Honda prelude misfiring pinging
Hey i have a 98 prelude. Everythings stock. Ive been having a horrible misfiring and pinging problem. it hesitates and stutters off the line under wot it cuts out hard and pings from 5k on. At first it was just like it would cut out and start accelerating hard again and would only do it when engine was hot(closed loop). Now it just cuts out and pings. Its also been having troubles starting from sitting lately. I got a code for a p0171 wich is mixture to lean. I cleared the code and it hasnt returned. Usually means dirty maf. But hondas use mapping system. I think it may be a fpr but not sure. I ordered one and have it on the way. I also been having bad gas mileage. So far this is what ive done. Cleaned egr valve. Cleaned egr ports, new plugs, wires, Distributor, cap, rotor, ignitor, icm, coil, o2 sensors, fuel filter, timing belt was replaced before i bought motor about 20k miles ago, knock sensor, im probably forgetting stuff. This issue has been a huge pain in the rear for me for abouta year. Im hoping the new fpr i get will magically solve my problems but im doubting it. I need an expert!

Re: Honda prelude misfiring pinging
so i replaced the FPR and it didnt do anything. The oil light flickers at idle, when i rev it up its fine.. when i stomp on the gas it bucks hard as soon as it hits vtec and you here some pinging / detonation? i cleaned my egr ports not to long ago. the thing is i drilled the plugs out to 5/8ths because i couldnt find the plugs that were supposed to fit in there so there was a lot of metal shavings. i kept the shop vac close and made sure to clean up the best i could. could these shavings getting into the oil cause the oil pickup screen to get clogged and reduce my oil pressure. It also only does this when its up to operating temp. the motor only has about 80k on it so i really am hoping its not an oil pump.
