Reset the ECU, replace the air filter if it is dirty & clean the Mass Air Flow Sensor.

As for bumpier ride, try to take some air out from your tyres. The SC could have pump in a little more air into the tyres. Over inflated tyres will give you bumpier ride. This is because the tyres cannot absorb the bumps if they are over inflated.

All these won't reduce your engine noise bro. If you want to reduce your engine noise, you can opt for thicker engine oil but since you're using Fully Synthetic which is rated at xW-40, I think it's alrite already. If you want to save more fuel, the semi synthetic engine oil which is rated at 5w-30 should do the trick.

just a friendly reminder bro.. security tint is just to provide better security.. harder to break. darker tint u gonna get urself in trouble with JPJ.  nod.gif so i wouldnt suggest to tint darker for a safety purpose. the best way is to keep ur belongings away from the car. planned out ur journey. bring your stuff along with u even if its heavy.. its better than luring these mofos to target ur car.

NHC shouldn't have a throttle head or throttle body. The throttle is controlled electronically or should I say "Drive By Wire". What you meant should be the Mass Air Flow Sensor which is located in the air filter box.

Not sure where I read but in here wan, but yeah some
Sensor thingy ... Should be that la

Hey guys, I got some doubt. My HC is 1 year old already & I noticed that the fuel consumption increased, the engine noise/ engine knock is a bit louder & the ride is bumpier than usual (suspension problem?). The mileage is around 26k & I always service my car at honda service center. Currently using fully synthetic engine oil. So are these problems very common among HC user after 1 year???
*
I have the same problem,but after change the recall "lost motion spring" and just 25K milage.

For our city, 7K is pushing the limits. 6.5K for shift is enough. You go to 7k and you miss shift, you engine will jerk in S mode, hurts the engine.

I find it quite easy to rev to 7k though, and of course i do it only when launching off the green light / overtaking brows.gif
Oh and by the way, the transmission is programmed to avoid accidental mis-shift
So if you happen to press "downshift" at high rpm it wouldn't let you
No harm done, rest assured icon_rolleyes.gif

Hmm. Is there such protection?
I tried to shift to 1st gear when I'm still running at around 30km/h to 40km/h, it still downshift successfully.
The car just jerk to almost a halt and the car behind almost knocked into my car because there is no brake light.
But I'm tried upshift to 4th gear when I'm running at 40km/h, it will not allow though.

I think the car has its own mind.

Mine happens if I drag in 7k too long. If i dont shift, confirm engine jerk.

I installed STP hood solution last week.

Added on July 16, 2011, 10:39 pmI also got these 2 installed this afternoon.

It sure makes a whole lot of difference while cornering. Steering much lighter and less body roll. Easy to maneuver car.

Before this, I only had front strut bar and rear anti-roll bar.

What's the use of the hood solution? Does it eliminate engine noise?

I'm thinking of the UR bar too but I'm afraid it will increase the body weight and increase fuel consumption.

Yeap, engine much more slient. Stock there is barely any sound insulation. I am gonna take photo of the hood tomorrow morning.

Well, the bars sure contribute a certain amount of weight. Not too concerned about FC since I am running 17" rims.

For me it feels that way. I think suspension, rims and tyres also play a difference. I dont think we running same configuration.
