I just built an ls/vtec for my integra, but when i take off in first gear the motor boggs down no matter how far i push the gas. it boggs down to the point of almost stalling until i feather the clutch. any suggestions? the motor has no power in any gear.

Check Engine Light. You built and ls/vtec and you don't know what cels are?

i built this on my own from books and nowhere does it say CEL...it spells it out....Im an Aircraft ELectrician not an ASE certified mechanic, and never claimed to be....and ive already cleared the check engine lights by fixing the problems.

check the timing dude.

civicg93

we've been all over the timing for like 3 days now...total and ignition. It helps a little but doesn't seem to do the trick...

have you checked the compression and fire on all cylinders? Is your check engine light on? Is the car running rich? Did the car sit for a while and is it possible that all the fuel in the tank is stale and clogged some or one injectors and/or fuel filter or has the fuel just turned stale and is not combusting as it should? If all checks out ok i'm still skeptical on the timing, I'd recheck the timing marks on the cams vs the crank and then go on to the dizzy. also what head/ecu combo are you using and are all your elec. componets the same obd?

Dude u need to take your car to someone who is technically smart or have ase's or to a performance shop so they can tune it right before u do any other damage to it. I'm not trying to be a d..k but if u don't know what cel's are u should not be working on the car.
