This is common so it is very possible it was already there and you just noticed it now. If you can't find anything wrong I would not worry about it .

 

Yeah...........I'll agree with that Brettus. Just thought I give him some things to check on. Yours haven't made it out of customs yet huh?

 

Naw.................you're fine. Sitting at a light with no A/C on, I idle between 800 and about 825-830. It fluctuates.

Start-up - I can honestly say that in 2 1/2 years of ownership, I never did not start the car when turning the key. Since I put in the igntion system, I did fail to start it twice upon using what I believe to be my normal methodtiming of starting. So............you could say that if we are really creatures of habit and if am consistant, then maybe it has changed slightly.

 

I have had my ignition solution installed for a few weeks now and it is awesome. The car is more responsive and feels like it pulls more throughout the rpm's. My idle is the same as it was with the oem igniton system.

 

Very much so.

It feels like the car is not as lazy especially when its hot out. My car used to feel very noticably awake when it was cold and when it was 90+ degrees out I was scared of Honda power. Now it always drives like it did when it was cold.

 

This may sound strange, and I didn't want to post it because I wanted to see if anyone else posted it in this fashion, but one thing I did notice was................

You know how you just get use to your car and the clutch release point(or speed at which you let it out) relative to RPM's and just how it feels without thinking about it.
Well, I did notice that at that supposed same release point(on muscle memory), that my car wants to jump a little more. That's why I called it more responsive and don't know if that's the proper term? But all other things being the same, I've had to feather(?) the clutch or adjust how I let it out just slightly as it definetely wants to jump in 1st and 2nd. It's not a big change, just one of those little things.............anybody else?
It's now 2nd nature on the new feeling, so life is good........and it was anyway!

 

What you are saying sounds similar to what I said a few days ago, but referenced differently.

The way I describe it is, it feels like more torque earlier. It feels like it makes the power it used to make at 5200 rpms, now at 4200 rpms. It feels like that throughout the revs. Which I think makes it so you are getting more power off the start just driving normal and if you let the clutch out the same as you used to, the same rpms and let it out at the same speed you might get the tires to slip a little easier without trying.

They say this might help your gas mileage but I can't stop mashing the gas more often so I think its just the opposite for me

I'm sure posts like these help the people waiting for their Ignitions to not be so anxious...

 

Yeah..........same thing. I just happened to notice it there first and the most.
I just don't mash it from a standing start that often. I usually won't even redline 1st.................but watch out 2nd and 3rd.

 

I installed mine friday night and took it out to our track day yesterday. It ran fabulously! I was pushing it hard lots of heavy acceleration and redlining and absolutely no misfires or problems. It felt very strong and people were commenting that they didn't expect me to be pulling away from them in the straights like I was.

It idles very smoothly and I don't seem to feel the noticeable dips in power at certain points in the rev. band that used to be there.

Love it!

 

yeah well it must be nice to have so much power that you don't care.:P -j/k

 

Tell me about it... I am the King of PWNING my savings account for sure..

 

When are you going to run higher boost with your Ignition so we can see what it does in the use it was really meant for?

 

Considering I am going FI soon and will need to Mazsport ignition system to get higher power I am going to get it. Did you install yours yourself?

 

note to all running 04s or 05s. if you disconnect the bat. you will have to do the ac amp button push or you will have that odd often cycling idle issue..


beers

 

ac amp button???

 

Ditto. Do explain as I qualify for said button pushing.

 

fkng search newbs!!!! damn it.. newbs!!!!

no really.

search ac amp. if you cannot find it i have it stored on my other computer.

i will say that if you have the ac on hi.. and it does not change to recirc. you need to do the button push..


beers

 

unfortunately, it seems the search function is crapping out... I'm doing searches and getting results that are completely unrelated, do not have the words in the title, and do not mention anything I search for within the threads (for both title only and within thread post searches).

Anyone else have better luck? link pls?

 

yep,

it is hard sometimes..

it works with the 04 and 05..

something like that.

beers

 

More like the search function is going soft.

 

could this be why my heater is acting a little funky? i had my battery unhooked like 2 weeks ago and ever since, if my heater is not on the hottest setting it will throw cold outdoor air into the car and not hot air.
