me and my friend swapped in a 01 atr motor in his 98 civic ex and it runs like **** until u warm it up. when its cold the motor wont move. u floor it and it goes slowly. takes it 10 seconds to go from 2k to 3k. for it to run good u have to turn on the headlights. as soon as u do it pulls hard. also it bogs and backfires alot. someone told me it coyld be da fuel pump cuz the motor demands alot more fuel. need any help.

anyone????

its the accord euro r. but why would it be the fuel pump if it works in higher rpm? Maybe you have a bad ground so when you turn on your headlights it has more grounds?
EDIT: what weight of oil is your friend using?

Schister66

Are you running the correct ECU for the engine? Are all the sensors and vacuum lines correctly hooked up??

The fuel pump, unless terribly bad, wouldnt cause this problem. Any stock Honda fuel pump will supply enough fuel for any stock Honda engine. Generally about enough to make 250whp...some have made more

jdmcivicracer89

all grounds have been checked over 4 times and even new ones were installed. same thing. the wirght he is sing is 5w 30. i belive. he is using the stock ecu. it has a obd2b to a obd2a harness. the ecu was modified to fit all of the sensors. no cels. would it be good to go obd1????

my friend is having the same problem =0

jdmcivicracer89

jamal.... u a idiot. that friend is me

stein_k_9

hehe i kno

You should definitely go OBD1. I had an H22A Euro R motor in my hatchie (CROME tuned), and it ran like a pisa crossing the boarder!

jdmcivicracer89

what do i need to get to make it a OBD1??? the ecu, harnass and what else???

zenon8890

u need obd2 to ob1 conversation harness, a p28 ecu so u can chip it, i dont know about the dizzy

ATRekh2

what else could be wrong with the set up??

its my civic...

zenon8890

do u have any cells?! maybe a timing issue

ATRekh2

no cells everything checks out....

Euro R's are the H22/23 motors, correct?

If so, dont the injectors use a resisotr box of some sort?

jdmcivicracer89

yea its the H22 type r. it has resistors on the injectors.

ATRekh2

but does it need a resistor box??

stein_k_9

do u got the p28?

ATRekh2

no jamal i do not have a p28.... shouldnt u know... stick to nissans

ATRekh2

what are my choices... what should i do...

just go obd1??

bump to the top

when you first start it, does it idle ok? or does it idle like crap until it warms up?

ATRekh2

idles low, with barly any throttle respond.. then warms up a lil... throttle responds a lil but slow and only up to like 2-3 until it warms up 100% then itll act normal....

Just wondering is there EGR on the euro motor, if it is that might be a factor.
