wasssup ive searched and i couldnt find any real hard cold answers but my d16y8 has a bogging problems at all rpms in every gear. i changed fuel filter, igniton tune up and even replaced my coil and i had it timed ... and still no ckeck engine light...even fugged around with advancing my distributor nothin wtf is it all it has is a short ram intake what should i do for diagnostics???

Turbo_y8

you change your plug/wires

did you actually check the timing

raphael

i havent checked the timing myself no...and yes iridium plugs and wires... reason i want to get it running rite is because of my nice turbo kit going in soon spring 2007

dumass question but hehe... whats the rite way to do it...?

YoungKadafi

i have the same problem, does your intake sound like its farting? im thinking its fuel related, which in turn will equal out to be electrical

Abandoned Ship

check your ecu for any codes, just because your not getting a check engine light doesnt mean its not throwing a code, could be your sensors more than likely.

raphael

negative i just got it inspected

raphael

its funny to because it idles fine...im going to strap the timing gun on it today but im starting to think that its not the timing instead a deficiency in fuel somewhere

raphael

i also been noticing that my fuel economy is horrible. i find my self opening the throttle way open to get some power (which i dont cause it bogs like mad)when on the highway slightly uphill, going up hills is a nightmare... my fathers 96 4 door honda accord automatic is better on gas

bart2546

Maybe the fuel pump? But that's a long shot, deffinitely thinking it's something electrical such as throttle position sensor or MAP sensor.

timing I say, it happen I did a ZC swap and my car bogg like crazy and shoot flames out my exhaust

raphael

lol shooting flames...no im not quite there yet. i dunno bcuz if it was timing that was off it wouldve been idleing like ****. but it doesnt. im thinking that it has to do with some sort of intake charge sensor that indirectly messes with fuel/air ratio what do u think?

did u change what kind of oil u used?
idk like.. i used non synthetic, and i asked the place to use synthetic blend..instead they pull full synthetic and my car bogged for a week but idk probably not your problem.

hkstuner

Hey ive been having the same problem wit my civic i have many mods under the hood run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner like lucas or redline and make sure ur plugs are gaped at .40. also check to see if you have any vaccum leaks with a bottle of carbon choke cleaner spray by the gaskets and vaccum lines and if the car revs up its a vaccum leak. if i learn anything else about this problem ill let you know.

toss those iridiums in the can and get some ngk v-powers.

raphael

ok just set up the t.gun to o degrees and it showed the the crank pulley lines up with the tab at 16 d. btdc. dam guys im really fucked now

Turbo_y8

make sure your going off the timing marks(white marks, the middle line) and not the red TDC

first check your top dead center. align the crank pulley to TDC(red line) witht he mark on the lower timing belt cover. THen make sure the head is aslo at TDC be aligning the cam gear tothe mark on the head.

if that is good, then check timing(white marks)

raphael

i dont think its timing anymore im starting to lean towards maybe a fuel problem...man i wouldnt wish this problem on my worst enemy. this thread should help everyone from now on when it comes to engine bogging and how to diagnose it. n e other ideas

I have the same issues with my D16y8, and starting to get some really weird things now. For one, my exhaust leak KILLED my MPG and performance, and it was kinda hard to hear it, but it was there. However, i fixed that, and then it was off and on.

Things im thinking. Knock sensor, or engine vibrations are setting the timing back 3*. Something ignition related like the dizzy. But most of all, fuel. My engine makes all sorts of funny noises while at idle, the idle will stay still for a few minutes, drop and start farting away. I have cleaned and checked about everything, except:

Fuel pump
Actually dizzy
KNock sensor
a Shorting wire in the engine harness

However here is a keen observation. When ever i run seafoam through the tank, absolutely ZERO bogging. I have full power. The next time i fill up? its better but not much. And the 3rd time, back to normal. Its been doing this for about a year now. It so stupid it hurts, seafoam has nothing to do wtih the performance of the car, but yet about 20 miles after i dump that bottle in the gas tank, i get around 100% more power, and no hesitation.

Im kinda thinking a bad fuel pump, even tho my fuel pressure is fine. I can hear the wine change pitch with my idle.

Ive already changed the TB, still no luck. Its gotta be either the mentioned above, or an intake leak around the Head, blown headgasket forcing me to loose compression, or something internal is MESSED! i dont like this because its getting bad enough where its really hard to merge on the highway, even at 5k rpms. (lots of dead spots)

raphael

i feel ur pain but i have idleing problems at all. wtf is thisseafoam stuff? bump for answers!gurus please help

raphael

ok i finally narrowed it down to the timing being several degrees off timing bcuz wen i set the timing light to 16 deg. the tdc was way off the fuggin tab so the timing is off.. is there a tutorial somewhere for the d16y8
