hows it going... i have an issue. i installed an obd2 (obviously) type r motor in my 94 (obd1)del sol. i converted it to obd1. i got an obd1 dohc vtec distributor, obd1 integra alternator, i got an obd1 wiring harness, everything is plugged in... distributor is installed correctly as well as spark plugs and wires for sure.. so i go to start it and it cranks and gets some spark but it just wont start. it attempts to start and then it just dies on me. it maybe runs for like a second or two and then it just dies... i have a single vtec ecu in there, and there should be no check engine light but it's still dying... maybe there are some plugs put on wrong, im not really sure which ones to check! can someone please help me out...?!?! thx.

u shoulda just left everything 0bd-2 and ran a obd-2 gsr harness. works the same. but check and see if you have the map and tps switched up that might be it

and another thing, you might wanna run a chipped p28 or something that has a map for a1.8. the stock p28 is gonna lean out the itr motor DETNOTATION

Check the FAQ thread in this forum for a refresher on checking your engine light.

When you have your diagnostics plug jumped...
Long, slow blink=10
short, fast blink=1

Jump the plug and start it up, see what, if any code you are throwing. This will be of great help...if in fact you are throwing a code.


Check that your map sensor, and tps sensor plugs are not mixed up like somebody has mentioned already.

Also check that your timing is dead on.

egcivicdelsol

ok im going to try and see that all is plugged in, it was 2 slow *** blinks im pretty sure it was a 10. im going to check my fuel, because it starts and dies, so its got to be something other than a vacuum leak, will post up tonight after a friend of mine takes a look it. in the mean time i m going to go screw around with it.

check your flux capasitor and pay that guy that helped you out doing that thing. Hes broke and needs some gas. snoogins

cltitus

damn kevin you always need gas money

egcivicdelsol

lol yeah he does, he needs a job, but hes a good person to have around when doing a swap. but stick to the topic... now my motor starts, and idles just fine, but when i give it gas... or anything over a quarter throttle the car wants to die out. its like it cuts fuel or something. and it wont go over 3200 rpms or it wants to cut out. its weird. before it wouldnt start, and i had the wrong plug on the map sensor. now its cool but it wont pick up rpms... pls help.

Kevinarich

i went and looked and sandavols and it was different. trying to find a routing diagram for everything but everyone on here is stingy.

egcivicdelsol

yeah the IACV is plugged in, it was blown, i replaced it. now theres no check engine light however it still wants to die when u give it gas.... some wierd *** problem.

Kevinarich

im gonna drive your car home right???? ive been waiting for that.

egcivicdelsol

in order for u to drive it, it needs to be drivable. l ol.

swap a stock (any) ecu in, see if that changes it. make sure your dizzy plugs are good and tight. if everything else checks out i would then swap a known good dizzy on.

egcivicdelsol

yeah i swapped in a stock p28 ecu, and same results. i swapped a good dizzy of my friends gsr, and same results... not sure what else to try. obviously its losing gas or bogging out... so does it have to be fuel or what?

schardbody

what dizzy are you using again??? obd1 or 2

egcivicdelsol

i'm using a brand new obd1 gs-r distributor, and i put my distributor on my friends car and it started up just perfectly.

Kevinarich

does anyone know if obd1 and ob2 sensors are all the same? is the same ohm readings come from all of them. Just a thought i just had.
