Its very important sensor; it tells the ecu what the air temp is right before combustion so the ecu can regulate fuel mix appropratly. No signal means you'll run under ghost limp mode because the car knows its on, but after a while the car will think that no air is getting to the engine there for no fuel should go into it aka why your car spudders for a bit. Until you change it, when you find the car dying off, pull of to the side (or if your an idiot like me while still rolling) turn it off, wait 2 seconds and turn it back on with your foot down on the throttle the whole way. It'll reset that shit.

BUT FIND ONE. +rep :d

It is torn there in a few spots and the corner piece on the window track is all stuck out while the passenger side is flat as a board. What should I do because it leaks a fair amount as in a small steady stream at times.

can you take any pics? to me thats perfect thats the motor blows up.

Unfortunately, I am not a very reliable source of good information when it comes to troubleshooting. All I know is what I have experienced, and that is very little when it comes to diagnosing problems. I too have some unused plugs from my swap and am also missing a plug for the IAT sensor. I have no clue where it is, if it is needed, or how to fix the issue. I wish I could be of more assistance, but at least I might have helped a little bit...kinda sorta. Good luck to you. I don't know why someone more useful hasn't replied to this thread, these all sound like valid questions to me, but what do I know? haha Have you tried searching for the answers in the search engine? ]]> General Tech and Maintenance raysee http://hondaswap.com/general-tech-maintenance/rough-idle-stumped-please-help-416441/ <![CDATA[Code-12 on a 89 prelude Q's]]> http://hondaswap.com/general-tech-maintenance/code-12-89-prelude-qs-419285/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:38:58 GMT AAAAaaaaaaaahhhh....!

Maybe It just doesn't want to get sold.

If I get some time, I'll take apart the box and look for a leaking hose or other damage.

Just odd it didnt hit anywhere else but those sides.

Did you actually see his head that he pulled off?

also is just me or did anyone notice the outer cylinder looks like its cracked at the top in the pic with the bad piston?
