b18c1 1989 crx hf couple of problems Idles good but tryign to drive it dies/ fan wont come on
K here my problems see if you guys can help
I have a b18c1 with a hydro conversion kit from hasport stock engine pretty much except header and intake intake manifold from skunk2. Car is converted to obd1 and is using a 94 stock gsr computer.s
1) car will idle good but if you put it in gear and try to drive it will die.
if you barely give it gas it will move around yard but i can't shift into second because once it revs a little pass 2k it dies. Will go in reverse and do same thing.
2) radiator fan isnt coming on. There are 2 coolant switchs on 94 gsr motor I think. One on head and one on back by thermostat. Nothing is plugged into back one. I have the coolant switched hooked to the one on/near head in front of motor.
3) im using map sensor from crx that is on firewall hasport said it was ok is that cause my car to bog? Car ran fine with hf motor in it and d16a6 motor in it on that map sensor.
Thanks in advance

its possable that 2 of your sensors by the intake might be pluged in wrong the plugs are identacle, same thing happend to my friends itr idled like **** and wouldent drive at all.
When he swaped the plugs to the proper sensores it ran and drove fine. hope this helps

fan doesnt come on because you have to wire up that switch on the thermostat housing.. the sensor on the head is a coolant temp. sensor that the computer needs to read to determine if the car is hot enough to go into closed loop. as for the map sensor, make sure the connector has a green wire in the middle. map and tps sensor plugs look the same, just the colors arent in the same place. check those out.. and tell us how things go. good luck.
