Ive recenty traded one of my cars for a integra im not new to honda but this car is giving me some shyt the car has been through alot.... first off it is a GSR but the previous owner blew the engine and couldnt afford the origional engine so the put an ls engine who ever did the swap didnt know what the hell they were doing they did alot of short cuts and because of this now im having problems they didnt hook up any of the vacuum right there are alot of sensors unused wires cut missing flywheel cover timing cover and a whole bunch of crap well the problem is its missing really bad and i cant seem to find out why ive done a full tune up on it oil change new air filter valve cover gasket checked the timing and still missing did i miss something..... why else could it be missing?

 

anyone ??????? help

 

what do you mean it's missing?

 

the engine is running with a miss and wanting to turn off when accelerating also shaking when idling

 

It sounds like the timing is off or something in the ignition system. There's just so many things to check so try to start with the cheaper ones. Good luck.

My car misfires when my spark plugs are "used up", but I see you've done a full tune-up and oil change. I wonder if the injectors not giving enough gas could cause misfiring?

 

Yeah i was thinking either timing is off or maybe spark plugs were bad or one may not be firing? Also is your check engine light on?

 

well the check engine light is on also could the vacuum have anything to do with it cause its all messed up i dont know where any of it goes cause the car is a gsr but all the vacuum sensors are from the ls or rs which ever engine it has now the charcoal canister isnt even there

 

bump

 

what code is the CEl giving you?

 

also the car will not go past 3500 RPM and if i hit 3500 the car redlines and turns off what the hell could this be

 

the guy proly has the GSR ECU and the LS engine obviously doesnt have VTEC.... so at 3500 when it starts VTEC stuff, parts are missing, and it figures it shoudl shut itself off

 

but the car was running fine when i got it but the alternator whent out and i fixed and now this shyt

 

O ok i see.... you didnt move the timing belt when you did this did you.... hmm who knows
