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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-engine-ticking-bad/245142)._
