ok i put a motor in my car over the weekend. it's the same motor that came out(d15b7). ok i got it in fine. now it won't run for sh*t. i'm sure that i got all the plugs plugged up. and all the vaccums. now the problem is this. whenever the car gets even slightly warm it floods itself out. i'm guessing a sensor, but have no idea which one.. any help would be more than appreciated.

o2 Sensor look at it make sure you didn't damage it.

swtcivic93

Hey dude, call a honda dealership and ask them they will at least tell you what the possibilites are, I would hope anyway.

swtcivic93

yeah that was my next step. if anyone has any other ideas throw them my way.

if your engine light comes on...then you are throwing a code....we NEED that code to help you fix the car.

Guys, don't forget that if he swapped his engine out, the ECU is programmed to provide the correct amount of fuel and air for the smaller engine, so it may be trying to overcompensate because of the increased amount of air. Also, I think you guys have done a great job by suggesting that he check his sensors first. the O2 sensor is by far one of the most important. Another way to check if the O2 sensor is bad is by smelling the exhaust. "Rotten eggs" is the description of choice. The smell of improper fuel/air mixture will give it away. Hope this helps.

ok guys......i called my local honda dealership and talked to a service guy. i told him the problem....he told me to swap the distributor. i did that and everything is fine. i don't know what the deal was. but anyways thanks for everyone's help.
