Another new RT4WD owner in WA

Hi all,
Just bought this car the other day for $750. Runs a little rough. PO says needs a tune up. :roll: I just found out how to read the ECU codes so I will have a look when I actually go to pick up the car. 1991, 202,xxx, A/T, gold/white wheels. No visible rust from briefly looking it over. Awesome job, Honda.
The automatic seat belt will extend while you're driving the car. You can open the door and shut it again to retract it, but only for a few seconds. I've looked into this a bit and it looks like this issue is covered by a lifetime warranty by Honda. Can anybody confirm or deny this for me?
A little about myself... New to the area. Oak Harbor, to be specific. Military duties bring me to Puget Sound. I'm very happy to be here. The weather is just how I like it and the scenery is a welcome change from Kansas. My other car is a '99 fern green M3. I got the Honda for the winter/kinda sorta for the wife.
I'll get pictures up next weekend. I promise it looks just like every other gold wagon, though! I'm also trying to find a grille guard/brush guard/bull bar. I've done a little but of searching but haven't been able to find much of anything. I really like the picture at the top of the site with the fog lights, something like that. Well, I guess that's about it for me. Thanks for the useful info I've found on this forum so far!

    So the OBD is giving me a steady flash. I believe that's a 1 which would be faulty main o2 sensor, which could be a result of the alleged misfiring. Also discovered a decent amount of white smoke coming out of the tailpipe at any rpm. Anyway, here's a teaser:

    Usually but not always...

    White = steam
    Blue = oil
    Black/dark blue = fuel

    Also be aware that a "1" is a blip about 1/10 of a second. A "10" is more like 1/2 second long.

    I chased my tail for days looking for a nonexistent o2 fault until B18C5-EH2 educated me on the difference :oops:

    (10 is intake temp. sensor)
  • Looks good! If you need any help with anything I'm sure I could help since I'm in you neck of the woods.

    Piston rings appear to be done for so I'm looking at a few different options. I'm thinking a swap would probably be my best bet.

    Skyler,
    I'm also new to the forum and have a the RT4WD in brown. Mine has the manual trans. I'm in B'ham but grew up in Anacortes not far from you in Oak Harbor. Maybe we'll cross paths on Whidbey sometime.
