1, So, I have a book about repairing and maintenancing Civic's, but it not contains
enough informations about the PGM Carburetor.
I would like to know how can I properly set up this type of engine because
I think that mine is not set up properly.
I found some days ago when I started the engine at morning (about -2C°
ambient temperature) that it starts at a high rpm (too high in my opinion) and
after a while the rpm dropped and later the rpm dropped to "normal" (is this
staged rpm drops are normal ?). And a little bit later the rpm slowly lowered
and the engine almost stoped but the rpm increased again.
Anyway I cleaned the windows (ice) while these happend in neutral.
Another thing is that the fuel cosumpion is too high (about 10L/100km), the
acceleration is bad (compared to my previous '86 Civic 1.5 Carb.) and I
sometimes experiencing "dropouts" in acceleration.
(I replaced all oils, valve-gear belt and spark plugs)
So I need informations (step-by-step instructions) about how to find what's
wrong and how to setup this PGM Carburetor engine.
2, Is there any possibility to change cylinder head (and some additional elements)
to convert the engine to dirict injection type ? (what about the cylinder head,
cylinder sizes, crank and crankshaft load ? The hole is the same, as I know,
but what about the stroke ?) Or is it better to change the whole engine ?

Thanks in advance,

yeah.....
just throw that motor in a dumpster and get a b16a.

 

The 90 Civic is carbed? Are you sure? I had a 91 and it was FI.

 

Yes, the 1.3 versions are with carburetor. There is two type of this engine.
One is with simple carburetor (with or without cat.) and the other is with
carburetor with PGM control (with controlled cat.).

Is your engine really 1.3 ? What is its motor number ? Mine is with D13B21005494.

91ED7Si: I don't want to replace it with a 1.6 motor (1.5 insted).
Anyway ? How much a (used) complete (with ECU) motor costs ?

It has Fuel Injection, but it looks like a carb, and it has one main injector and when its WOT it kickes in another injector. I don't think you could get the 90 STD with the 1.3L and in that case it would have to be FI bcause all Hondas from 90 up were FI except the dual carbed Prelude

 

...I"m kinda thinkin he's not in the U.S....and there are carb'd civics in other countries...

 

Yes, I'm living in Hungary (Central Europe) and I have aD13B2 engine.

So, can anybody help me ?
