troubleshooting afr and idle issues for b16a2
long story short i have a b16a2 in my integra that is driving me insane
the car was all fcked up when i got it and i put a temporary b16a2 in it
motor has 210 cold and 215 warm compression all across
new gaskets timing belt plugs header o2 sensor fuel filter
timing set idle set good cap/rotor/wires fresh oil and coolant and thermostat
AEBS intake manifold and boltons
i had problems passing emissions bt got that figured out (old cat)
but the engine was still not running top notch
so i went after the last thing i didnt change. the obd1 injectors that are very questionable.
they look like integra injectors but they are all different stamps and color marks
2 were missing the filters on top
after some research i saw that d16y8 injectors are also 240cc and they are used in crv 01 ITR and civic SI with a b16a2 so i thought they would be perfect...
swapped them in and car started stumbling during acceleration with stock p2t ecu and stock FPR
switched to wideband and neptune p28 ecu and b16a2 basemap and car idles at 18 afr...
i had to raise the fuel pressure from stock to 50 psi in order for it to idle at 15.0
i soldered the wires myself to obd2 connectors( i know how to solder properly and tested with voltmeter after)
injectors were clean no buildup at all.
now suddenly today its completely messed up.
sometimes it will run at 14.5 and then engine would stumble and afr would go up to 17 no chk engine lights..
during that surge the fuel pressure doesnt change
the same ecu worked fine for about a year in other car.
i dont know where to start looking since i dont even know whats causing this whole fueling disaster

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
im really at loss why would those injectors require so much more fuel pressure wen they supposed to be 240cc just like the integra ones.. they came off abone stock d16y8
im gonna check my ecu lol maybe i got some wiring problems with the car that i dont know about

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
how did you raise fuel pressure?
mabe the problem is fuel pressure drops....
also you sould check old and new injectors resistance. check if the old ECU required low resistance injector and the new neptune p28 ecu requires high, or the oposite (i dont remember quite well)

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
Straight from the rules sticky
You aren't giving us the full picture. Until you do, we can't give you a full picture.
For all technical questions, the following information MUST be included in the first post: vehicle (year, make, model) and engine (if not stock, year, make, model, OBD type). Other pertinent information includes check engine light (CEL) codes as well as engine modifications, such as a turbo kit tuned at 18 psi or a specific throttle body, large injectors, big cams, etc. This information is absolutely essential because, in many instances, members wishing to help in a thread waste their time by posting detailed replies, only to find out the next day that the topic starter left out CRITICAL information. Please respect members wishing to help by taking the time to list or mention crucial information about your car.

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
checked and rechecked everything again
pulled out all injectors to see any physical damage
re checked the idle and timing and loaded up fresh basemap on crome
did a little fuel map adjusting so far runs good. got it very close to targed lambda and its driving pretty good
but heres whats goin on with idle
it will fuctuate while warming up always around 1000rpm so 800-1100 rpm fluctuating and then it drops to 750 normal idle and stays
i adjusted idle to 14.5 in all the cells around it
also adjusted cold start to be at 12.5 instead of 11 afr
if i decrease IACV duty cycle to -10 the wobble goes away and it drops from 1000 straight to 750
but then it starts wobbling when im at the traffic light.
so it stops when i do any of the following
1 lock ignition at 16.5
2 decrease the IACV duty cycle to -10

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
from what you are writting i suppose you have done very good job till now
the only think left to be checked in my opinion is the injectors (not only physical examination but messuring them at a machine). Mabe also you sould try other lambda, other TPS, other IACV and other map, or plug a voltometer at lambda, TPS, MAP and IACV to see if the voltage signal to cpu is at the proper range at idle (ie map sould be 1.5V at idle)
it is difficult to do e-diagnose lol, so i just try to give some ideas in things you havent yet tested

With this information you can conclude his year/make/model and give him proper advice rather than tossing insults in his direction, no?

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
vacuum leaks checked almost every week so far none that I can find.
I haven't checked the brake booster pcv valve yet
but the crank vent pcv valve is new and its the correct one also
notice its only fluctuating with basemap even after adjusting the idle to correct afr
with stock p2t ecu its fine at idle but runs like crap

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
if it was vacum leak it could be constantly raised rpm to 1000-1100...
with a vacum meter is easy to ckeck that. if there is no leack it must be about -7psi
if it is more than 9, there is a leak

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
I squeeze the hoses shut and it doesn't go away from any hoses
I move distributor and it stays same
I adjust idle screw and it goes away when idle screw is open more but it idles steady at about 1100rpm
locking the timing in crome to 16.5 degrees doesn't work anymore
only way is to decrease iacv by 10% or open idle screw.
bad iacv is a possibility seems like its having some **** seepage from old age or something

Re: troubleshooting b16a2
Found a very small vacuum leak under throttle boDy
Fixed that and no change at all in idle.
Its doing exactly same ****. And i went through everything again
Even with the idle screw completely closed and iacv disconnected it idles at 550
No external leaks that i can find
Now i have to bring the iacv duty cycle to -16 in order for it to idle at 750 if its at zero it idles at 1100 with idle screw closed

Re: troubleshooting afr and idle issues for b16a2
You have another vacuum leak somewhere. How does it act while at temp and you are driving it?
