B16a Fuel System Problem
Alright well the car is a 1995 Honda Civic CX. It has been swapped for a JDM b16a from a 92 SiR2 and the car has basic bolt on's and a couple more things.
And lately the engine has been acting up, it all stated when my catalyc converter clogged and i replaced that with a test pipe. Car ran good after that for about a month and then it started to run really rich on my air fuel ration gauge. At Idle i would be really rich and the if I would floor it on 3rd gear I would just lean out and the car would bog really badly.
I got a CEL code 43: Fuel supply system.
Changed the O2 sensor, ran good for a day or two and yesterday I was going on the highway and I would be really rich and when I came off the highway the car would shut off completely alone. I would have to keep the revs up in order to keep the car from stalling.
Also since then once in a while I would get really bad jerking from the car. like i would be going slow on first gear and the car would start kind of jumping like I would be flooring it.
Sorry if I am vague with my post its just that I dont know where to start looking for the problem. Im only 17 and so-much mechanicaly inclined you know!
thanks for the help - Jon

Change your cap and rotor. Same thing happened to my rex.

Re: B16a Fuel System Problem (Phatwhippin_CRX)
I changed them when I took the car out of storage so their like 4 months old along with new spark plug. Only put on 3800 miles on it since.

Re: B16a Fuel System Problem (Big Jon)
if they're fouled that badly, yes.
But the bogging/stutter problem does sound like a dizzy prob.
Mine went out, the car ran retardedly rich, clogged the cat. Took me a couple days to realize that the dis. caused the problem. Might be worth checking into, anyways.
Start cheap and then go from there.
