with my budget right now,... wait, what budget? oh yeah :roll: i sorta have "hookups" but these guys are like FEMA, slow to resond and dont always have satisfying results. lolerz
so i guess i eliminated the air and spank systems out cause i have researched them so much and everything seems to be right.
so i moved on to the fuel system, i fricking checked over the wiring to the injectors and everything. idk, still no change (as in im stil getting all the same symtoms, code #4 and not revving past 3200).
EXCEPT now im getting a NEW code, #16= Fuel Injectors. haha its like God was telling me something. anyways. i checked into it a little and possible reasons for this are Resisitor box, bad injectors, Main Relay (which is NOT the problem fo sho).
-does this mean my resistor box could be messed up? or WIRING to the box?
-what if my injectors were bad would the car run at all? im pretty sure thats not the problem. i got them off a healthy engine from a friend.
one last thing to leave you guys off to THINK a little, i pulled the spark plugs out from each cylinder and smelled inside to see if anything was weird. #4 and #2 cylinders smelled of raw gasoline, #1 and #3 smelled normal-ish, that is, didnt really smell at all.
when i rev the car up to 3000 it sounds like its misfiring, could it be the injector timing? and if it is..why? whats causing it? i checked the wiring over and over... damn it, idk.
leave me aloneeeee!!! my lazy ass just came back from the garage :roll: i emailed Peter from mywire, and he just wrote this:
"You just messed up on the dizzy wiring. Simple as that. Re-try =)There's a diagram on our website under Troubleshooting on the right hand side of the homepage. When it says Code 4 - a distributor code, you don't need to screw with every other sensor on the engine - honda made engine codes to point you in the right direction of the problem."
but Peter, i already redid everything a hundred times!!! WAHHHH
they must have been good before, cause the car was running perfectly before i started this gay swap. idk, every single connection is now soldered, including at the ECU, injectors, connectors, plugs, dizzy....
:x CODE #4 CRANK ANGLE SENSOR :x
damnit could it be i have THIRD defective dizzy? is that possible???
The crank angle sensor is inside the dizzy, so yes it's possible.
I suggest you find a car that is running with the same dizzy, pull it off and test it out. Then you'll be 100% sure if it's the wiring/connectors or the dizzy.
I'd also suggest doing the same with the ECU.
i bought a fourth dizzy today from a different supplier today. its coming in tomorrow. so tomorrow i will know whether its the dizzy or not. if not im thinking imma just buy a DX harness and put everything back to stock it would be a shame and a huge waste of time and money if this is the case, but i need my car.
so im sitting at home pissed off and mad, then i something pops in my head that never did before and i go back and check the ecu wiring and sure enough, i got B9 and B10 mixed up. B9 was empty and i though that was B10. so i swapped those around and BAM she lives!!
to think all this heartache, time, MONEY over a stupid little wire. i feel dumb now, but man.. cars intake sounds amazing. i love this so much.

all the injectors are getting a "pulse" i checked that last night..
hey Pacifier, only USDM vehicles have a "spank system" 8)
yeah seriously though :roll:
on topic though: code #16 went away.. still leaves #4. sick bastard. i wish it was a simple ghey code that stil allowed me to drive my car around :x
on with the research *sigh*
project is on hold right now, im sick as a dog.. got a fever and a sore thraot. meh.. anyways...

Did you catch mono from me? That sucks man, I know how you feel. Haha
just go ahead and solder the stuff for me, oh and also fix my car...
well tomorrow im off to Home Depot. every wire i had nicely wrapped up and packed away in wirelooms is now out and exposed all over again. frick.
i sure hope i didnt catch your mono!
btw i feel much better today. still have a sore throat but my fever is gone

as far as the ECU goes.. i have two MPFI ECUs and they are both throwing the same codes.
just wanna say thanks to everyone who has been helping me out
just picked up the fourth dizzy. same problem. nothing changed. fuck me.
so im sitting at home pissed off and mad, then i something pops in my head that never did before and i go back and check the ecu wiring and sure enough, i got B9 and B10 mixed up. B9 was empty and i though that was B10. so i swapped those around and BAM she lives!!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!!
I hate you for not believing me!
i'm so happy for you!
no more "cave-man injection" crap.
I bet you are so amp'd!
:roll:
thanks for all your help kahuna in my time of need
Congrats on getting your car running I told you it would feel great when you figured it out and got it working.
