AP2 Head Rebuild/Valve Replacement - Shops?
#41
Just as an FYI, after cleaning the MAP sensor.. seems best to replace it. Tried the various methods (whack, cleaning, etc)
Also, as an FYI/PSA to anyone attempting to clean the MAP - ensure it's completely DRY (most important are the internals) and use an electronic part cleaner or high alcohol content rubbing alcohol.
I used Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaner - but it leaves a chalky residue.. no good.
And the throttle body can be cleaned by pushing the throttle open (slowly/gently) but be sure to unplug the surrounding electronics (MAP and DBW Unit)

My map sensor is acting up now.

From what I found, electronic parts cleaner is your best bet then clean the throttle body with carb/throttle body cleaner (with the sensor removed). Let everything dry (30min minimum).
Or if you are looking for a new one, Amazon has them in stock for ~60$ or $75 shipped ASAP.
Honda parts stores are saying it's a national shortage item and is on back order without any expected date
Mine will be arriving tomorrow - had to replace my intake hose too, was practically falling apart. Crank case vent hose port was completely shredded and the cuff around the intake was 50% torn. I'll update once I get it in.
I just want to DRIVE!?

Thanks for the map tip btw.
Trust me, I know how frustrating it is to have the car there but not being able to drive. You start doing weird things like downloading a virtual version and drive that around, which just makes you jones more for the real thing.

Replaced the MAP and intake hose. Found a loose sensor (TDC2). Back in business - good idle, strong throttle response, whole 9 yards.
I feel like vtec 'kicks in' a bit late (7.2k or so if my eyes don't lie). Anything to adjust or note or is that just oil pressure and temp related?
Also, I had a slight 'tinking' in the right front wheel. I'm thinking wheel bearing - any other suggestions?
Slow, hope you got your MAP corrected
Thanks all
