ok i came to a conclusion on my ek hatch with a GSR,,,,,,,,,,it runs too damn rich and im dumping way to much fuel. if i run the car with the distributor in the middle where it is suppost to be it feels like im flooding the car BIG TIME, but if i run it fully advanced it runs good but then its off time does anybody know what this could be, injectors are good, i have good fuel in the car, and its not the ecu because i have tryed 3 different computers nd its the same problem? does anybody have any idea about this problem

 

hey man, this is a common problem on during swaps. check fuel psi. your regulator might be malfuctioning. also check the map sensor. it could be running the wrong code. but hey i saw you removed your power steering and your cruise control. could you tell me how you did that because i cant figure out where to disconect the running wire from the actuator. that'd be cool man.

 

i hooke a fuel pressure gauge up to the car and the fuel pressure is fine, and if it was the map sensor wouldnt it throw a code?????? my car is a CX but i could find out and let you know ASAP

 

have you looked in your engine bay lately??... if you do, i think you will find your problem

 

ok what is that suppost to mean?

 

that motor isnt going to get the best fuel economy... so basically there might not be anything wrong

can you explain please.

 

maybe i worded that wrong... i should have said "swapped" cars usually dont get the best fuel economy... they usually run rich for some reason... a friend of mine had a bone stock gsr in an eg and i couldnt get that to pass our emissions test here in tx and the limits arent very strict here... plus this guy has an intake, header, and type r manifold from what i can see... who knows what else he has done... hes been screwing with the timing as he stated so that could be a problem also

 

i swaped motor for quite a few cars with jdm b18c, b16 and they get around 32-35 miles a galon and they also pass smog check with flying color. provided that they do not removed all the smoged parts after the swap.

back to the topic. check your timing if might got off a tooth or two. plus need a bit more info about your set up.
