ok my car isn't idleing correct it acts like its not getting fuel. It will be idleing fine then it acts like it cuts out for a second but doesnt turn off. couple of days ago it turned off once at a stop light. also the check engine light came on and and it threw 14 and 1 which is 14 IAC (EACV) - idle air control valve and 1 O2A - Oxygen sensor #1 i cleared the codes from the relay and it has not threw a check engine light since i'm thinkin it's either EACV or fuel pump. what do you guys think?

 

what year is the car? ...i think it may be the fuel pump

 

92 civic hatchback cx with b16a and chipped teg computer

 

92, then i would try changing out the fuel pump for sure, have you changed out the fuel filter lately?

 

naw thanks for reminding me also arnt u supposed 2 upgrade the fuel line injecter that goes into the fuel rail cuz im still using all the cx stuff

 

bump it

 

no... you dont need to do anything... haha jk.. eric use the fuel line from the fuel filter to the rail off a teggy gsr

 

my car does this too, but throws a code 43 and i have ls/vtec swap in a 92 vx hb.

 

im thinking its fuel related

 

yea code 43 is fuel supply...

 

no i meant did u upgrade ur fuel system like the fuel pump and the thing that goes into the fuel rail

 

i didnt. it was running fine no problems awhile ago. now, its sputters and idles low. i have one of my vaccums off just so it idles a lil higher so that when im rolling up to a stop light in neutral it doesnt die. if the vaccum is connected it will drop to low in the rpms and die. i dont know whats going on but its pissing me off

 

try using a different idle air control valve

 

i changed my whole throttle body!!! still the same

 

Is the car hard to start? A friend had the same problem, the in tank sock at the bottom of the Fuel Pump was really nasty and couldnt suck up fuel quick enough.

 

92eg6 the idle air control isnt on the throttle body

 

o the one on the intake mani... yea my bad, but still i really doubt thats the problem. also when im in 1st gear or 2nd and i accelerate like 1/3rd throttle it bogs, its not a solid power. its almost like its missing.

 

check your timing thats usually the problem

 

haha weve messed with the timing alot and its dead on(ignition and crank). the only timing that could be messed up would be if the timing in the uberdata changed itself or something.

 

If it came up with a idle air control valve code, and your having problems with it idleing, dont you think that you should at least remove it and see if its dirty. Its only 2 bolts and may just be the problem.

 

My car was doing that for a while, i checked the dizzy cap and rotor and poof, super oxidized so i changed them and the problem went away. Check the cap and rotor i'm sure that's the issue, and they're cheap from Kragen.

 

i already checked my cap and rotor, both r clean. and know and its throwing code 43 for fuel, not idle air control.
