Long story short, i blew my motor on my 1996 sohc ex civic. Spent 1500.00 and had my mechanic replace the motor.
I get the car back and it runs fine. Only took it aorund the block.
I then try to recharge the a/c because it was empty. I hook up the bottle and hoses and discover that there is a 1/4" hole in the LOW a/c line. Apparently the short ram air intake brushed up against it and made a hole. I found out there was a hole because as I was attempting to put the refridgerant into the system, a HUGE stream of refridgerant shot out of the a/c line which is right by the air filter on my short RAM intake.
At the same time I saw the refridgerant shoot out of the hole, the car started to sputter and spurt and a CEL light came on.
Now the car BARELY idles.....it hangs on at 100rpm even after it is warmed up.
What did I do?
Did the refridgerant that was shooting out of the line somehow get in the short RAM air intake and into the engine?
I also noticed that the sensor that plugs into the little rubbber grommet on my intake is missing. Could that cause the idle to be crappy?
