Too many cranks before start and fuel consumption

[dougie_504]

Was just pushing the air out bro. Cold day, fan didn't come on, but now that it's worked it's way out and you've topped it up it'll be fine.

Driving 10km in 30-40 minutes is terrible, however if you were to drive longer distances on the freeway your longer gearbox ratios would be a God-send.


Could somebody please direct charliebrown and myself to the Integra workshop manual? I've never bothered looking for it lol. We'll inspect plugs in a couple of weeks, and check/clean O2 sensor.

In the meantime Pete just try to drive nicely, don't fang your car everytime you get moving again. Keep the throttle lowish so it doesn't rev over 2500 or 3000RPM. And at least the engine is running warm now - that's peace of mind for your internals

Yeah that's dog-balls. My '94 VTi is getting 8.5-9L/100 and I'm not even happy with that.

Your engine running cold all the time?

Andy help me find a cheap civic vtec. I want a cheap to run daily with some punch!

[dougie_504]

Cheap with punch...hmmm...maybe you should have bought a VTiR?

Check out EK4's bro. And burn your Integra otherwise you'll never get enough money for it lol

not all the time. My trips are mainly to and from school or mates house so around 4kms and to work twice or thrice a week which is around 7kms and to tafe 2 times a week which i think is around 15km all of these are one way. I think one of these weekends ill fill it up and go for a long high way drive to see if it makes a diffrence. I do give it a spirited drive now and again but only fill up with caltex 95 octane.

EG5 or EJ8, even though its SOHC, its still a good motor for what it is, an vtec

Fuel wise, average 10/100kms well for me that is, but thats with mods an that i find appauling, even after servicing spark plugs, filters changed an all....:/

stock they should b getting closer to 12/100kms

But as dougie said, EK4 or VTiR DC2, go DC2, better engine, better seats

Lol vtir is like extinct... Carsales cheapest one in vic is 15k looks like dick. Theres too many civics around... Got no clue which ones are which and what engines theyre running. Gsi with more ks than mine that are stock and ugly go for like 9-10k on carsales. Ive spent 13k so not too bad a loss.

Try bp ult or vpower bro. Heard caltex jizz in their fuel or something and make it not good

Hey dougie,

A while back I grabbed a number of workshop manuals relating to my car and motor from some yank Spooner Tuner site (http://www.spoonertuner.com/) but it seems the webpage listing all the manuals (http://www.spoonertuner.com/manuals) is down right now throwing some error and lots of useless code.

Fortunately I had the direct links saved in history to be able to get the directory listing:
http://www.spoonertuner.com/media/do...manuals/honda/
Integra is in this one - http://www.spoonertuner.com/media/do...manuals/acura/

Hope that helps. Might be good to sticky the links or host it on ozhonda in case it gets taken down in the future?

Ive tried bp 95 octane and fuel usage was the same but ever since ive used it the car takes one crank longer to start up but ill give it a go.

I heared that shell V power isnt the best and its a rip but ill still try it. Would running 98 in a stock civic be worth it though? wouldnt the engine ping?

Ive pretty much narrowed it down to 3 possibilities
1) short trips = high fuel usage
2) car is meant to use 91 octane and im running 95
3) car was sitting around in the dealer lot for to long and even though they serviced the car before giving it to me something has not been detected.
