Just an update on the car.

Today, i did clean the egr ports and plate, checked the injector o-rings seems it was replaced by ptevious owner. Cleaned solenois too, no gunk at all, so i did replace the trans hose from cooler to tranny and installed a magnetic filter.

I still had extra time, so i bleed the brakes and did a radiator flush twice. Check all connections and wirings for resistance and fuses too.

Long day today but it was all worth it, car runs smooth now and shifts better. Oh and adjusted the trans cable too. Not to mention My mpg seemed to increase.

Thank you pahonda and poorman212. Thank you HAf

Before i was just doing 300-310miles a tank when i got the car 3-4months ago.

With all the help from HAF..

Another update on the car.

So i drove from norcal to socal, car was running smooth just felt a little hesitation on cruise, maybe i need to replace thr fuel filter and sparkplug wires.

Anyhow, i wanted to thank all the peeps in HAF for helping me out. Replaced, oil and filter, drain and refill dw1 4 times, cleaned egr ports and injectors holes, cleaned solenoids, flushed radiator twice and pump 35psi on all tires.

I did reach 478miles on a tank. I think it is good enough for my 2.2l a/t 183000miles.


Hoping to kick in the 500mile barier.

Thank you again HAF

I'm glad that the car is running smoother and increased the mpg. Hopefully you will have the routine maintenance to do from now on.
