Yesterday, after leaving the mall, i was ready to go home and do some spirited driving (as spirited as the accord will push). Leaving the lot, the car felt really slow, but i wasn't sure if i accidently pushed the gears into the 3rd gate. I get to the light, signals green, and i pushed the pedal a bit. The car bogs and waiting for 3200 rpm for the holy vtec, the rev's jump up and down varying 500 rpm's each way of the tach. Now I'm confused and a bit worried. Tried it again at another light, same thing happens but i noticed the temp gauge jumped up a bit. Now, i'm really sweating and very worried.
I decide to force the car back home and i did make it to the drive way. Later on that night, i checked the fluids: water and oil. Water was a bit low, so filled that up. Mind you, water has always found it's way out of the motor and i could never keep water in my motor. **not good**
Out of curiosity, i pulled the dip stick and noticed something funny at the tip. **not good**
So, i poped open the 710 cap and "sh!t", i see black oil and then i see some caramel like stuff in there.
I guess that's where all that water went.
The car.. i don't know what i;m going to do with it. But i know i am buying another set of wheels.. hopefully; Volvo s60r, Lexus is300, (1st gen) Infiniti G35 (4-door) or an Acura TL.
kinda funny that i read 710 cap and didnt even contemplate its meaning
I dont get it we just put a new headgasket on it. I doubt that would leak. Perhaps VTEC got sick and dropped a load of diareah into you're oil. You should really treat your VTEC better.
Yeh, i looked for some s60r's but no dice. They're a bit hard to find, and finding the one you want is even harder.
I found a cool 6-speed g35 for 20K. It only had approx. 30k on the odo. But I think I might be leaning more towards the is300 as i can find them a bit lower price range (14k and local) and the abundance of them in manual trans.
