the funny thing is that i just put in fuel injector cleaner and i thought that was causing it. but the car pulls just fine without any hiccups.
i took the car into the dealership and had a tech ride with me and he says that he thinks it is what the TSB is and so tom i'm going to take it in and he's going to take it apart and see how the CV joint housing looks. got to take one step at a time.

I.d put money on it being the rear inner axle cv joints. An easy fix is swapping the joints with eachother, it's temporary but its free. I've already done this to my friends s2k.

ok so I went to the dealer and he said my passenger side CV joint has some play in it. So being a TSB on it i will get both of them replaced under my extended warranty.
In the spring I'll replace the diff and tranny fluid. I asked how much spark plugs were and he said they were 23.23 a piece. HOLY COW!!!

NOPE!!! I have the Honda extended 7 year or 100,000 mile warranty. bought it with the car. That was the main reason i bought the car cause it was a certified Honda warranty. It ends in April so thankfully this happened now.

well fitzy look at the bright side it's only a 4 cyl.
mercedes decided they could get a better emissions number by using two spark plugs per cylinder. so my mercedes V8 has 16 of those bad boys in it.
throw in new wires and my dealer quoted $1100.

I think I may have to execute that one myself.

So I had my car repaired today. It was the CV Joint on the passenger side. its really smooth now. BUT as I was leaving the dealership I noticed my ABS light was on. So i had the mechanic try to reset it and it came back saying the left rear speed sensor was shot. So i have to go back and have the sensor fixed. of course they have to order the part too. jeez what does the dealership not have in stock.
