I have a 90 crx si w/b16a pr3 ecu vafc golden eagle fuel rail an FPR header 2.50" cat backall emitions are hooked up. Iits been doing this for atlest 2 months now, I have changed the cap and rotor a year ago just did a tune up plugs wires checked the timming its right on. fuel pressure is @ 40psi there are no fuel curves done on the vafc havent had it dynod yet. the car turns over about 3 cycles and I have to give it some gas to get it to start it iddles rough but when driving it runs good it bogs some times though. any help would be greatly appretiated thanks. I am also throwing a code 3 wich i believe is map sensor

i have the same setup minus the fuel rail etc. it takes mine a long time to start also, then sputters then finally fires up. but when running its smooth and strong. im wondering y this happens...ive seens other b16s in rexes do the same also.....maybe its just a b16 thing lol like the v dub tick

 

yeah its anoing as hell and it runs alittle rich too. I have been toing with the idea of going obd1 but not sure it will run any better

 

Could it be from a fouled fuel filter? Mine's not starting either, and I'm wondering if that might cause it to not start?

 

its very possible i do have over a 100thou on the chassis

 

anyone els have any ideas

 

well I put in a new fuel filter the car idles better and runse better, I did notice the fuel pressure whent up after the change so I adjusted it back to stock settings but the starting problem is still there. Any other sugestions

 

anyone els

 

I have also noticed that I dont get that warm up idle where it idles fast till it gets to opp. temp. and I still have a code 3 please help guys

 

Will converting the car to obd1 make it run better than obdo
