i got my H22A into my 95 accord lx. everything works great. the problem is that the car feels like something is binding. (exa the axles) but i cant tell where its coming from. I used the H22 tranny W/lsd using my stock accord axles, and half shaft. thanks for any help

 

bump

 

how do you mean binding?? (like doesn't quite shift quite right)??

 

shifts perfect. i can be rolling at say 50mph and just drop the hammer and it has absolutely no acceleration. vtec fires and all, but i cant feel it. its got the p13 ecu, added the vtec wires both, and knock sensor.

 

talk to a mechanic....check some codes maybe....goodluck

 

this is the third swap ive done. and the only one with probs. no codes at all.
i need all the luck i can have. thanks

 

did you check your timming? tune up maybe? good luck

 

timing is fine, replaced all the main parts that would be included in a tune up plus some, thanks i need it

 

your axle set-up should be fine. You have to be more specific about "binding"

 

well im not exactly sure on how to explain it to you. I can be at a steady roll going just fine, and lay into the throttle and the car has absolutely no acceleration what so ever. i can hear vtec fire. when i shift gears for the first split second in the new gear it gos just fine then bogs back down. thats about the best i can explain it to someone.

 

hey jdm, i want to put the h22a in my 1995 accord also. if you can email me or get back to me in this board about how to go with that, that'd be awesome. like how much it cost you, what you bought n what not. i havent been able to talk to someone who did the swap yet. thanks!

 

My understanding is that you don't feel the throtle response right? Have you looking into your distributor wiring, your sparks, see if the a/f ratio is right? And also, check you injectors and the TB area as well. These are what I can think of. Other than that, might as well do a leak test.

Let us know what happened.

 

ok peeps heres what i found out. im getting fire to all 4 plugs allthough #3 is not getting a real good spark. when you try to take off 1,2,4 the car starts to die but you can completely take #3 off and no change. any ideas? ive got a new dizzy, plugs and wires, coil button, cap.

 

if all that doesn't work, then i'd say you got a bum motor my friend

 

Do you mean u got everything new??? hmmm i would try another plug set <if it dont work u can always return it> U might have a bad wire.

 

thanks everyone going to do a compression check tonight. ill let everyone know whats up.

 

maybe it's your vtec selonoid. hold a test light up to it and rev it to 5000 and see if it lights up. i heard this works.

 

ummm my vtec works just fine. the problem is throughout the entire rpm range not just in vtec.

 

well just tracked the problem down. the guy that wired my car for the swap cut one of the wires which just happened to goto injector #3 and used it for vtec. hahaha so now i gotta find the ecu pin. thanks for all the help guys
