Lets up the par a little bit on this one!

prelude182

I call number 2! ive been part of this Squad since like day 2. I believe i do have a rightful spot at the top! Oh by the way matt, im taking new pictures tomorrow so ill have one up then. Hopefully people will just stick around for longer.

4g4dcruisin

I got the num 2 spot already mang! Anyway, i've been so goddamn busy since i havent posted in the thread. Im on HT every day, but i dont have time to keep up with the people wanting to join and what not.

I had to sell my sedan due to 3 head bolts getting stripped into the block. The block was stipped is what im trying to say, some dude bought it from me tho! He was more than aware of the situation with the car but he drove off...havent heard back since. The next day, i picked up my EG haha.

matt j

i just put up a temp one for now from the last thread. just let me know

4g4dcruisin

Hey matt are you familar with egs mechanically? check out my thread in the 92-2000 forum called fuel/air problem

4g4dcruisin

here it is

ok got done reading thru it, the iat code will definately throw off your gas mileage considering that the car is still seeing it as cold and thus dumping in more gas then what the car needs. I would also check the plugs if i remember right the IAT sensor and the TPS sensor plugs look identical.

Also maybe do a compression test and check to make sure all is in order there, you could have a leaky headgasket which will show somewhat on a compression test.

Try those and see what happens man and let me know, i saw you were going to replace the thermostat already so thats why i didnt mention that. maybe even check the o2 sensor as well make sure its clean, i know it said something about you using the four wire, but just double check it and make sure its in decent working order

matt j

oh and also you can pull your injectors and rail as one but i wouldnt try firing them figure it takes about 2psi to pull the injectors out by hand and there is 35psi in the rail when you fire it. pull the injectors and inspect the orings and such you should be able to tell when one is bad. and oring kits are pretty cheap as well i think 4 or 5 bucks.

4g4dcruisin

Noted, about the IAT, could i have a code 10 if the IAT isnt reading correctly? The IAT is brand new, the wiring is correct, but since the car never "warms up", could it throw the code?

Also, its a b7/z6 mini me swap, vtec wiring has been done in the engine bay.(92 cx/dx/vx all have vtec wired into the dash harness to ecu already for some reason) Thats the reason for the 4-wire o2, its done correctly since im not throwing a code for that.

Lastly, the ecu is stil from the b7, i need to find a p28 on the cheap.

4g4dcruisin

Oh, do you know a guy named Nick Thomas in Sioux Falls?

matt j

doesnt sound familiar but i might, and yes you would really want to find a p28 for it since the sensor could read diff but i dont think it would matter that much, check the voltage at the sensor and see, could be that you got a bad out of the box sensor as well

4g4dcruisin

Im just confused on the color of the wires, like what goes to what...

matt j

wow thats some shitty wiring

4g4dcruisin

The previous owner told me that he thought the plug was damaged, so he cut it off...the thing that bugs me is that the colors of the harness side dont match the plug side.

The green and red wires on the harness side ALMOST match up with the plug.

plug- red/yellow, green/white
harness- red/yellow, green

so, im confused haha

4g4dcruisin

haha, luckily, the bay is almost gutted.

no ps
no ac
no window washing
no cruise
no factor air box (short ram AEM)

matt j

sounds like mine, let me run out to the garage and see what my wires are on my sensor

edit: ok mine is green/white red/yellow all thru the harness, mine is a 95 vtec harness

matt j

maybe im looking at the wires wrong but it doesnt even look like they are hooked up to the correct wires in the harness. What i would do is undo that nightmare and redo it, so its done correctly and soder and heatshrink the wires or you will probably fry the sensor or worse

4g4dcruisin

really? so wtf is the the black and yellow for? haha. I need to pick up an engine harness from an si or coupe ex.

matt j

yeha thats what im curious about now lol im gunna go dig out my haynes manual real quick

4g4dcruisin

So yea, i need to find where these black and red wires go to. I think the red/yellow, green go to the tps, they're definately not just hanging.

matt j

4g4dcruisin

ALright, red/yellow, green/white goes into the plug....so wtf haha.

hmm...there is no mention of a yellow or a black wire going anywhere near the IAT...i see the solid green that LOOKS like the IAT green/white taps into.

matt j

yeah the only ones that i can see on the above is for the o2 sensor. I dont want to rip into my harness since its a fully tucked harness now lol

SpoonDa4

Yo guys can I join the squad?
