I forgot that you had left some over at the house. They didn't work, by the way. The wires running from the switch were too small. I'm not sure how I'm going to rewire it, at the moment. I'll either solder some bigger wires on the switch and use the tap-ins, or I'll wire it like I had the other ones. Either way, it was still too soon after hooking up the clutch switch, my back was killing me about 15 seconds in.

This thing may have spoiled all other cars for me, lol!

Makes a boring commute fun trying to best myself every time I get in it

I remove my seat whenever I work on my brake/clutch stuff. Removing the seat takes about 10 minutes and saves a lot of back pain.

Yeah, I will definitely be removing the seat to work on it. Going to do the clutch, brake and kill switches all at the same time, so I'll be under there a while


***edit***

Only had time to put the new EGR valve on, but it made a big difference, and it holds lean burn perfectly and there's no hesitation when I barely give it gas. I bought the Accord V6 version BTW, and it fit and functioned great. Not sure what the difference is between the 4-cyl & 6-cyl versions on the Accord EGR, but it looked identical to the one I had bought off IC and put on Turtle awhile back, and it was 52 bucks shipped (with the gasket).

There was really no differences between them. When I thought my egr was bad I compared them all at the parts store I manage and they all are literally identical besides the angle of the plug. The 02 odyssey v6 egr was the largest

Let me know when you go to do it and I'll wire it up for you.

I was gonna say it's really odd and interesting how you and KFM have almost identical mpg, but being in the same town might be a good reason
