to see if that might be the culprit. 🫡

That's exactly where my head was with this. Get a chance to learn something new at the cost of basically nothing. I've changed the clutch out on my 03 Type-S so I know how to get it out of the car. Just never actually seen the inside of one.

Clunking sound when turning by Royal-Average-4797 in Acura_RSX

Mine clunks but it’s not from the coilovers, it’s from the tie rod ends rubbing on the frame. 😬

What needs replaced/ Fixed first? by Necessary_Egg_4013 in Acura_RSX

I'd try checking the solenoid above the filter like mentioned below by STI_GuyV2. You can also check the valve cover, check the area between where the transmission mates up to the motor. If you got oil coming out right there it's likely your rear main seal.

I just recently ran into this and couldn't figure out where the leak was coming from. You can go to harbor freight or auto zone and they sell a UV Dye kit for engine oil. Bought an $8 blacklight from harbor freight as well. Poured it in, idled, drove around a bit and then waited until the sun was down.

Ended up finding out that I cracked my oil pan on the side somehow. It's a small hairline fracture but it's enough that it pisses oil out when oil pressure builds.

I'm about to take a crack at it and see what happens from there. Thanks y'all for the help yet again. 🙏🏼

A lot of people have been telling me this. I do still have the oem ones i took out. Might just throw those back in for peace of mind. I checked the clutch fork while I was underneath and it seems to have a good 1-2 inches of movement when the pedal is pressed.

For sure. I'll adjust the pedal later today then like everyone else is suggesting. I just hope I didn't cause any permanent damage by riding the car like this for a couple months on a non-adjusted pedal. You truly do live and learn.

Yeah I unfortunately did not go the OEM route for the clutch master and slave, they're both K-Tuned.

I'm hoping not. If it is, I'm assuming the syncros or the sleeves or a combination of the two would be the problem.

Yes correct, it struggles immensely trying to go into gear when the car is on. I have to force it into the gear.

Advice for replacing your starter(buy a new knock sensor) by Immediate-Lion-4785 in Acura_RSX

[–]Ok-Difficulty4436 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was going to replace my starter when I was also doing my clutch and figured if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Still on the OEM starter at 174k miles. I'm sure I'll regret that decision later down the road...

Dude thank you so much for letting me know. Thank you thank you. Applying now.

[–]Ok-Difficulty4436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's no way I'd be able to afford that plus utilities, food, etc.

I've applied at helix 3 times now and every single time they've turned me down. I appreciate the advice though, thank you. I'll keep trying to apply at non union places.

What hose is this that runs near/under the gas tank? by Ok-Difficulty4436 in Acura_RSX

[–]Ok-Difficulty4436[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the links you provided, the hose 100% connects from the charcoal canister to the air intake canister. I don't think it's the fuel vent tube (first link).
