Alright, From the beginning. Last September I crashed my 93 Integra. Ruined Bumper cover, bumper, radiator support, a/c condensor, radiator, and banged up one pipe on my header. also crinkled the driver side fender support and ruined the hood and headlights. when the radiator hit the header, the whole motor shifted slightly. So over the winter i gathered alll the parts i needed to fix it. I took out the motor, and it was my first time doing this on any car, i'm only 18, and figured it to be a "good learning experience". I had to remove the motor to straighten it back out since it had twisted. while it was out i put in an 8lb light weight aluminum flywheel and a new oem clutch. i put the motor back in and hook, what i think, everything back up. i fixed all the problems, at least thought so. I'm having some really interesting issues right now.

1) The car starts up and immediately wants to die, but then after about 20 seconds, the check engine light pops on and the car runs fine. What the expletive is up with that? At first i thought i reversed the two black wires on the 02 sensor that i had spliced. I switched them, but the car still runs the same. I also thought i hadnt "bled the coolant" but when i try, the coolant level rises and just comes out the top.

2) My speedometer does not work. I have no idea what is causing this. When i hit a bump, it sometimes goes up to 20mph and just sort of bounces there, then it will go back to 0.

3) My temp gauge is not working. I have no idea about this.

4) The car has absolutely no ***** before 2000 RPMS and a lot more than it use to afterwards. Is this a result of the lightweight flywheel? I have no idea what the affects of a lightweight flywheel would be.

Any help on any of these issues would be greatly appreciated. I would take it down to the mechanic, but i just cant afford it at the moment.

1. Have you tried the method listed in the FAQ section about checking the computer codes? That might give you a little more insight to your problem and give us a little better info as well. I would do that first and go from there

Check the VSS (vehicle speed sensor)That should be located on the tranny. Make sure its in right and not snapped off inside the case.

3) My temp gauge is not working. I have no idea about this.

Check your sensor connections on the pipes. I believe they are located sorta underneath the distributor. If not the Coolant Tempature Sensor maybe faulty or the system may need to be bled as an air bubble may be causing an innacurate reading.

4) The car has absolutely no ***** before 2000 RPMS and a lot more than it use to afterwards. Is this a result of the lightweight flywheel? I have no idea what the affects of a lightweight flywheel would be.

Perhaps the timing may be a little of? I'm to sure on this as I've never had/driven an integra with a lightened flywheel but my ls is a little laggy in that department to.
