I don't know the answer to that but you would think a spark is a spark and its only the longevity you are paying for rather it being about to add to the performance. It can only ever ignite what is in the cylinder, it can't contribute to the bang. My sparks come out for inspection and during...

Do you mean these Honda Jazz spray jets? http://www.tegiwaimports.com/genuine-honda-jazz-spray-type-windscreen-washer-jets-3022/

Would it be better to say that when the conditions for VTEC have been met (engine speed, rpm, temp, oil pressure and TPS) the ECU triggers the solenoid allowing the oil, under pressure to push the synchronisation pin into the rocker arms?

Well I got quoted £35 labour for an oil and filter change (me supplying the oil and filter, didn't want some random junk) about 4yrs ago. I'd say the belts are a bit more awkward than that, nevertheless it sounds like an hours labour charge, maybe double that cost at Honda. Whether or not its...

I bought one of those micrometer style click adjusters which I never used last time as I needed a 10mm 1/2 socket to fit. Hopefully it will make it even quicker if it can fit in around the head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK7_tih9sUU

Yeah I did do the clearances last year but I will recheck them as its no problem to do when you have done them a few times ;)

It was done by Honda probably around late 2009. I know the belt service life is 7yrs or 72k miles and I've done about 20k miles since it was done in those 4 years. Its only recently started hesitating and my spark plugs look a touch on the hot side and one (plug 4 ) is carbon fouled.

Seems like I might be closing in on the cause of the hesitation and spark plug issues, thanks again ;)

Looks like you are correct Pedro ;) , Howto on Honda-Tech http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1908944. Step 25 Make sure the camshaft pulley and crankshaft pulley is still at TDC. - For the camshaft, refer to Step 12. - On the crankshaft pulley you’ll see two sets of marks around the...

Thanks Pedro! Would a timing light confirm it then? I'll need to read up on the timing belt guide and have a look!

Hello guys.... Continuing my investigations into my randomly rough running car, does this timing look out to you?

The pulley of the PS pump isn't aligned with the pulleys of the Aircon and Alternator so its going to be a 2 belt job unfortunately if you go down that road. :( You'll need to get the tension correct aswell, too tight can lead to premature bearing wear and too loose will cause squeal and...

In that image can you see the two hoses at the front that appear chopped, sort of curving to the right. Those lead down to the AC compressor so if you are struggling to see it follow them. The radiators on mine are almost sandwiched at the front, without experience and at a quick glance you...

Ahh ok, the temperature might have been a red herring lol. I just recall reading it somewhere, but couldn't find the source :huh:
