Hey guys whats up i like to thank everybody that help with getting my car running....all it was the t-stat ground which is wierd on the accord its on the intake manifold by the driver side. but on the H22 it by the t-stat. so i plug it up and sounds so nice.....but now

i am at another wall....please help me

i have the worst surge problem.......car is idle from 900-4000.....fast idle is okay i iacv is good too i took it all off my running prelude in the back...i know its okay....i drive the car down the road and just surge like crazy.....so i check Vacs.... i went off the accord vac set up under my hood the best i could now i am stuck....so i need help with that..and now their is one last thing...

OVER HEATING.....guys i tell you....

driving it felt so damn good but watching my baby catch that fever i felt bad.....i get home from driving not even 3 mins just testing it out....it over heated crazy fast smoke under the hood and all....and no their was no smoke by the water pump...... no leak....but i notice that radiator fan did not come on at all....

my question now for that issue is .......the harness...where do the plugs go i mean damn can somebody just help me out on this please like the ECT and ECT switch....the pressure plug all this

i know you will say one at a time but i been doing this swap for 3 months so far.....

 

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

check all of your coolant hoses and fix the one that bad(if you see smoke then one is bad or loose,also check your radiator),also change your thermastat. you also might have a vacume leak. the factory accord has less vac
line attached to it so make sure you plug up the empty ones on you intake manifold. what ecu are you running and do you have any codes?

 

You sure you bled your coolant all the way? T-stat would be a good thing to change whenever swappin in older motors. But driving until your motor started smoking? It woulda been wise to stop if you saw that needle climbing but thats me.

 

okay i fixed the overheat problem the reason why it was over heating was from when my friend put my radiator back in the car his dumb *** forgot to plug up the plug to the fan under the radiator something that simple but yeah i got it running cool now.

now the onlything that i have left is the surge problem its surging from 1000-3000 so i pluged up all the vacs......fixed the fast idle and iacv and....put my thumb in the throttle body and still surge like crazy ......anymore pointer?

thanks in advance

 

okay just got back from my last post i got it idle at 1000-2500 how did i do it i just rearrange my vacs....also plug up alot of open vacs that seemed needless also took off the iacv and took it apart and cleaned it inside and the holes on the outside....and now it is down in idle....does somebody else have any pointers...............

please help out i am almost their....

 

well my guess is that if ur changing vac lines around and its dropping then ur vac lines probably arent right

 

well i had this surge problem with my car where it would idle from 1000 - 4000 then sometimes 5000 rpms but i took it to my boys shop and he sprayed this special spray on my intake manifold gasket area and it idle perfect so took my car home and bam..................my intake manifold bolts were lost as hell....

now here comes the problem i have now.....HEHE all my intake manifold bolts are good besides 3 . The 3 that are bad are short meaning broke off the guy that gave me the engine which was free i did not pay no money before ya'll call me a jack@$$....

do does anybody know an easy way to take off the studs from the intake side of the engine? has anybody had this problem with the studs.....i already took the intake mani off so i just need help with that please. i will post pics soon to show you what i am talking about if you guys need pics....

 

just take 2 NUTS and ut them on the stud, lock them togeather with 2 12mm open end wrenches and turn them out. if they broke then use a vice grip or pliers to twist them off

yeah the good news bout that is i have tried that already like 5 times spent 2-3 hours on it and the vices just messed up the pattern on one of them .....those things are on tight i did a search on how to do it but everybody have been getting it done in one shot with that way..... thanks though anymore suggestions?
