Check your rubber stoppers for your clutch and brake light. Thy're $3 each at the dealer and wear out, causing the car to think the clutch or brakes are being applied. Either one will prevent lean burn (happened to me). To test, tap the side of the pedal pad while driving. The minor play will cause the pedal to move off the wear spot.

I know, and I'm modest too.

The part numbers are in my intro thread if you need them.

You should link that in your signature file so more people notice it. I do that with my garage entry because I put a lot of info there.

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

Great to hear, lay down some numbers for the team then.

James, not into advertising (car is a high enough theft risk), that's why no pictures either.

I got 55 with her today. I might be swapping everything from my hx into a 4 door sedan very very soon. I'm pretty pumped.

My shift light is not working, but it was. The check engine light is off when I crank the car, then after it warms up a little, it comes on. I unplugged the O2, then plugged it back up and the shift lamp flashed one time. I'm so confused as to why the check light doesn't come on from the moment the car is cranked.

You should start your own thread.

Pull your codes, and we can go from there. Fyi, the O2 sensor isn't used (open loop) until the car has warmed up (then it uses a closed loop, feed back cycle).
