Thanks for all the tips, I didn't have gauges to know where WOT is yet but I just got my ultra gauge today and will be putting the vacuum gauge in this weekend. So I guess I was doing light throttle to keep it from running rich.
So it's better to accelerate in 4th gear instead of 3rd? Also, I should stay under the vtec range of 4400? I didn't know how to test onramp acceleration since it's so brief.
Warmup is another thing to figure out, I let it idle for 1 minute then drove slowly and the needle hadn't even moved yet to get on the highway. Nowhere to plug in a block heater at work either or I'd get one. I just read there are remote starts that run for 10 minutes every 2 or 3 hours, I'll have to look into that.
