Haha wow you guys are mean...

Just a little hot tempered after an afternoon of bogging thats all

Really though, I know I couldn't have accomplished anything by doing it myself, it's just that I read into everyone elses trial and error and didn't bother. I have sort of a minimal income and anything I do has to be well worth it for me to fork out the cash. Though i'll try everything you guys listed above, which is greatly appreciated by the way!


I did have the car looked at by honda, for $100 , and they think it's my clutch which little did they know was replaced 6,000 miles ago.


Lets see i've done a three step injector and throttle body cleaning, cleaned the IAC valve, cleaned out my throttle body and the hole leading to the map sensor, replaced the map sensor, syphined the gas out, and put loads of seafoam in the tank.

To be honest that's really all ive done....excuse me, afforded to do.
So what do you guys think would be the most beneficial thing for me to do next?

Oh and I guess just my car sucks...

 

Bogging is an issue for me pretty much the whole year. I dunno..I just got used to it/aware of it. When it happens just give it lil' more gas when starting up. Freaked me out at first cause I kept killing the car on steep inclines when this happened. Just get used to it....I tried the map whack and even excerbated it by putting in a KN intake. But with all it's faults I still love this car. The last thing I want is a car I don't have to "think" to drive.

 

Welcome to S2ki.com you can get some good information here, but we're not newbie friendly, and we're suckers for a troll like "The S2000 sucks so bad I'm gonna sell it"

OK, once again, throwing parts at the car is not the answer. But for fun, describe the problem in detail. And the more mechanically inclined here will give you another opinion.

So in detail:
Rpm range? Gear? Throttle position? How long does the bog last? How often does it happen? How do you stop it from bogging? Is the enging hot or cold? Does the engine ever miss?


Next, the dealer says clutch, why? Is the clutch slipping? On the highway, put it in the highest gear, put the gas pedal on the floor. Does the engine rev higher without the car going faster? Does anything like this ever happen?
Does the car buck at all when you start off from a light?

 

And FYI: injector cleaner may not solve an injector problem. Sometimes it's the electronics of the injector that go.

 

Aw, come on - just sell it...

 

Learn to drive...

 

 

as well, my car 'bogged' all the time until I realized I wasnt giving it enough gas.

 

Just a suggestion. Sometimes the A/C compressor can slowly seize. At first it does make the car kinda bog at idle & taking off. It also will occasionally make the car bog or buck while in a higher gear when cruising. This would correlate with higher temperatures if you use your A/C when it gets the least bit warm out.

 

Interesting thought, good reasoning, but A/C also comes on whenever the defrost does. And he'd have to have used that this past winter a couple times. The OP assumes that we're all familure with the infamous s2000 bog, but the term bog means something completely different to every owner here. To some it's heat bog, to others, it's what happens when you screw up a launch. It's also what happens when you put it in 6th gear at 10mph and floor it.

Until the symptom is thoroughly explained, we won't know which he means.
