I know this is difficult without actually seeing the car, but here goes. I ran into some problems with my EK4 (B16A2) today. I'm detuning the car for the anual technical control here in Belgium, so I changed the exhaust from a JDM spec ITR header, JDM ITR cat and Fujisubo Legalis R cat-back, back to the stock EK4 system (including header). After the change the car started up fine on a cold engine, but once there was some heat in the engine and the rpm's dropped below 2000rpm, the engine just stalled and wouldn't start up again. I limped to the Honda dealer and with a quick check they couldn't find the problem. The checked timing, and this seemed to be fine. So options I'm thinking about is a blown head gasket, or a struggling engine because of the narrower exhaust? Anyway, the car is now at the Honda garage, so I hope they will find out what is wrong. I'm just breaking my head on looking for possibilities what the problem could be...
