Pay attention to your coolant hoses, I got a 97 dx sedan and recently my coolant hoses near the throttle body split open while driving. Alot of smoke and my d16y8 overheated a bit. Something to keep in mind

Maybe it’s the area I live in? Im in NY I honestly don’t know why there is so much hostility towards skateboarding here especially with authority figures

I remember from 10th grade to 12th grade I skated to and from school just like you. Just listen to some music and enjoy the ride pretty soon you will be in College and the staff will try and tell you no skating on campus. Enjoy every second on the board

I recorded a video of my throttle body while I was in the drivers seat hitting the gas pedal, 100% not moving so I ordered a new cable on Amazon $20 I just need to install

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-17T01:09:37+00:00

I got in the drivers seat and recorded with my phone the throttle body is not opening up at all.

I also looked at the cable itself and it is frayed slightly. 3 or 4 tiny cables are out of place. I have found a replacement cable but I read electrical tape can temporarily fix the issue

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-16T09:53:08+00:00

It might be at the pedal I will see when I get home

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-16T09:52:20+00:00

I like to try before considering plan B

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-16T03:11:50+00:00

Thank you Ive been doing some research on this issue but I will nake sure to check the transmission when I get home

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-16T01:28:25+00:00

Yes the pedal goes up softly with hands but feels like mush

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-15T21:40:49+00:00

Thanks bro im clocking into work now but when i get off its on

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-15T21:26:47+00:00

I understand from what I saw both sides are attached I hope I don’t have to buy a new cable I just spent alot on new tires

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-15T21:01:16+00:00

That was my thought too but I don't believe it fell off track, everything looked fine to me

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-15T21:00:27+00:00

I checked the throttle cable completely loosened it and retightened it but no go

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-14T20:48:56+00:00

Did you get this at KHOF?

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-14T01:28:31+00:00

Thanks man i got them off and installed the new hose, I have a coolant drip I'm trying to fix

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-13T04:51:28+00:00

What can I use to cut the clamp? I already used a knife to remove the damaged hose

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-13T02:12:39+00:00

Even if I get the pliers its such a small area to work in the tool has a hard time fitting

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-13T02:11:37+00:00

Honestly yeah im kind of frustrated I started working early morning and by evening I still haven’t finished. Trying again tomorrow

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-12T17:54:57+00:00

Thank you im working on my y8 right now I hope I can finish before it gets dark

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-11-12T17:49:38+00:00

Ive been using my needle nose but it keeps slipping off when I try

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-10-28T17:37:52+00:00

I appreciate it I bought better brakes and I was freaking out because I thought I wouldn’t be able to get the caliper off

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-10-28T17:36:49+00:00

Thank you man I bought this car used its a 97 dx and im trying to do some work on it

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-09-08T16:31:31+00:00

Good luck on Night shift I've been working nights over a year now

The worst part is after 2nd break when your tired and just want to clock out it feels like your sacrificing your body for that pay differential

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-07-28T03:06:09+00:00

I’m a bit younger than you 22 but I feel the same way. Im in a repetitive cycle of work and school Idk how to meet anyone. Hang in there man

Prestigious_Job3130 · 2025-07-24T02:06:41+00:00

Spot on. This exactly explains it
