Need some help from my fellow Insighters.
1 - I busted the driver side window this afternoon. One rock while weedeating was all it took
*s there a cheaper alternative other than $173 @ Majestic Honda? I would use plexiglass or Lexan, but it's gotta be legal and tintable
2 - the car threw a P0171 code yesterday. A Google searched showed that this is rare for the Honda Insight with no clear answer as to the culprit. Any ideas?
Some info on what was happening to suspect that something was amiss. There was no check engine light, I had to pull it off the ScanGauge. I could be cruising along and the car would lose a small amount of power. The timing would be really low and my mpgs took a hit. The only time i observed this on all gauges was pulling a small incline in town at 35 mph in 5th gear, ~60-65% load. The timing dropped from 21 to 9 and my mpgs went from 65 to 50-55. Power dropped. It stopped after about 10 seconds though. The other times it went on for up to 2 minutes at a time, but happened 4 or 5 times over the course of about an hour of driving. It has never done this before last night too.
I'm thinking EGR, front and possibly rear O2 sensors (I have a P0420 code as well) or a fuel problem near the fuel pump.
If something doesn't make sense (I am dead tired), let me know and I will calrify it asap
3 - How much grill block is advisable going into summer? I want to have as close to 100% as possible. Would the top opening be sufficient if the air could be routed downward through the radiator?
