    It could very well just be me. I have had trouble keeping off it also. I too noticed a change in my exhaust. It sounds alot deeper than it used too. I also switched to mid grade to see if it would make any difference with all that extra air. Havent really noticed too much. BTW what size is the v6 compared to the I4?

    I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

    I know the V6 is 60mm not sure about how big the I4 TB is.

    and yeah I've been running 93 since I swapped the motor and the SES blinks at me if I go down a grade. wierd right? lol.

    My exhaust went from Honda to nice deep tone.

    well, considering I switched to 93 as soon as we got the new motor running, its really hard to compare. Although, back when my dad drove the car and mindlessly put 89 in it the car got more sluggish and less responsive. Then as I said, I accidentally put 87 in it and the SES flashed and blinked at me. I thought it was wierd because I've never heard of that happen, but I guess once it gets used to a certain octane it LOVES that octane.

    ^^I may be able to get you one frommy job, Ill let you know as soon as I find out. To every one else I "reset" the ECU and turned the idle back up a little and after a week of driving I havent gotten another SES light and it seems to do alot better. Def drinks less gas now that I got used to not trying haul ass everywhere........ Its just so easy now.

    Well I made it 4 days with no SES the first time, and almost two weeks this time. However, it is back again, and its annoying as hell. I gotta try to get my hands on a new IAC.

    If you go to the first page there is a pic that says, "unplug the IAC." If you look at the pic thats the IAC.
