Car starts but dies
I recently installed a JDM H22 in a EG and now it starts up but dies 2 secs after. If i start it again, it would do the same thing. when i keep my foot on the throttle the car will stay on, but once i take my foot off it dies.
its also throwing a solid CEL. its not the ECU because i tried it in another car and it works fine.
any one have any ideas?
btw its a P13.

the solid code means ECU is bad, but its not my ECU. i put the P13 in a prelude and it works fine.

Re: Car starts but dies (b16delteg)
ok
NO CEL .. i fixed all the CEL, but now it only runs on 2 cylinder #1 & #4. I took all the injectors out and cleaned them with brake cleaner and still the same thing. check for power to the injector clips and they all get power.
anyone have a clue whats wrong?

What's the mechanical condition of the engine? Hows the compression?

Re: Car starts but dies (SoOHiGH)
How did you hook up your resistor box? Maybe bad resistor box? Check all your ignition components. Other than that, that would be my guess.

check for a major vacuum port that is disconected. ie. your map sensor. you might be loosing your vacuum and when you give it gas you aren't building up as much as at lower rpm's

if theres a vacuum leak from the MAP wouldnt there be a CEL? i got no CEL.

does your car idle on 2 cylinder tho? because mines idle on 2 cylinder thats why it sounds like crap. sometimes it will idle then sometimes it would die.

it sounds like 2 cylinders when i let it idle..thats when it dies.....but then if i rev it up or drive it in high rpms its fine...when i check to see if all 4 cylinders were on they were cause the header was hot as hell.....it just cant hold an idle...its weird

your problem is different from mines then. i ant even drive. yours idle like ****, but you can drive. mines idle like **** and i cant drive it because its only 2 cylinders.
