Ok guys, I'm getting fed up with this.
Background: I installed this motor about 6 months ago, ran fine no problems, never had a CEL until an o2 sensor went out. Well, fixed that. Ran fine for a week then another problem.

Problem: Every now and then the car would sputter and cut off while I would be driving. The car wouldn't die, the lights stay on in the dash. If I hit the accelerator the car would bog and the revs would keep dropping. Then I had to turn off the car and start it back up and it would drive fine again for 5 minutes and it would cut off again. Motor still hit VTEC and ran hard when it would work. It has been getting worse and worse and now won't even stay on for 10 seconds. The car would crank and turn over but cut off again.

I thought it was a fuel problem so I changed my fuel injectors, fuel pressure regulator, and resistor box for the injectors. Then the spark plugs and wires, got a new dizzy cap and rotor. Still same problem.

I need to get my car running so I can get to college and work its kinda pissing me off.

Any ideas guys?? Thanks in advance.

 

Could be the ignitor on the distributor or the main relay. you are going to have to find out if its a spark or fuel problem.

 

im have this same problem at the moment really pissing me off. i think i going to go for a swap to a JDM B18C7r cause for the last 4 months all i have copped is **** from my b16a

Does it pick up at like 2500 rpms? mine boggs if I floor it, then picks up power at 2500. but if I just give it gas slowly it revs fine.....I cant figure it out. I think timing maybe, but I'm goin through it all. have new dist.

would a fuel pressure regulator do this.

need answers.

 

one more time

 

Sounds like an o2 sensor problem to me..maybe you have the wires switched around? Or could be the ignitor..

 

o2 sensors would make the car cut out? i would think it would run really bad but not cut out. I'll check it out.
I changed the ignitor, but i'll double check

 

changed the main relay. car stays on longer. Now the rpms don't work, when i hook it up to a battery it will turn over no problems at all car runs, good idle everything works.
when i disconnect the jumper the car wants to die the lights dim out.

 

hey man just basically look at everything.. it could be anything... check everything on your fuel sysem and ignition system.. that will be the only way to find the proble or get someone with a scanner of some sort to look at the o2 voltage when ur driving...

 

problem fixed.

so what was it?

 

main relay, and alternator. Also changed my ignition coil in the dizzy.
a world of difference.
