I recently installed a 2000 ITR engine in a 98 EK hatch. Everything wired to OBD2A. Car boggs realy bad and even dies at times. Idles fine though. Replaced fuel pump, plugs, wires, cap & rotor. Fixed nothing! All sensors hooked up. Used a generic OBD2 scan tool......no codes! Have a fuel pressure gauge, what should fuel pressure be? Motor pro's please help!

 

Bump for the night crew!

 

AM I in the wrong forum? Anybody?

Did you make sure your MAP and TPS sensors are hooked to the right places? Is the timing correct? Maybe a plug wire or two in the wrong spot?

 

All wires are in the right spot. MAP & TPS sensors are hooked up to the right place (not switched). Checked timing and is correct. Just for the heck of it I pointed the timing light to the cam-gears while the engine is running and it looks like the intake cam is up one tooth (lines not directly parrellel to each other. I don't know if this means a whole lot because you aren't supposed to use timing light on cams only on the crank pulley, but thought I would share anyway, just in case.

Any other suggestions?

 

Bump for the evening crew!

 

Hmm well if if the cam is off by a tooth that could easily caust lots of problems with out shooting codes. I dunno how to check this ha ha, but if you do know how to, I'd check that first.

 

check cam and ignition timing.

 

i got the same exact prob how'd you fix it. i did everything you did to
