I finished wiring and everything for my obd1 b16a into my 97 civic coupe tonight. Went to crank the engine and the fuel filter starts losing fuel (not tight enough). I tell my grandfather "well there it starts". We tighten the fuel filter and turn the engine over again. The engine cranks and idles decent with a CEL being thrown. After idling for a few seconds, the fuel pressure regulator blows on the bottom side and starts spraying. It wasn't a violent blow or anything, just kinda a fast leak. I'm picking up a new regulator Friday since I have a funeral to attend tomorrow, but I think this swap will end up nicely, with only a few issues. I saw that I need a VTEC pressure switch sensor wired in, but I have an EX civic, so maybe I won't need this. We'll see...I didn't read into this swap as much as I should, but I do know my way around Honda engines and swaps a little. I'll try and update later.

 

Is there a tech. question in there somewhere?
