Re: D16a6 consuming oil and running rich...related?

If the swap didn't have this issue in the original car but does in your DX, could be some sort of weird issue with crankcase pressure/vacuum system? Beyond that, I have no idea. Sold that car, used...

Re: D16a6 consuming oil and running rich...related?

Nope, sold the car like 9 years ago. I did all new top end gaskets/seals/etc, even the valve stem seals. The only things left that would have caused oil consumption/burning oil would have been the...

Been out of the game for years so struggling to remember the details on this or find a good swap guide.

Brother has a '98 Civic LX sedan 5spd, and got his hands on a full '01 b18c1 5spd...

Re: Skunk2 springs/struts on '98 LX Sedan = harsh ride?

The ride height doesn't really seem all that low, honestly. Those springs do an even drop instead of the lean-forward style drop. Rear tires have little to no gap, front tires have like 3/4" gap. I...

Skunk2 springs/struts on '98 LX Sedan = harsh ride?

About 2 years ago I bought Skunk2 519-05-1550 springs and Skunk2 541-05-1220 struts for my '98 Civic LX Sedan, after some years of taking a break from Honda projects and not knowing that Skunk2...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

It was the chipped/converted P06 ECU. I hooked up my tuner's demon-board ECU that he threw my tune on and it had a solid CEL when turning key to ON until I realized the SCS was still jumped, removed...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

Inspected the ECU and found what looked like a tiny glob of solder bridging a lead of the new jumper to the lead of the new resister below it, not sure if it was making contact but I pulled it out of...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

I do have a code(s), but I can't pull them. My obd2 scanner won't work anymore due to the obd1 ecu. If I jump the SCS the CEL won't blink with car running or key turned to ON and car not running. ...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

The Black/Blue wire goes to A12 on my OEM plug, which through the conversion harness ends up at A9 on the OBD1 plug. I don't know exactly where yellow/black wire goes, but my harness wasn't modified...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

Nope. Per the instructions from ff-squad I unpinned on ECU side and cut on IACV side. Since it was no longer being used it is now my VTEC solenoid wire and goes to A8.

I also confirmed that both...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

Moved A14 over to A12. Car started and then died with IACV unplugged. Idle screw all the way out and we could get it running, but it had a roam between like 400-800rpm. IACV plugged in, idle screw...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

There is a chance of improper IACV wiring. As far as the plug conversion goes that should be right. But I did not move the black/blue wire from A14 to A12 on my...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

Thanks for clarifying. I'll be damned, so it was the IACV the whole time haha.

Anyway I've sourced out a manual y8 throttle body and z6 intake manifold with 2-wire IACV. I'll slap that on with my...

Re: '98 LX with Y8 top-end won't run or time right?

What sensors? It was my understanding the only difference between the two intake manifolds was the location of the IACV. Manual intake manifold has 2-wire iacv on back, auto has 3-wire iacv under...

Question about headliner in a '98 LX Sedan.

Is this headliner glued to a cardboard backing like other cars, or is it just the material? Mine is all beat to shit and there are a few holes I can see through to the metal roof which leads me to...

Re: 1999 Honda Civic LX Sedan(Auto) Part Out!

Yes. Anything I've personally used, or stuff that sold, is listed in the first post. I believe it has power locks and manual windows.

However I haven't been bumping this ad because there hasn't...

Re: '98 LX Sedan 5spd - Dome light comes on with door but not switch?

So I found two things that may or may not be relevant. This is with the car off, doors closed, dome light removed.

1. Of the two dome light wires that come down from the headliner, the green has...

Re: 1999 Honda Civic LX Sedan(Auto) Part Out!

Sorry for the delayed reply, been getting my GF moved in this last week. She owns a lot of shit.
