Car Shuts Off when i press the Gas?
 

Ok well here is the rundown...i just swapped a D16Z6 into my 92 CX hatch...when i went to start the car after installing my header it wouldnt start...but a couple days ago it did..now when i try and start it i dont hear the fuel pump prime and the battery starts to die after i keep trying to start the car over and over again...Well i jump started the hatch with my moms car and it started up fine..i then pressed the gas pedal down and the car died? wat could be the problem? https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif

Anyone?

Is this a better Explanation?

First:

i tried to start it without giving it a jump start it wouldnt start and i wouldnt hear the fuel pump and every time i tried to start the car the battery power would get weaker and weaker..and eventually the battery wont even turn the motor unless i wait a while then try again.

Then i tried:

Well i jump started the car and turned it on without hearing the fuel pump prime and it started up fine and idled FINE....the moment i stepped on the gas....the car would die.

if you can start the car again, try rotating the throttle rotor from under the hood, as opposed to stepping on the gas pedal. also, what kinda computer are you using. just a suggestion https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

Yea i did that i turned the car on after being jump started and it idled fine..i went under the hood and rotated the throttle rotor and the car would die..and if i were to lightly turn the throttle rotor the car would get ready to die but if i let off of the throttle rotor the car would go back to idling normally..weird.

try to see if you got the map sensor plug switched around with the throttle response plug...it happened to me once because the plugs look the same and it fits but when i switched around my car didnt die when i pressed my gas.

Perhaps your fuel relay is exposed and arcing?

I will check that tommoro about the MAP sensor! but what does the throttle response plug look like?Ok well i went into the garage with a buddy and turned the car on...it idled pretty rough then calmed down and idled fine...but if i hit the Gas COOLANT will shoot out of the breather tube that is circled. I also do not have that connection shown where it connects the tube to the intake.

THIS IS NOT MY MOTOR JUST SHOWING WHAT TUBE THE COOLANT IS SHOOTING OUT OF

I guess i need to order part number 7 and plug that hose up where the coolant is shooting out of in order to keep the coolant flowing correctly? And what does the throttle Response Plug look like?

I DROVE THE CAR!

well i drove it like out into the driveway and pulled it back into the garage..i found out the reason why it was dying when i hit the gas was because like Eg6style said i had the TPS sensor and MAP sensor plugged into the wrong places..since im still learning to take off from a dead stop all i did was let off the clutch a lil and the car moved i then hit the gas and THE CLUTCH GRABBED LIKE HELL!!! and for once i didnt STALL!!!! woot i then backed it into the garage and DIDNT STALL AGAIN!!! i have:

New Exedy OEM replacement clutch kit
Fidanza 7.5lb Aluminum Flywheel! I love this setup!

But i found out that oil is SLOWLY dripping from my Drain plug on my oil pan..i went to tighten it but it kept turning? Im guessing i need a new Crush Washer and Drain Plug? http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif
