Yes I searched. No I found nothing directly relating to my problem. I just had my 90 DX with a D15B2 converted to MPFI. The problem is on the IACV on the A6 manifold there's 2 nipples. One of them has a hose leading from the IACV to the intake manifold. The other one has no hose on it at all and there isn't one to be found for it. That right there explains why coolant is spraying all over my engine bay. The people that did my swap must've looked over hooking up all hoses correctly when they finished. If you look at the IACV from the front it's the nipple on the right hand side that's hoseless and the one on the left has the hose leading from the IACV to the intake manifold. What do I do with the nipple on the right side, if I put a hose on it where would it go? Here's a pic of what I'm talking about:

 

I think the outlet goes back to the water pipe running along the backside of the block.

 

Yeah I went outside right after I posted this and started running my hand by the oil filter and found a hose thats not hooked up. It's not long enough to reach the IACV though. Would this be the one youre talking about? It's right by the oil filter.

 

anyone?

 

Yup, should be it.

 

yep got a new hose and plugged it in to where you said. it worked but now i have a surging idle, gotta search for a vacuum leak

 

glad you got the coolant fixed. did you get a breather filter or hose for the valve cover to intake?

 

i got my intake yesterday so it's straight. still having idling problems, and the temp gauge, gas gauge, and turn signals don't work. anyone know which wire I should check?

 

As for the surging idle, check the FPR. I know that vacuum line kept slipping off and I kept sticking it back on.

I'll come over Tuesday night and we'll get her straight.

I bet if you guys tighten down the idle screw and zip-tie all of the vac. lines on real tight she'll purr like a kitten.

 

No need to worry about it anymore. Head gasket is blown. Working out a deal for a DOHC ZC now.

WHAT?! WTF happened?

 

A multitude of things. Coolant leaks, then wires were shorting that were cut by the ECU causing my turn signals to stop working, had no gas gauge, no temp gauge. The little wiring problem got fixed, fixed all the coolant leaks and noticed the car was sucking down a lot of coolant with no leaks in sight. Then the white smoke appeared. Pulled the dip stick and there was definitely coolant in the oil.

It's all good my friends are helping me work out a deal for a DOHC ZC w/ an Si transmission. I figured I'd go for the ZC since the wiring is already completed and it's a drop in affair. If you and Jon could help me out w/ the ZC that'd be sick.

**** dude, that thing is haunted!

But yeah, like you said, the wiring is already done for MPFI, so basically it would be a bolt in job. Since we left so much extra wiring in there it should be no problem to adapt it to a different motor.

If you can get an Si tranny too that would make the whole car feel infinitely better. Thats the best upgrade I've done to date. Just make sure the tranny is in the same year range as your engine/car so it's all gravy with the axles and such. Check the first post in my project thread for some diagrams on that.

 

holy ****, check your pms

Yeah the MPFI swap caused a lot of problems lol. Coolant leaks, wiring issues, overheating. But I look at it as now I have an opportunity for bigger and better. I imagine the ZC won't be too difficult but I thought the same of the MPFI swap lol. I guess we'll see what happens. I'll definitely be at the EF meet though, just not with my hatch. I'll probably be driving my moms 94 ls lol.

 

i've got a headgasket and water pump if you want to get her running

check your pms

Well, I knew the coolant was leaking, that much was obvious, but fixable.

The overheating was probably caused by the lack of coolant and that probably popped the head gasket.

I just can't imagine that the wiring shorted out! Jon's wiring was mint! (albeit a little excess of wire, but that shouldn't matter.)

 

i'll give the gasket, water pump and timing belt i have because of the mishaps.

No arguments there. But it did short out...but those wires are capped now and the temp gauge, gas gauge, and turn signals work lol.

 

damn i must have been more tired then i thought. speaking of which i'm out for bed. i'll talk to you later. sorry again for all of this ****

 

Well, if you do decide to swap the ZC, lemme know and I'll be there to swap that bitch!
