just swap in a d16y8 in a 96 ek, now motor wont run. it start then dies right away, and the oil shots oil near the oil filter. any ideas? useing p28 ecu.

z6hatchboy

if oils near the filter, check the around the back of the head, v/c, and that area. As for the dying im not sure.

if oil is shotting out near the oil filter check to see how much oil you have close because it sound like you had the rubber seal let go. or you could have the o-ring from the previous filter stuck on there and didn't notice when you put on the new oil filter

or its just not tight but i've seen sooooo many people double o-ring those things ha more then likely as already stated that is the problem but also check for cracks or any kind of rip in the oil filter

or you could have knocked the gasket off putting the filter on, i've seen that too mostly with cheapo fram filters

any ideas on the motor wont starting? could it be the timing i did put in a new timimg belt.

check on teh back on the block where the oil feed line thing is.. cant member what itsa called. its where u runs feed lines for turbos. pressure switch maybe.

forcefedferio

First, let me ask you this...did you convert to a 3 wire IACV like you are supposed to?

It, could be the timing...but not likely it would be more likely to either not start at all or start and run incredibly rough.

And yes, that is the oil pressure switch on the back of the block just above the oil filter.

Make sure your map sensor is hooked up. Mine got disconnected on the ecu side and I had the same problem except the oil leak part. Also one of my Injector clips wasn't seating right.

Also I believe you need a two wire IACV conversion, not a 3 wire.

sky9

the oil pressure switch is the little black thing rite. and let me see about the iacv 3 wire conversion. thanks

my boys was leaking and it was pissing oil every where.

Check to make sure everything is plugged up inside where the ecu is. I had forgot to plug the big green plug thats not on the ecu but outside of it. It controls the fuel pump prime, speedo and etc..

get all your grounds on, specifically the one on the transmission? also, is your main relay good?

sky9

does the engine need to be convert to the 3 wire iacv for it to work? does any 1 have pics on how to do this?

no, d16y7 uses the 2 wire IACV....to convert to the d16y8 or even just the y8 manifold you will have to convert it to accept the 3 wire IACV that the y8 has. No IACV will equal starting up and immediately dying unless you manually keep the throttle open for it to stay running.

let me see if i can find a good writeup for you

speedooo

for bad information. my y8 iacv us a 2 wire. check the crank case breather on the back of the block...its the black box. its made of plastec and mightve cracked or something

sky9

will do thxs,

Thats funny my 00 Civic had a 3 wire iacv and I changed it to two wire for the D16y8.
Vtev Models should be 2 wire unless they have an auto tranny I think.

VRD^sam

Auto came in 3 wire IACV, 96-00 non-vtec came in 3 wire IACV also both manual and auto.

winkwitstyle

wouldnt the iavc help stable the idle and without it the engine would idle really rough?

preludedriva

my swap did the same thing it died after it warmed up
it wasnt the same motor but it through a code for the iacv and i found out we plugged in the wrong plug lol

as for the oil leaking mot likely its a stuck o ring from the old filter
