Default is it an intake leak
when i let the clutch out at low rpm it chugs and sometimes "pops".
This happen b4 when my intake was loose. i tightened it up and also changed a couple blown fuses at the same time, (ecu or something) anyways problem was solved for 2 months and it is back. is it the intake? i got a lumpy cam so the brake cleaner/idle thing doesnt work. any suggestions?

no it hasnt but i was able to take care of the problem once before by tightening down the intake and changing some fuses. I dont know what did it but the "chug" dissapeared.

we all went racing on the highway. it was gay. i wanted a peice of that civic but we couldnt find a place to race. The fpss sensor on my juice wasnt grounding out so i wasnt spraying that night. I bypassed it and now the car feels sick. i lost my license today(thursday) so i wont be racing untill me or some lawyers pull out some tricks.

Geez dude, chill out...not everyone is online all the time.

As far as what you'd run, If I had to guess I'd say a 12.1 @ 122 mph. You better either start spinning or bog because if you hook on the gas, BOOOM there goes your 10 bolt

Well you might as well forget about the civic. I heard you lost to my buddy's black WS6...

If you cant beat the T/A, dont waste your time with the civic.
