    Default PLZ help i need more fuel

    Ok ppl i have a bad ass single cam d16z6 that i just build and droped in to my ef. Now the swap is down and every thing is working but i keep getting this check engine light. And seeing as how my compresion is 12 to 1 i dont think that im getting enough fuel. So my guess is that im runing lean. I have tried wireing an air fuel ratio gague but it wont work . Ether that or im just runing lean as fuck bc it will only read to red lights and no more (meaning lean on the gague). I have set my fuel pressure regulator and my vafc to max settings for the car. But it still runs like ether it needs gas or something. I dont know wat to do wat would u do if u had an engine that had 12 to 1 compresion.

    1) AUtometer A/F gauges are shit, dont bother using them
    2) Turn you AFC to 0, reset all the settings back to STOCK so ZERO across the board
    3) Put a FACTORY Fuel Pressure Regulator on the car.
    4) Check the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT and see what code it is throwing. A honda ecu wont throw any CEL for "running lean" or running "rich"

    report back after you have figured out what Check Engine light code your throwing

    high compression on stock ecu it's running too lean.

    you'll sometimes get an o2 code for too rich/too lean conditions.

    an afc might allow you to get extra fuel at idle or low throttle positions, but at wot it won't and will more than likely trip a map code because positive corrections will only increase the map voltage when there is no corresponding portion of a fuel or timing map on a stock ecu beyond 0.2 psi (basically 0in/hg).

    socketed/chipped ecu, larger inj, and dyno tuning sounds like what you need.

    if you're trying to keep using the afc drop some 310 or 370cc inj.

    running on 3 cyl could be way too lean and it running poorly, your cyl pos sensor/dist could have gone bad, or you could have toasted a piston from running too lean.

    hope that helps.

    i have tried the 310 injectors but no help... ive just done a compresion test and ive gotton 270 235 180 235 ... stock single cams are atleast 185 .... so i poped off the head to see if i had a pent or broken valve or a messed up piston... after i poped it off i found some coolent in the cylenders but it could be the fact that i forgot to drian the coolent b4 hand but ima check my valves tomorrow but so far thats all i can see
