Idk what Tricia’s case is, but I’m sure it’s not because they’re “junk” motors. Best motor Honda has produced, and has been proven by many people to be very very stout. ---

> [@might be time for a new car](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/might-be-time-for-a-new-car/20146/42): > > well I figured it out its not intermit. heres what happens, I start the car when its cold, it makes the loud ticking, then as the car heats up it quiets then after about 4 minutes the noise is gone, no tick at all, then Ill drive for about 10 minutes with no noise at all then the noise comes back. So in my opinion its gotta be something to do with temperature or oil pressure, I dunno but its going to Honda on Tuesday, oh and they said there was a code saying there was no “pcm communication” whatever that means, and every now and then my ABS, BRAKE, and VSA light will come on, but if I turn the car off and back on it goes away, and it pulled “pcm relation” failure codes. This car seems to have a lot of issues. Im glad to know that none of it can be blamed on “abuse” u cant abuse a computer lol and theres no bent valves so theres no “over-revving”. We will see soon hopefully My RSX did the same electrical shit.Then it blew up. ---
