iight i have a 96 civic hb and i swapped it with a jdm b16 and when it gets to 3 rpms it starts to die out or should i say lose power, whats wrong?

Luserkid

Can you be anymore vague? Also cars cant run off 3 rpms. Do you know how slow that is? Try atleast to idle at 700 rpm then the car will stay alive.

LOl at the funniest title in a while.

IHateJDM

so it somehow makes power at 1 and 2 rpms?


probably timing.

dewoine

maybe he was saying 3000 rpms

litterbox

Well, yeah.

no ****? anyways, the flaming is not due to his typo, its because he didn't tell us enough about the problem to be able to help.

gsrHB

ok yea the car idles fine but when i put it in first gear and hit around 3000rpms the car loses all its power and rocks back and forth same for everyother gear is that alittle more vague?

Luserkid

Not really but its better then what you started use with. When you go past 3000 does it do the same or does it go away?

ehh i gotta get ready for work, some of the others guys will help you

IHateJDM

any cel's?

gsrHB

yea it stays the same untill i switch the gear then when i put it in the second gear and it hits around 3000rpm it does the same thing and it does the same **** for the rest of the gears, basically i cant get any power from my motor after 3000rpms

IHateJDM

cel = check engine light.

you should get a timing light and make sure its right.

gsrHB

no there is no engine light on, u mean a tach?

IHateJDM

check engine light comes on in the guage cluster (orange). If you don't have it, get a timing light and check your timing. Your belt probably skipped a tooth.

gsrHB

yea there is no orange cel on so u think i shoudl just replace the timing belt?

you don't need to replace the belt unless the belt is old, or looks worn. If it jumped a tooth, your motor will run like crap. A timing light will tell you if its off or not.

I think you should take your car to a mechanic...and no, not your uncle.

No what you need to do is tell us what you did. Right ECU? Right wiring? Right parts? It wouldnt have hurt to have checked the timing on the engine before you put it in though. Hard to see where the cams are in relation to the cam with it all together. Might want to check and see if at least the cams are lined up with eachother.
