My bad, that was the impression though. He said it had aminor problem w/some sensor and then you discover:

P0108- MAP/ Baro curcuit valve high
P0122- Throttle position curcuit low
P0505- Idle control system malfunction
P0700- Trans Fault (Mil request)
P1790- Throttle Position Sensor Fault
P0304- Missfire cyl.#4
P1457- Evap system leak (canister)

Which to me sounds like more than a "minor" problem.

 

Why'd he only own the car for two weeks? Is he a dealer?

 

I think he's like a private dealer or something, he was selling a 97 eclipse, protoge, accord and some other cars but the integra he just recently got in.. he said he was gonna fix it and paint the front side of the car and sell it for 3500. I offered him 2k for the car, he said to cheap 2500 was the last offer. he actually bought the car for 2500 too no gain for him, but I didn't know it had "minor problems" which I think is fixable:happysad: oh weell

 

You should have based the $2500 offer on that car contingent on having your mechanic inspect the car. If he's a dealer, you might have some more buyer protection rights since it has more mechanical problems than he told you it did.

If the car's engine and body are sound, then no biggie. Every used car is going to have issues. Rather than rebuild that tranny, you could just start searching for another used tranny to swap into it... or when you buy the Helms factory service manual, just learn to fix the car yourself. My bf taught himself how to rebuild the tranny on his first car, it was some Cadillac STS Northstar... and he even rebuilt it stronger with extra clutch packs on it. lol drag strip addiction at the time. So anything is possible.

I don't think this guy was "mad honest" with you. It's just a gut feeling that I have. Two weeks is long enough for any dealer to know his car's problems as he has much experience from owning many of them. He was unfortunately being a typical used car salesman with you. You've only owned the car a few days and look at all of the problems you've found with it. It's not rocket science here.

 

Well I was thinking to change the Tranny's oil, you think that might be the problem? Cause the mechanic said it was time to change so im not really sure if thats the problem. Also when you get a code P0700- Trans Fault (Mil request) does that automaticly means the Transmission Is bad or could it mean anything like its time to flush it?? What you guys think? and how much would it be to swap a used tranny including labor?
