I just need some insight with anyone familiar with a B16A. I have yet to tap into the distributor still and check my fueling to the car but for some odd reason the car likes to stall/misfire @ about 5-6K rpms when driving.

This usually happens when you try to gun the car but when I ease into the gas pedal she will go to redline without a hitch. There is no initial check engine light when I start her up but when she misfires the CHECK ENGINE light flashes on but goes away...

I have changed the spark plugs for now, and she will not misfire in neutral when I rev her up but when driving is when she likes to act out.

Timing, fuel delivery, spark plug wires and distributor are on my list but any info would be great as where to start.

Thanks for reading!!!

 

had a similiar problem with my 95 ls, turned out to be a ground wire was lose and didnt have a great connection... so double check all your wiring and grounds... mine was the wire to the top of the thermostat housing was lose and would cause the car to misfire and act wierd when i would hit gas hard or big bumps...

 

Will do...Such a simple procedure but I will definately check that out...My friend had the car serviced in Dallas TX, who did his swap but they hacked some **** up according to him...He never used to have problems until he got this swap...Any more ideas people!!! TIA

 

bump for more info before I disect this weekend...

 

Changed distributor, plugs and still no good....The car has a CEL when it wants, on sometimes and then off...The code it is throwing is 23, Knock Sensor but it is hooked up and the car seems to run fine except for one thing...

VTEC kicks in but once I get to 6K, the rev bounce like I hit a limiter...Any B16A DA owners have this problem or anyone that can help me out...PLEASE DO...

Don't want to take to a shop. Last on my agenda.

 

Bump...No B16A DA owners...
