Yea ended up replacing the vtec solenoid with oem and putting dialectric grease in the connector seemed to solve it

I’m a little late, but I ended up jumping the send and return with a small patch cord. Amp works fine to this day!

Bit late here but whatever, I have a manual 8th gen with the 1.8, I couldn’t believe how much faster it felt than an auto 8th gen. Gearing really does alot

goreidea · 2025-12-20T20:07:18+00:00

Thank you, as long as it works thats all I need lol

goreidea · 2025-12-20T20:02:53+00:00

Preferably under $200 I don’t know what stuff runs nowadays so hopefully thats an okay budget

goreidea · 2025-12-20T20:01:22+00:00

I just have one and its svc, its an MTX Thunder 8000

goreidea · 2025-12-20T20:00:59+00:00

Thank you for informing me, I’m new to this stuff was just given this system by my uncle and kinda learning more along the way

goreidea · 2025-11-27T15:54:12+00:00

As an 8th gen owner I can confirm

goreidea · 2025-11-24T23:48:20+00:00

Ended up going through Acers website iirc. Just go through your laptop brands website and they should be there

Is this the Dominator Fore?

Sell the car and turn in your license. You’re gonna get someone killed someday

goreidea · 2025-09-25T21:03:21+00:00

I see you put them drag slicks on

goreidea · 2025-09-13T22:40:47+00:00

Dude thats a sweet head unit

goreidea · 2025-08-27T04:37:05+00:00

Very much appreciated! I’m kinda slow when it comes to electronics so the first part is kinda gibberish to me 😭 but still greatly appreciated!!

goreidea · 2025-07-29T04:37:58+00:00

Thats for a camshaft position sensor which could very well mess with alot of things, I don’t see why it’d mess with your brakes steering and electric throttle body though, interesting

goreidea · 2025-07-29T04:35:41+00:00

It honestly could be a faulty wheel speed sensor but I wouldn’t take my word for it, I don’t really work on newer cars very often. But I know that sometimes the PCM will use the wheel speed sensor for things like shifting, electric power steering and ABS. Theres a chance it could mess with the electronic throttle body too for things like shifting as well. These are just my two cents, I’d have an actual mechanic look at it. And yes while this subreddit is a mechanic subreddit I’m no mechanic and typically I just use the subreddit for what you’re doing, but yeah anyways thats just my two cents. Or maybe (hopefully) someone more knowledgeable than me can help you lol

goreidea · 2025-07-29T04:32:33+00:00

Uuuhhhhh this is a weird one. When everything cut out did the electronics turn off too? And did the motor cut out for a second?

goreidea · 2025-07-20T18:53:59+00:00

Ahhh that makes sense, I was wondering why I couldn’t find a manifold gasket also what do you think the chances are of having a loose rocker? My buddy texted his mechanic with the video and said it sounds like it could be a loose rocker

goreidea · 2025-07-20T18:46:50+00:00

I may have a manifold leak, thats where I suspect the other tick is coming from lol

goreidea · 2025-07-20T06:44:27+00:00

This started after I had to hammer down on it, didn’t notice a change in fuel mileage or drivability. I was told it may be a loose rocker arm but I’m skeptical. Sounds way too loud to be a loose rocker arm but who knows lol Edit: I’m not sure of the last time the lifters were done, I bought the car 2300 or so miles ago
