I installed a h22 in my car and I am running into problems that I can't figure out. I am getting no cel's either.

Here is the symptoms:

1) Car idles ok but still doesn't sound smooth, every 5-7 seconds I get a little backfire out of it.

2) When I take it for a drive, the lights go dim, the wipers start moving really slow, and it eventually shuts off. Once the car shuts off, It won't start back up, even if I have someone jump me. I also smell alot of unburned gas too.

3) Speedo does not work, the tach works, but once I turn the headlights on, the tach needle goes dead and doesn't work. Once I turn the headlights off, the needle slowly works its way back up to the current rpm.

4) If I let the car idle for 5 minutes, the idle eventually lowers and shuts off.

5) And last, I have to hook up the battery charger every time I want to start it.

Ok, after all this, this is what I checked/repleced.

1) replaced alternator
2) checked all fuses
3) made sure I am getting spark
4) Timing is dead on, I installed manual tensioner and looked the timing over, and over, and over.
5) Checked wiring harness and everything is were it is suppose to be, I used this harness on my last h22 in this car and I had no problems, the only thing I can think of on the wiring side of things is maybe something with my resistor box.

 

Voltage regulator?
