Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
I need help with my engine. Doesn't get a spark. I've been searching the threads and I've tried pretty much everything and still no spark. I have a b16a2 with an obd1 ecu and obd1 harness. But here's the kicker. I have an obd2 distributor and a crank sensor down toward the shaft. Here's my question. Does the obd2 distributor need the signal from the crank sensor to give off spark? Cause i was told I didn't need the sensor since it was obd2. Thanks in advance if someone can help.

Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
I have an electrical fuse ? posted on the CR-V forum so I won't duplicate it here. Do you know of any sources for electrical schematics for a 2995 CR-V? My post deals w/ parasitic loads for fuse #8 radio/assy & # 18 Fr power socket.
I'd appreciate any assistance or links to explore.

Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
Randomly my car won't start, then sometimes while driving the car shuts off as far as electrical like radio and cluster where the tach drops to 0 but since the alternator is still turning I assume the car still runs. I checked voltage everywhere, checked grounds, the only thing I could come up with is the ignition switch is going?

Reply to 2002 civic missfires. i have seen a lot, and i mean a lot, of head gaskets let go in those cars. creates missfires while then engine is hot or when first started. have you been watching your coolant level? not temp gauge but your actual fluid level?

Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
have you checked all your ground for corrosion? there are a couple ground straps that ground the engine and since the engine is the ground for the starter they need to be in good shape. usual suspect for your car is the one on top of the radiator support

Swapping obd1 and 2 distributors does not work. You need to. Swap the rotors inside since they are in at a diffrent degree. That is why your getting no spark.

Actually that's wrong OBD1 and 2 distributors are interchangeable with OBD1/2 ECUs. OBD1/2 ECUs are not compatible with OBD0 distributor and vice versa.

Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
I've traces the wires and they seem to be where theyre supposed to be but I'll double check. I got new main relay, new distributor, new spark plugs an wires and even tried two known good ecus. I've ran out of ideas and theories.

Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
OK here's one:
I've got a 1996 GS-R with a fluctuating idle during warmup. Following throttle inputs, it will idle high and rich (2k rpm) and start fluctuating between 2k and normal idle. Occassionally it will spontaneously die. The hunting idle does not happen if the car warms up with no throttle inputs, although it may still die spontaneously.
The IACV is clean and there are no error codes. I cannot find any vacuum leaks using carb cleaner. The problem does not happen when the car is warm.
Edit: and there are no abnormalities in the ECT readout.

Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
IACV usually wont set a code. they are solenoids and are not monitered. if anthing a generic Idle code will be set. It probably looks clean, but there is still the possibilty of internal binding. sometimes throttle cleaner can clean the grime, if any, but wont solve mechanical binding
One option is I could swap it out with the one on my 99 CRV if they are the same.

Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
Okay. My steering is loose. Not my steering wheel, but steering. Its like I have power steering. It gets worser the faster I go, and every crack in the road, it seems to follow. I have searched and found that there is an adjustment found on the steering rack itself that can "fix" this loose steering. But they don't specify if its for DA or DC, manual or powered racks. I have looked at my rack (DC4) itself, and I do see a bigger "fitting(40mm)" and a smaller fitting(14mm) dead center of it on the rack. Can I adjust it, or should I look else where?

Re: Does anyone Need help with... Anything?
you could try to manually bench test it with a battery and test leads, but that will only show ON or OFF movement, not sweeping. am not sure if they are the exact same, i do know a lot are interchangable. i quick call to Auto Zone could answer that, Honda and Acura dealers hate being dicked around with that stuff, especially if you dont intend to buy that minute. part of the Honda truoble shooting says "Substitute With Known Good IAC Valve and Continue" Also check your coolant level. air bubbles can cause they same issue becuase the IAC is heated directly form the coolant.
