well ihave been having alot of problems with this turbo kit. at first i had gas coming thru the exhaust manifold and yesterday i took everything apart checked all the wireing and now it doesnt shoot gas thru the manifold but it wont stay started. when it did start it had alot of smoke guessing its from all the fuel that was in the motor when it finally started up it was struggling to stay started. also it didnt rev right like it was in limp mode. had a solid cel. changed chips and still not able to start car or get rid or check cel. but i let it sit for a couple hours and attempted to start it before i went to sleep and it just cranks and does nothing. what could it be?

 

is your map sensor pluged in ?

 

IMO you should yank everything off and go back to stock, and research turbo kits and turbo installs heavily.

Sounds like you've got multiple issues going on and you don't have any way of eliminating one at a time.

 

i kno what i am doing. i have been doing research for over 2 years. i have install kits succsssfully. i have never came across this problem before. everything is installed correctly. map sensor is plugged in correctly all sensors are fine. it ran fine stock thursday. installed kit thursday night/friday put in the 450 and resistor box and problems started. its the only thing that i have changed electrical wise. its a d16z6 built block eagles and vitaras, stock z6 rebuilt head, skunk 2 intake manifold, hf manifold t25 turbo 2.5 autoworks charge piping obd1 converted. if u dont have any good information then dont post.

put some new spark plugs in it

check your timing belt, pehaps its off a tooth.

check your IGN timing.

check the cap and rotor

how is your resistor box wired ?

 

have new spark plugs in. will check the gap today. timing is fine. ign timing should be fine havent moved it. will check cap and rotor today. resistor box is wired the normal way i think. followed http://www.geocities.com/c_rexboy/mpfi.html

Connect the yellow/black wires from the two DX injector harnesses and run it to the yellow/black wire on the injector resistor box.

Connect the yellow wire from the DX injector to the #1 injector (brown wire).

Connect the red wire from the DX injector and run it to the #3 injector (blue wire).

Connect the A3 wire to the #2 injector (red wire).

Connect the A7 wire to the #4 injector (yellow wire).

Connect the 4 red/black wires from injector resistor box to each injector.

 

somethings gotta be wrong, from the way i take it, your engine is loading up on fuel.


how close are you to lansdale 19446 ??


does it still have a solid check engine light ?

 

im about 30 minutes from there. you have been im'd. it still has solid cell since the last time i tried to check cel(last night).

double check your resistor box wiring

double check your distributer wiring.

 

double check your jumper harness.

can you pull codes?

 

no i cant pull codes it jus stays solid. and when it was running the only cel i have recieved since the new motor was the iat sensor which i replaced and it went away.

start by trying to get rid of the solid cell

unwire all the injectors and resistor box and see if you can get the ECU to pull just the injector code. Solid cells are from serious wiring issues, a fried ECU or a chip that wasn't burned correctly.

Try the ECU on a friends car.

 

will try to do that and wire in a different resistor box and check all the wiring that i have done.

 

good stuff..

might be better off asking a mod to move this thread to hybrid or the 1988-91 civic section. a lot more dx to mpfi conversion experts there.

 

see i had the mpfi conversion way before this. used obd1 injectors ran fine. once i went to put in dsm 450 injectors and resistor box is where the problems came along.

 

to those who care its running turned out my sparkplugs i couldnt use and the gap on them was hella big .40 or sumthing of that sort. and my zif socket had bent/missing prongs. plugged chip in directly to the board change plugs and started right up
