i will be boosting again soon, but i need to figure out the problem i'm having now before i throw a turbo kit on again....any advise is appreciated.

we put a new motor in my eg hatch saturday night. the car started up kinda weird.
made a few adjustments, car turned on, idled a little, then just died out. turned on the car again, did the same thing.
we turned the car on again and held the throttle down so the car can warm up. after the car warmed up a little, the car stayed on, but idled funny. i would idle like at 800, then drop to 500 like it wanted to turn off. after the car completly warmed up, the car stayed on and idled at 1k.

the next day, i started it up the car, same thing happened. it would turn right off. i would have to hold the gas down for awhile while it warmed up a little for it to stay on. when it does stay on, it still idles like crap.

here's what i've done so far:

changed the iacv on the bakc of the intake manifold
changed the map sensor
changed the spark plugs
made sure everything was on correct timing
messed with the idle screw on the tb

here's what i got:

00 b18b motor
skunk2 manifold
rc 310cc injectors....do you think the injectors could be causing the problem?

i'm using the stock fuel pump.

any ideas????

BoostedSi

try putting the stock injectors back in there and see if that works

yeah...i'm going to do that. i just didn't think 310cc injectors would be all that bad. i was using them when i was boosting on my other motor, didn't think they would cause any problems if i used them all motor.

my friend said he smelled gas when he was reving the motor, so he thinks its the injectors.....too much fuel

did you ever figure out what the problem was? Mine's doint the same thing, only my ECT sensor is broke and my car runs at like 1500 RPM even when warm. Just wanted to know if the stock injectors fixed your problem. Good luck.

i haven't tried putting the stock injectors in yet. i will be doing that tomorrow to see what happens.

are the rings good? is it smoking when it idles or you give it gas?

hondaeg8

yeah..my friend said there was some black smoke.
