The pinging I believe was due to a lean mixture so first I installed the jackson fuel pump which solved some of the pinging. Later I installed the AEM high volume fuel filter and high volume fuel rail. That solved my pinging problem.
    This is my problem that still exist. After the car has been running for a while,I'll shut it of,come back to the car after about half hour, start the car, about one to two minutes later it will start to stall and stumble for about 15 to 20 seconds. After that it will smoothen out and run fine. It happens every time only once the car is warmed up. Has anyone else ever have a problem like this and what did you do to fix the problem. I don't know what else to do. I'm almost ready to take the JRSC out of my car.

    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I used to have the same setup as you- stock JRSC kit. I did not have the problem you describe. Something must be wrong with the car, I don't believe its a JRSC specific problem.
    If you're very sure the problem started _after_ the JRSC install I would hold the company that did the installation responsible. Be firm, don't let them mess with you! They did something wrong, the car should run just fine with the stock JRSC kit (aside from tip in detting that is). Don't take off the kit... it will bring you lots of fun when this wrinkle is ironed out!

    Welcome to the boosted family!

    Up date on my current problem.
    I recently noticed my coolant resovor was dry. It seems when I had the jrsc installed, the mechanic forgot to top off the coolant. After I toped off the coolant two weeks ago, My goofy idle problem has not reoccured. Let's cross my fingers and hope that solved the problem. I read somewhere before that air in the cooling system can cause some strange and unusual problems. Can someone confirm that?

    I believe that in Hondas and Acuras the coolant system is "self bleeding." There shouldn't be any air in the system.

    Air pockets, trapped particularly around the thermostat housing area or the engine coolant temp switch (in the front of the head), can cause a wavering or "hunting" idle.
    Once the air is bled or forced out, the problem should not re-occur unless the cooling system has a leak.

    Thank you for the reassurance. Now I could relax a little more untill I install the map mod. By the way, how easy is it to install? I just ordered one from summit. O another thing. I just realized my fuel pump is only 215 LPH. Is that enough or should it be higher like 255 LPH?
