Hello Honda world, I have a few questions
I will try to post video later on YouTube n link up here.

I am having trouble with me throttle response last night I was turning on my car and notice it idle weird high n then low that it turned off, I thought ok maybe a miss fire or something; the idle goes from up n down when I am in N" sounds like it's about to choke up, I try to take off to my destination and the RPM would just rev up n no pull from my tires like it struggled then after te lag or kicked an started throwing this awful smell that something was burning or like exhaust leak of some kind(read other post ppl suggest it's oil in the muffler) this morning the same thing with the idel problem goes up n down? I have done a complete tune up already have cleaned throttle body n vac in the back I have changed my map sensor also. And still have no clue on what's going on? Any tips out there or anyone having this issue with there d1.5 ?? Is time for a swap? Or is there a cheaper way to get more life out my engine

Thanks
420out!

If not, some issued based on what you described could be a Vacuum Leak, Air in coolant system, IACV, bad headgasket.

How does your oil and coolant look? Any contamination?
A compression check will tell you if it is the head gasket leaking or of the valves arent sealing.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!
