Hey, Bill.
Yeah, it's been a rough week in the car department. I've got to be at work 7am to 730pm the next 3 days but I may take you up on the troubleshooting later or if work is slow.
I think maybe the angle is just slightly off but it felt like it was right. The gauge is working, I think. It sits at 1/8 of a tank for about 10 or 15 minutes before slowly climbing up to where it should be. I wonder if it's a matter of the float not being as buoyant as it once was or if it's rotated a bit and not quite vertical.
The knock sensor connector had just fallen off, which is a bit odd. Maybe a job for zipties for the moment. The IAC worked in the self-test, and it seems to be okay for the most part.
It seems like I have some electrical gremlins. I'm going to be reterminating the important terminals on the positive battery lead at some point, so maybe this means I should sooner. The horn is also a bit flakey - I hope that isn't another clockspring issue.
I'm going to get some dinner and put my feet up. Maybe I'll order the head gasket kit for this Honda.
I hope you've been doing well. You can always drop me a line at the brickboard email - bigwilliex at ye Olde Hotmail.com works too.
I'm really raly glad that the Honda made it this long - I just graduated with my MS in Materials Science and (Materials) Engineering, and I've had some interviews already. It would have been tough if the Honda had pooped out 6 weeks ago!
Cheers
Will
