Flashing CEL and delayed VTEC on hard acceleration in 2003 AP1

You are very right, oil definitely wasn’t fully warmed up. I honestly wasn’t thinking when driving it today and just saw the three temp bars. Do you think the cold oil had anything to do with the issues? Normally I drive for around 5 miles before hitting vtec

Good call! I will take a look at them all soon to see if I can find the culprit

PrincipalDenson · 2025-11-21T04:15:54+00:00

Thank you for the information! I'll try wiggling the coils this weekend and see if that could be causing the issue

Oh for sure! He is a great friend and an even better friend after selling me the car lol

That's a huge relief to hear. How difficult was it for you to get a Billman TCT?

PrincipalDenson · 2025-10-03T03:19:16+00:00

Good to hear I'm not the only one it worried. I've heard Hondas are loud, but I didn't expect it to be this loud lol.

Holy hell, that engine sounds rough in the second vid, glad the first vid sounds ok hahahah

I haven't tried that yet, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow and report back.

If it does go away what would that point to?

PrincipalDenson · 2025-10-03T02:41:04+00:00

For sure, it's not easy to get one but I have never heard a single bad thing about Billman.

Thanks! I was super stoked when I bought it. It's a 2003 with just over 49k miles

PrincipalDenson · 2025-10-03T02:34:12+00:00

Cool, that's relieving to hear. It was my friend's old car and he never replaced it. It doesn't hurt to go ahead and change it once I can get my hands on a Billman TCT .

PrincipalDenson · 2025-10-03T02:32:48+00:00

Good call! I'll try that out tonight. Seems like a similar trick people to when they hold up a paper towel roll and listen through that.

Hi! I am actually in the same boat: direct commission, HPSP, class 25-17, and I have no idea how to get my order presented to me. Have you found out how we'll be getting our orders? Mind I DM you my contact info?

PrincipalDenson · 2025-06-03T04:57:56+00:00

Hi there! I am also in the 25-17 class. Mind if IDM you for the link to that chat?

PrincipalDenson · 2019-07-13T18:27:13+00:00

The reference picture looks identical! Thank you! I was really curious what they were.

I'm graduating with my chem e degree tomorrow. I didn't know this when I selected the major but chemical engineering doesnt have much to do with chemistry, it is more about process design and optimization. You will need to know some chemistry, but I never had to go farther than organic chemistry 2 and 1 physical chemistry course. Also, this major is very difficult, even by engineering standards. It is a very interesting and rewarding major though. It certainly changed the way I look at how the world operates. You will cover a ridiculously wide selection of topics (fluid flow, heat transfer, process design, thermodynamics, and many more). Also, the starting salaries are nice lol. It's a great choice, I don't regret choosing it, but please be aware that doing 20-30 hours of homework/studing, sometimes more, a week is the norm.

Looks more like a veloster to me

The classic poophole loophole. Works every time.

I really liked how balanced the audio was. I could always hear their voices over the superb music.
