have you checked ignition timing with a timing gun?
I think it's definitely ignition related.
are your grounds good? (valve cover, thermostat, tranny housing)?

Yea all of the ground are good.
This problem started after I adjusted the valve lash, maybe that affected it?

well there you go
Hondas are engineered pretty well. Usually when you change something and then a problem starts, it has to do with what you changed.

b series vtec engines recomend 93 or higher.... and a b16 has 10.5to1 and maybe higher depending on, the factory ecu is ment to use 93... not sayings its all ur prob but may help, did you adjust your valves like you said you were before in the ohter thread?
Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 4:16 pmSo should I pump the higher gas now?
I just adjusted the valves on saturday and it started freaking out ever since then.
Yeah im going to check the timing today maybe that will help.

Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 4:33 pmid double check the valves, they may be too tight, double check them you just want a slight drag on the feeler guage... and then id get high test gas... if you never touched the timing belt when you did your tuneup that shouldnt be an issue, but double checking dosent hurt...
