ok, i have a video of what im getting.

long story short, I had a 94 H22 in my 96 civic, using OBD2-1> conversion.

that engine lost compression completely, so I replaced with a different H22. Last minute the swap was changed from a 95 JDM to 97 USDM h22a4 (from the shop i was buying it from).

I finally cleared up all the CEL's, but the car is running funny. I included a video here that shows the problem, basically the engine surges every 2 seconds from like 1-2K RPM. I noticed the new 97 H22 is most likely still running the 94 distributor. could this be a distributor problem? like i said, there is no CEL's, but the engine wiring harness is chopped to hell, so it might be a problem there ...

ok, so heres the video, its about 5MB

let me know what you think, if its possible distributor problem? i am really confused as to all this swap technicalities, like if i need a resistor box also for this 97 h22


by the way im using a P13 right now, thats stock prelude ECU from early years.

EDIT: oops, that video is 22 MB, let me work on a smaller one.


OK, got the new small vid up.

 

looks like it was vacuum leak

ahh, vacuum leak it is, a hose is complete broken at the IM

does anyone know how the Skunk2 IM work?



i see the one hose that is completely broken, but the other slot has a fastener thing to keep it closed, but that seems to be broken also (cant see it int he pic)
