NEVER AGAIN...

[blaknoize]

If you said it runs better without the map, get a new one? that could be your big overfueling issue. Check the cel's, just because it was on because of a speed sensor doesnt meen it cant be on for something else as well. Stutters pops and bangs sound like an issue with your map again, or you have a dizzy on the way out.

I have 2 map sensors ones on the firewall (which he hooked up) and the others on the throttle body. Is there a way to just bypass the second one? Or does the computer even care if one is connected and one isnt?

it doesnt matter, as long as the firewall one has a vacuum source and is plugged in you are fine

[Vteckidd]

You just said there was a CEL!

Look
You dont know otherwise you would not have made this thread.

CHECK TIMING (CAM AND CRANK)
CHECK MAP SENSOR
CALIBRATE TPS
DO A COMPRESSION TEST

until you do that, you are barking up the wrong tree

I'm hung over and i'll try to help you figure it out when i get back from eating..

The map sensor on the top of the TB doesn't do anything. It's an obd1 motor and you got a OBD-0, the map you need is hooked up on the fire wall.

The only thing i can think of is the vacumn hoses. I MIGHT have them in the wrong places. I'll try to find a diagram for the correct way here shortly.

...will I buy from OGSkinny. U guys remember that LS Swap? I kno u never saw it, but I bought it. And yes... I drove it home, yes it was running rich and cost me $100 in gas to get home. Turns out it DID have a TPS sensor, so my bad for that one, but... what he didnt tell me is that the motor itself has lots of blow by and its overfueling. #1 piston is failing... car runs worse than the other motor I had in it, it knocks, smokes, gas in the oil... all that.

So I may be gettin outta game like I shoulda did in the first place. Maybe one day I'll be back in it and drive to GA if the EFSquad still exists, but this is to much. I spent $1400 on this motor for nothing. I...I just dont kno what to do.

He sold me a POS motor, so once again. I'ma be out of alotta money and cant drive anywhere.

So I'm outta the game. Later guys.

Well... the investigations continuing. I dont wanna edit my post, because its obvious I was flaming. But... if the compression and leakdown test show the latter, then this will stay, otherwise I'ma be hated forever. I'll update when I can.

Mr. Kidd. THE CEL IS A KNOWN PROBLEM HOLD ON. And the timing was handled by Skinny himself. Theres a new timing belt installed and I highly doubt he woulda let me drive 500 miles out of time. IDK how to calibrate a TPS, never knew u could plus its fukin 10degrees outside, my hands cant do to much. I'll try for a compression test today if possible. The map is disconnected right now. I can actually drive it with it disconnected.

[OG-Skinny]

I doubt you have a compression problem.. That motor was stronger than my EG's 1998 motor i have. if you did, the car would sound like it was running on three cylinders and you wouldn't smell gas.

Alright. When I disconnected it from the firewall plug, the car runs at a regular idle. I checked around for vacuum leaks and... well the only thing I found was that if u disconnect the fuel pressure regulator, the car runs much better then i just got another one. All the other hoses seem fine.

Jesus you make me want to punch babies.

READ WHAT EMMINO SAID, JUST CAUSE YOU KNEW WHAT THE CEL WAS 500 miles ago doesnt mean its not throwing it for something else. CHECK IT AGAIN.

Secondly, If you can drive the car with the map unplugged, its not hooked up right. Maybe you guys flipped the TPS and Map sensor around . HOOK UP A VACUUM LINE FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO THE MAP SENSOR DIRECTLY. IF THE MAP IS GOOD IT WILL RUN FINE.

SECONDLY, DOUBLE CHEKC THE TIMING, I DONT CARE IF SKINNY DID IT, YOU WERE RUSHING HIM, **** HAPPENS, CHECK IT AGAIN!!!!

You are just making yourself look stupid, with CEL, map sensor disconnected, and "overfueling" threads about how Skinny ripped you off makes you the captain of :

[blaknoize]

I could care less bout the making myself look stupid part. I know damn well that I dont really thoroughly understand this stuff. U had to learn urself to Mr. Kidd so dont try and trash me anymore than needed. Obviously I'm in need of info once again.

I overdid it by bashing, but still, u as well as the others here know I dont know most of this. I'm able to do basic tuneups and all that, but nothing that involves all of this.

I just now unplugged the map sensor, just for the hell of it, by the way.

/\/\ you must be drinking lol your using pics.

[blaknoize]

And if ur referring to checking the CEL codes by watching the lil light flicker. I have no codes from that. Should I take it to a crappy AutoZone and have them run codes?

I mean, if something is wrong w/ it, you dont imediatly openly bash the guy for something that is wrong (might be wrong). you give him the chance to make it better....i think anyone would do that. i mean, the kid spent 2 days swapping the shiit for you, you really think he's gonna go through all of that trouble and give you a shiit motor? without even everything paid in full?

c'mon, think about it. we all know skinny isn't a shady character, and throwing up this thread doesn't prove anything. dont jump to conclusions so quickly. get the motor looked @ by a mechanic to determine what the problem is, and i would bet that skinny would bend over backwords to help fix w/e is wrong.

Mechanic/Honda/Northern Kentucky just dont mix.
Everwhere I go and everyone I ask is baffled by the idea of an Acura motor in a Honda, plus with the ECU being from a 1992, the motor 1994 and the car a 1991. Just think about it.
They all be like: "well fuk, ur SOL" or "U shoulda got a mustang, fuk that 4banger" or they give me that... well, I cant help u, look in a Hanes manual.

[Papa_Smurf]

lol yea, right... thats so baffling....

the people round u must be idiots.

Duh, thats y I'm all concerned. Plus, myself, not knowing ENOUGH about problems that occur with swapped motors. I'm basically on my own and the only help I can get is from u guys, alllllll the way down there. And this brutally cold weather isnt making it any better. It just destoyed the radator at -8 degrees lastnight.

There is some1 in your area that is willing to help u man. I know this b/c i lived in Indy for the last year and Chicago, Indy and Cincy is the same bunch of guys, and there IS an import scene there... it's just small. Relax - make a post on there and get some talent touching the car okay.


Until you do BASIC maintenance that would be required no matter WHAT car u have, then don't post again... for real. Do a FULL tune-up, reset the ECU and see what you are left with homey.

[blaknoize]

I'm gonna post babyj, u cant deny me that. And Cincinatti isnt near me at all. Its 127miles away!! Unless someone is in Portsmouth that I dont know about, then that isnt local.

Plus the car HAS a basic tune up. I did it twice since I've been here. The only things that havent been changed are the dizzy. But... the spark plug wires/plugs/timing belt/thermostat/fluid/oil change have all been done.

[BABY J]

DO u think every1 on IA is in Fulton County?? That forum stretches WAY past Cincy. Man get to it and stop whining - sheesh.

No, but u guys arent THAT far away. The ATL metro area is large, but it isnt 100+ miles away to the nearest shop or person. I guess u need to see where I live, so... here comes a pic. I'll even provide a video if u need to see just what the town looks like at street level.

I'm isolated, so I HAVE to post to get help from u guys at least. (Seems like I always do need help.) And yes, I kno yall are annoyed at me, but hell, I cant get it from anywhere or anyone else around here.

He will assist you on resources in your area. (do NOT let him talk u into a deck-plate B16, he loves to discuss that). Every1 is spoon-feeding you yet you still wanna complain. @ some point you're gonna have to engage and get your **** dialed in. Good luck.

I know... ur right also. I registered by the way and making my first post. Didnt u want me to find someone when I registered by the way? I forgot that dudes name.

[1kreationz40]

i dunno if this is gonna help you out but.....try reconnecting your vacuum lines heres a simple diagram to follow by.....too see if your idle problems stops.....also double check your spark plugs too see if theres any oil in it....that would make your car sound or run like if its loosing compression on watever cylinder....<---it happen to meeh...well hope all goes well.
