ok here goes i tried searching for this problem but didn't have any luck... and im not new to engine swaps at all.. just a newb on b18 swaps..

So i put a b18b in my 93 integra non vtec.. Automatic
everything went well with the install besides the intake manifold being different but i went threw all vacuume diagrams and pretty sure i got it all back to the way its suppose to be.. besides that everything else is good..

Now when i start the car it starts good and idles fine.. i give it some gas and it kinda take a long time for the rpms to get up, like it has little throttle response.

The other problem i put it in gear and go to press the gas and it just kinda dies down and goes nowhere, i put it back in park and the idle goes back to normal.. I have never done an automatic swap before only manual swaps.. so thats where im haveing my problem.. i dont know much about automatics at all.. so if anyone has any help at all as to where i should start looking for what my problem is.. if it is even a transmission problem at all??

Any help is very appriciated!!

 

...??? any help at all???

 

Are you using the right ECU?

Have you checked your:
1. Spark plugs
2. Dizzy cap and rotor
3. All sensors and grounds

Ali

 

I have checked everything possible that i would think it would be... the ecu is the same one as was in the car.. didn't touch that.. everything pretty much just hooked up like the last motor.. but just has something to do with the transmission..

all i can think of is it has something to do with the torque converter or something.. maybe preloading before it has to or something.. idont know..

 

wait, you still have the civic's ecu in? get the ecu for and automatic b18 and try that.

 

??? no its and integra.. and i have not touched the ECU its the same one that was in the car.. did'nt think i would need a new one

 

did you accidently swap the MAP sensor and the TB sensor plug? that sounds like your problem. the 2 plugs are the same, try switching them around and see what happens

 

hmmm... ill go and try that out.. didn't even think about that one..

thanks

 

found out the problem... the distributor was not adjusted right just had to turn it all the way to one side and it workes perfect now..

just remember to check all the little things your wouldn't think of...
