hey guys i gotta type r motor in my EK. I wanna kno if its normal for blk smoke to come out when i open the vtec? thanx

 

sounds like your running hella rich.

 

well, first off, don't open the vtec, because sometimes its hard to shut. second, i agree that you are running rich, do you have the right computer? any excessive fuel mods? adjustable fpr, injectors, fuel pump???

 

no everyting is stock. I kno the check engine light is on but its throwing lots of codes. The codes are 10-41-54-63-91-74. I dunno what it is./

 

when you open the vtec, clean the screen and replace trhe gaskets, or else, vtec might not close properly

 

what u mean clean the screen. Whcih gaskets shudd i change. i changed the valve cover

ummm.... shouldn't your post have been, "i'm thorwing the following codes"? then someone would tell you to search, then you'd do that, and find out the codes mean (fill in the blank) , and then we wouldn't even have to address the black smoke issue?

 

get the right ecu thats probably the problem alot of cars always smoke when you mash on the gas abnd hit vtec its normal i think ... i know that when ever my chech engine light is in my engine dont hit vtec the same or at all

 

i think we all want to know, how do you open vtec?!

Jesus Man.. Dont drive your car.. Its not running right and you gotta fix this before you beat on it.. you gotta be misfiring like crazy. Bad o2 Sensors COULD throw you into limp mode (also makes you run rich)


10 IAT - intake air temperature sensor
41 Primary oxygen sensor heater
54 CKF - crank fluctuation sensor
63 Secondary oxygen sensor
91 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor low input
74 random misfire cylinder 4

 

thats the ting, when i open the vtec i notice that everyting seems to be normal&gt; The car does not sound like its misfiring. It drives normal to me. PPl tell me tha the swap tha was done to it cudd be the prblem wiht the wiring harness makin it throw out those codes.

yea definitely need to fix the above before you even drive your car... let alone "open vtec"!!

Definately could be a harness issue.. also could be a ECU issue.

what ECU are you using? are you 96-98 or 99-00?

 

make sure you refrigerate your vtec after opening

no doubt, but make sure it pops the first time you open it, that means its fresh!

i wouldnt recommend driving it until you get rid of those CEL's

turn on the car, hold your ear to the valve cover, and hold the throttle at wot and hold it there for about 5 minutes, if you hear a loud pop, its broken

 

Jesus can you guys stop bashing the guy.. he is here and he is following the rules..

He is here to learn something about his car and figure out whats wrong with it.

Please try to stay on topic.. Bash only those that deserve to be bashed. this guy doesnt need it

don't think i agree with ya there guy, he needs to do more research before he touches that car, a mechanic should handle this one

 

why do you think i told him i wouldnt recommend driving it til he clears those CEL.. if he cant clear them then Someone else can

 

WOW. Why would you want to attemp to drive the car w/o even knowing what those codes were? You need to fix all the problems before you open the vtec, and break it all.

 

the way i figure it, nobody "deserves" bashing, but if anybody is gonna get it, its this guy, i still don't think he realizes we're messing with him...
