All right first off i bought a 2000 acura integra gsr in pieces. previous owner had burnt a valve and instead of replacing the valve he was going to part it out. so since everything in the engine bay was pretty much removed (engine,trans) i put arp head studs on, cometic head gasket, thermal intake gasket, acl bearings(rod/main) new rings, oem oil pump, oem valve cover gasket, oem dis/rotor, new coil, took head to machine shop new valve new seals all round clean up ect. energy suspension urethane shift bushings, sway bar bushings , torque mounts and rear trans mount. new exedy stage 1 clutch kit, sri, ceramic pads on the front, new rotors, i've been driving it for about 10 months now and many of these parts have been installed as i came into the money so it wasn't done all at once. about 5 months ago my dash lights/clock started flashing whenever the ignition switch was in the on position and i heard a clicking sound followed it down next to the fuse box where i found an aftermarket "valet" was installed pulled its fuses and fixed that problem. i then ordered a viper car alarm and after doing some extensive research found the wiring for both were identical with the same exact plug (same manufacture) so i just plugged in and went with it. but i noticed a while back that if i turn on the headlights the iab valve opens, then i found out that if the engine is running with the headlights on i can turn off the ignition and the car stays running although all accessories shut off and the abs light comes on. is this normal or a side effect of the valet/alarm? i have also put aftermarket oil pressure gauge and voltage gauge in. when i first start up i'm at about 50psi oil pressure as its running it keeps dropping till it hits 0 if i rev the engine even a little it comes up while in gear and driving i have a good amount of pressure. . the oil press light works during switch cycle but doesn't kick during "0" pressure on the gauge. think the sensor may be bad any suggestions? and lastly if i rev to say 3k let off the gas to shift the engine almost dies out down to about 200rpm then picks back up i've got no cels any idea what is causing this?
