have a b16 that runs smooth as can be up to 6000 rpm. vtec engages smoothly but the engine starts acting wierd like its not getting enough of something. people have told me it could be the fuel pump has any had this similar problem.HELP PLEASE

 

thats kind of a vague explaination, could you give any more details?

 

Sound's like your not gettign enough fuel?

 

its justs starts cutting out and it wont accelarate any more kinda hard to explain.

that does not help him at all. if your not going to say something useful, dont post.

well if it lacks acceleration, it could be bad fuel pump, clogged injectors maybe. a little more diagnostic info would help alot.

 

Sounds fuel related by the little youve told us

 

ok if you accellerate everthing goes smooth vtec engages at 5500 then a 6000 its starts sputtering like its redlining. Ive checked the timing belt, spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel filter. COULD IT be a bad VTEC soleniod. VTEC does work though just the whole car starts acting up at 6000 so you have to shift its a wierd situation and very stressful any help is appreciated.

 

So why would it be a bad VTEC Solenoid, if VTEC is engaging smoothly? That doesn't make much sense to me...

Anyways, from what I'm hearing... This sounds like a fuel system problem. Pop your injectors out (please make sure your engine is off ) and see if any of them are leaking, check their O-Rings, seals, connection to the EFI Harness, etc.

But this sounds weird to me... It runs absolutely fine until 6,000RPM?

Could it be mechanical? Valvetrain related?

... Yea, maybe this question should be answered by someone who knows for sure.

Bump for better advice.

Fuel system is a good bet.

maybe a bad ECU (last resort) try getting a tune up done, get your fuel pressure checked.

 

tried the ecu swapped with 4 different b16 ecus does the same thing

 

well then tune it up, check that fuel pressure.

if you rev it over 6000 rpms in neutral does it still sputter?

 

A buddy of mine had an H22 that would do that. The problem with his was low oil pressure. Check your oil. Do you have a CEL?

 

no i changed the fuel pump thats not it either.

 

check your dizzy cap and rotor.......

 

... Call me ignorant...

But what is a dizzy cap? And which rotor?

-Wes

 

ignition?

 

what on the ignition though. any body think it could be the fuel injectors

 

CHECK YOUR OIL!!!

 

Wow, very newbish, but its aight, we were all there once.

Check your oil, like they've been saying, check Cap and rotor on your distributor, spark plugs, wires. Then, go for a good tune up.

 

I had an almost similar sistuation. I thought it was my fuel pump, my injectors...almost gave up my honda cause of all the frustrations. I found out that it was my Cat, it blew on me and the honey comb filter pieces were stuck in my exhaust. maybe you should check your cat. a methood of doing it is, bang your cattie with a plastic hammer and see if you hear clunks moving around. that can be the case. good luck man

 

any body else have suggestion i need help bad could i have low oil pressure

 

yes yuo could, did you checkyour oil? and the cap and rotor is on the dizzy, its the black cover and the metal disk inside

 

here the latest if you are driving and its gets to 6000 rpm and stop if you just keep on the gas you get a cel it code 22 can somebody help me please. could it be my map sensor on the intake manifold also HELP ME PLEASE
