Got my Individual Throttle Bodies on...
Well, we got the ITB's on. Started the car up for the first time, and it ran much better than I was expecting it to. However, it is running Rich as Hell, and it was throwing a 14 and a 7 (TPS and IACV).
Went for a drive, and it felt fine aside from it sputtering at about half Throttle.
Last night we got back from a Show, started it, and tried to drive it home... It wouldn't rev over 2,000RPM. Checked the codes again, and it was throwing a 10 (Intake Air Temperature) as well. So we disconnected the Negative, and unclipped the IAT, and put it back on. Reconnected the Negative, and checked the codes... Now only the TPS was being thrown
And it was now running like it was before, and wasn't cutting at 2,000RPM.
What do you guys think? Which sensor could be causing this problem?
(By the way, it's going in today for a THOROUGH tune... Hopefully that will take away some of the problems)

Code 14.

Code 7.

These might help.

Re: Got my Individual Throttle Bodies on... (ZedEx)
ITB's will usually run extremely rich on the low end, and lean out very quickly on the top end, which is why tuning is vital.
The TPS is going to need to be dialed in. Becuase you removed it and replaced it on the ITB set up, it's out of sync. If you've never done this before, this link might help you out a little bit: http://www.integra.orcon.net.nz/tps.
The intake temp sensor was causing the car to cut off at 2k.
It needs to be mounted somewhere, don't stuff it under the ITB's, as it may rest on the block and heat soak, causing the ECU to pull timing as it gets too hot. You can cut and extend the wires and mount it to the firewall, or, for the time being, just zip tie it to the number 1 runner, so it gets a somewhat accurate reading, near the manifold.

Well the ITB's are coming off anyway...
We got it running absolutely AMAZING past 4,000RPM. VTEC Cross-Over felt like a B-Series, and the engine howls like a bat out of Hell.
However, this is my Daily Driver... It's next to impossible to drive it around town. So it's a bummer, but I'm taking them off tomarrow
But we did get the TPS to a prefect .50volt, and that alone corrected a lot of the Air/Fuel problem. The rest, was nothing that CROME couldn't take care of.
But in the end... It wasn't working out for me. Anyone want to buy some ITB's for a D-Series

I didn't mind driving them daily... It was fun watching the Camaro, Mustang guys glance around to figure out what it was that sounded like their car... And relize it's a Civic
It's just a bit annoying to have to pump the Throttle to stay at an even speed. It really wasn't that bad, but in the town I live in... No bueno
Here's the For Sale listing...
