z6 swap engine problems
I DID A Z6 SWAP IN A 96 DX HATCH. I DID THE IAC FIX AND SWAPPED OUT THE
INTERNALS ON THE DIZZY. NOW THE ONLY THING I A HAVING A PROBLEM WITH
IS THE ENGINE HAS NO POWER AND DOESN'T IDLE. A BUDDY OF MINE OWNS A
H DEALERSHIP AND I WENT TO SEE HIM FOR SOME HELP. I HAD TWO CODES,
IAC AND THE OTHER WAS FUEL SUPPLY SYS. SO I ASKED HIM IF I COULD SWAP
OUT THE IAC WITH A SPARE HE HAD. HE SAID NO IN THE 35 YEARS HE HAS
BEEN WORKING ON HONDAS HE HAS NEVER HAD TO CHANGE ONE OUT, EVER.
SO I LEFT IT AT THAT. THEN WHEN I THOUGHT I'D SWAP OUT THE REGULATOR
TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP RID OF CODE 43 HE ALSO SAID HE HAS NEVER
HAD TO CHANGE A REGULATOR OUT EITHER. THEN I STARTED TO DOUBT THIS
GUY. SO I WENT HOME AND SWAPPED OUT THE IAC WITH ONE FROM MY OTHER
CAR, ONLY TO FIND OUT MY IAC DIDN;T HAVE ANY POWER GOING TO IT. SO I
THOUGHT I WOULD WORK ON GETTING THE CAR RUNNING BETTER AND WORRY
ABOUT IAC LATER. I RESET THE ECU AND CODE 43 WENT AWAY, NOW ONLY LEFT
WITH CODE 14 IAC. WITH ONLY THE IAC CODE I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR, IT
HAS NO POWER AT ALL. IT ALMOST SOUNDS AS IF IT IS DOWN A CYL. CHECKED
ALL PLUGS AND WIRES... OK. THEN CHECKED INJECTORS...OK. CHECKED FOR
VACCUME LEAKS, PUT MY HAND OVER THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT DIDN'T DIE.
NOW WHAT, I AM RUNNING A B16 TB WITH A D SERIES GASKET. I RE TORQUED
THE GASKET. STILL LEAKING... SO I FOUND A S2K THROTTLE BODY AND PUT
THAT ON, NO MORE LEAK. I SPRAYED CARB AND CHOKE CLEANER ALL OVER THE
PLACE AND I HAVE NO MORE LEAKS, BUT, IT STILL RUNS LIKE ****! THE
EXHAUST IS A LITTLE ON THE WARM SIDE SO I FIGURED IT ISN'T GETTING
ENOUGH FUEL. CHECKED THE CRAPPY AUTOMETER AIR/FUEL GUAGE AND IT
SAYS IT IS VERY LEAN. IN A PINCH I GRABBED THE VICE GRIPS AND CRUSHED
THE FUEL REGULATOR A LITTLE BIT TO RAISE THE PRESSURE A LITTLE. STILL NO
LUCK. THEN I THOUGHT, THE FUEL LINE I USED CAME OFF THE Y7, IT WOULDN'T
FIT RIGHT ON THE Z6 FUEL RAIL. I HAD TO BEND THE TABS BACK TO MAKE IT
FIT. IAM WONDERING IF MAYBE THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MISS
THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE. I AM RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS, I REALLY WANT TO GET
MY CAR RUNNING AND IAM PULLING MY HAIR OUT. PLEASE HELP!

Dude I just ficed the same problem I had same codes I was throwing IAC and fuel supply sys you have the wrong plug in the IAC the plug should be these colors lemme host a pic for ya
the plug wires should be those colors for the IAC blue yellow
the plug wires should be those colors for the IAC blue yellow
naw man i don;t think that will help me. after getting code 14 i ran two wires from the ecu jumper harness out the window over the fender to the iac just cause i couldn't get the pins out of the y7 harness. everything is correct i believe. it isn't getting power just confirmed with the volt meter. i think the jumper harness pins for the iac are loose. but i still runs like ****...

Ok I was finally able to make something out of all the caps, 1. Your buddy must have lost his brains 15 years ago. If he knew anything he would tell you that a code 14 indicates a problem in the IACV <U>circuit</U>. So your wires are fucked up. Since the MIL comes on right away I highly doubt it is the valve itself. So you disconnected the 2p connector and measure for voltage between the YEL/BLK and a BODY GROUND? If you measure from this wire to a body ground and didn't get voltage the YEL/BLK wire has a break/short in it. If you did get voltage there the check for continuity between the other wire on the IACV (BLU/YEL) and the A9 terminal on the ECU. If you got voltage in the first test and continuity in the second replace the ECU with a known good ECU and retest. The symptoms should go away. If the BLU/YEL wire is ok then apply and remove 12 V power to the IACV, if it doesn't click replace it.

</TD></TR></TABLE> Thank you basicly what I kinda explained I was throwing the same things code 14 (IACV) and 43 (Fuel Supply system) from having the WRONG plug in the IAC ut he disagreed with me when I know what the problem is but whatever its cool

here is the deal i have no power from the ecu from the yellow/black wire. i can't get power on a12 or a14 on the Y7 harness side. i followed the wires through the conversion harness to the ecu, no power on either one. does a p28 put power through these pins? i am really stumped. through the con harness one wire goes to the IAB pin and the other goes to A9 IAC. what should i do?????????????????

Ok man, print these two images out and follow the directions exactly. This is directly out of the Civic Factory Service Manual.. It may slightly vary with that conv. harness. But with common sense you will figure it out.


Good luck, you better get this now...
