well the only obvious problem my car has at the moment is the radiator fan doesn't work.. but this problem was happening before that stopped working.. the car just drives really sluggish after 15-20 minutes of driving..

I get a ton of pop's out of my exhaust.. etc etc.. it's also hard for the car to even boost..

any ideas guys??

car is a b18c1 /w revhard 2c

 

bump.. nobody responding here.. do you need more information???

 

More information would help.

Its not very smart to be driving when your cooling fan doesn't work. That's a good way to overheat your motor. (blown headgasket, warped head, etc.)

 

well i blast the hell outta the heater if it starts.. a lot of the time when it gets real bad i shut the car off.. basically it pulls hard as hell before the 15 mins.. which don't make any sense...

what sort of information would help..

everything ignition wize is pretty much stock.. engine management is a hondata s100 /w boost.. got the hi-flow aem fuel system.. and 850cc injectors..

hondata is tuned but it needs to be fine tuned and i'd like to get this prob fixed since a dyno session of 15 mins would be pointless..

 

just wire your radiator fan to always be on when you turn the key on

 

well i don't really think that's the cause of what's happening after 15-20 mins.. it even occurs after driving on the highway for 15-20 mins.. as soon as i get off.. it runs like crap.. lots of popping out of the exhaust etc...

 

bump.. come'on someone's gotta know what's going on here..

 

two probable causes...

1) just get it tuned

2) do a compression check....sounds like when it warms up you have some blowby and/or some sort of leakage. Any mixing of fluids (oil/coolant)?? Your head could be warped from overheating...

do a compression check when its cold, then do one while its running like ****

 

I haven't pulled the valve cover off to look.. also I get no smoke out the exhaust either.. if that helps at all..

 

just do a compression check then when your cars running like crap

 

Oxygen sensor!

 

your fuel i getting too hot somewhere causing it to run lean

When your car is first started up and is cold, it runs off an open loop(fixed) program. Once the car gets to operating temperature, the ECM will switch to a closed loop program that runs off the Oxygen sensor. If your O2 sensor is bad, it will run like crap, and you won't get a check engine light on a non-OBD2(95-under) car. Something to look into.

 

hrmm.. well the oxygen sensor is brand new.. i sodered all the wires..

if it is the damn o2 sensor i am seriously gonna lose my mind.. i'm so tired of messing with that POS.. is it possible to reprogram hondata to run open loop all the time?? i'm so fed up with the damn o2 sensor..

as for the fuel getting hot somewhere.. how can i fix that problem?? and how does the problem even happen??

 

well it will get hot and boil and it i will run like ****

 

well if that's the case what's the fix?? i don't know how something like that can go wrong.. not saying your wrong.. i'm just trying to figure out how to get this car running right again.. it's driving me insane..

 

check and see if teh fuewl line is conatcting any part of teh exhaust if not then try resetting the computer. a clogged cat could also be a definate possibility

 

ok will check that out.. and there is no cat so that shouldn't be the cause..

That'd be pretty tough, considering the fuel lines run inside the car.

 

in the engine bay i mean
