I passed visually except for the JDM P13. They wanna see the USDM one in there. They also wanna see the air boost valve installed, which I had already done. Other than that, with all other vacuum lines connected properly...no worries.
Also, I used my stock accord LX airbox with no EX (or prelude) vacuum stuff under it, and they didn't mention anything about it.

before my next smog/oil change im gonna sea foam/atf the engine and clean that nasty build up.
im gonna run a test pipe on my car so carbon doesnt build up in the cat as well. and before i smog the car ill swap the cat on.

fuel pumps hardly go out on our car's. but the main relay goes bad. if only you were closer, I could help. let us know what is wrong with your first before any repairs are done. don't want you to get ripped off.
In case you don't know yet, I work for HONDA, Jesus works for an independant shop, and tony (cb7extreme) works for ACURA. so we have a few good techs here on board. Jesus is closer to you though.The beginning of a new era............................

the EGR ports are a PAIN to get to on h22 manifolds! ever consider just seafoaming the darn thing? what cat are you running too? if the stock cat, that is prolly what's causing you to fail as well. over 10 years old, do you think it's still filtering at its best?
