i recently got myself a used civic (85 950km's on the odo) V.I.N number indicates it was put together in the land of the rising sun (jhmek3.....followed by a whole lot of numbers.....) IT HAS THE D15Z7 3 STAGE VTEC ENGINE (it has two vtec solenoids), so far so good...the acceleration on this thing is ferocious,which tells me the vtec is working fine (at least the third stage)..however since i bought the car ive never seen the econo light come on whilst driving,it only lights up breifly wen i turn the key to the "on" position,,even more more perculiar is that my ABS,OIL,& ENGINE CHECK, NEVER EVER LIGHT UP, even with the key on the 'on' position,,,the other day i tried to to test my ABS brakes by applying full braking pressure from 50kph ,the outer front wheel locked before the others,is it supposed to do that help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also what are the recommended spark plugs for the D15Z7?????, i recently filled it up with castrol formula rs racing synthetic.
