YO i got a big problem i finished swapping the gsr into my civic with a chipped p28 , right when i start it up it doesnt stay started unless i keep my foot on the gas, and when reved up to about 1.5-2k rpm the engine sputters like theres not enough gas or there is a misfire but reved passed that and its fine. any one have any idea what this could be??? i'd really appreciate some feedback thanks.

 

no one??

 

you could check your vacuum lines, my car wouldn't idle for **** and that was the problem...

 

thanks bro

 

Check the IACV, and if u got a wideband check ur A/F ratio, if u got a FP guage, check ur fuel pressure as well...though it wouldn't make sense that it's not getting fuel if it's revving up fine...so it's probably the IACV (needs to be cleaned/changed) or the vacuum system is off (has a leak in it, sucking from some other place other than the intake...)

THere's a way to test the vacuum system for leaks, forgot how...do a search on that I guess...as for the IACV, cleaning it every now and then is good anyways IMO

If the vacuum system is completely sealed and the IACV is sealed & not clogged I would take another look at the ECU, make sure it's set up to immitate the P72... on the P72's stock fuel map

 

yeah thats what i heard but also people have been telling me it might also be the coil in the distributor?? thanks for the help

 

bump

 

any more input anyone??? please help

 

ya

It's not the dizzy...UNLESS, it's givin u breakup under acceleration, then it's possible, but a fucked up dizy won't ONLY give u problems at idle....it'll give ya breakup problems all 'round

 

yeah thats what im thinking hmmm would it be the ecu? because the guy i bought it from said it was chipt but if it wasnt would it still sputter at 1.5-2k rmps?

 

whats up my name is ANDY i wanted to know how to post questions on here and how to sell some parts i got .. if you could let me know how to do this i dont know how to post or talk to people this is my first time doing this **** .... thank you

 

hey also want check engine light is your car throwing? it could be the idol air control valve it probablyreading wrong or it no good

 

im not sure cause its p28 and the car is obd2 i dont know if i can get it checked with scanner
