Former '08 GXP owner here, which I sold a few months ago. I "replaced" it with an '11 Civic Si... big difference between the two! The Civic is fun in it's own way and is a tight, well built car - but no V8.
So I missed my GP and got an '03 GTP It was had for a reasonable price at auction, knowing I'd need to do some work on it. 120k miles. The body is in pretty good shape, the interior is ok, and I think the mechanics will need the most work.
First thing I noticed is the MPG on the DIC is low. It was showing an average around 13.5MPG. I reset it and it is 11.8 or so, climbing back up slowly.
Went to get emissions and it doesn't have enough data stored to pass, which means the battery was probably removed before I bought it. Wonder how long before the check engine light comes on...
Any suggestions on what to look for in regards to low MPG? O2 sensor? If so, which one? Any other items?
