did a motor and tranny swap to my 92 civ dx hatch. put in a jdm d15b sohc vtec. ran like crap. just changed the injectors, ran good, then ran like crap again an hour later. what could be wrong? it had less than 10% leak down.

 

My car runs like crap too.

Care to be a little more specific?

 

sounds like it is missing. like its running on 2 cylinders. idont know why the injectors are going bad though

 

man don't complain .........i don't even have a car i have to drive my dad's oldass camry

 

if you think its a fuel problem check the rail and regulator.

 

what would cause the injectors to go bad?

 

check sprak, timing and fuel, compression test?

 

that's how everything get started man, just work your way up and you will find a way to enjoy working on your car.

 

If it ran ok after changing the injectors and then ran like crap again soon after, I'd suspect something in your fuel system is clogging the injectors.

 

so, do i replace my brand new fuel filter again? its already a new filter. should i get a new fuel tank, lines, and pump?

 

fill your gas tank up with high 91 octane, and run that lucas fuel injector cleaner through it

 

drive around running on only a few cylinders?

 

only to the gas station...then put the 91 in the rest of the tank

 

then run it?

 

why wouldn't a code be thrown if something is wrong with the injectors or if its missing?

 

did u do a tune up?

 

it has a new water pump, plugs, cap, rotor, msd blaster coil, wires, and timing belt.

 

when did you change your fuel filter? Befor or after changing the injectors? If it is a problem with your injectors, a 92 civic won't throw a code.

If its on two cylinders i would suspect the MSD coil. Only thing messed with thats not stock.

 

ok, all cylinders smoked when i put water on the header. checked the resistance and voltage of the wires and they were good. i am putting new plugs tomorrow and then i dont know, probably ordering a new dizzy. i dont know what else it could be! there is spark to all cylinders. i am lost....

 

bump

 

I hate my car too

why did you put water on the header ?

 

my car is crap 2!! dont trip

 

put water on the header to see if exhaust is going through. if the cylinder is running the water should burn off the header
