ek b18c swap electrical issues
just finished a b18c7 aus spec swap into my ek. started up first time.
But.. there was an idling issue. every time and indicator was put on or brake lights the revs would drop as though a voltage drop then return to normal.
i also have no reverse lights and doesnt look like my fan is working either. cool...
i used the loom out of an ek4 and the itr ecu.
but the issue im having now is random loss of spark.
i have replaced the icm, coil, rotor and battery. im getting a new diz cap tomorrow.
i got it to start last night but after driving about 5 or 10 minutes, and the thing over heating, i pulled over to let it cool down (radiator hose was loose and the overflow bottle was low). when i tried starting it would turn over but no spark.
i sat there about 10 minutes with a phone about to die, tried once more and it started. once i got home though nothing.
the only cel it shows is iat sensor and is showing a battery light now even though voltage is at 12.9
when running the alternator does seem to be putting volts in, multimeter shows 14.6.
this was my daily and am now left without it :/
I have checked all fuses, none are blowing. I have checked all grounds and even upgraded to 1 gauge wire to try. still no luck.
Just as i finished writing this post my dad came out and gave me a hand.
tried starting it with the multimeter across the battery and started straight up.
still having idle issues...
