Ok I am cross posting this on a few of my favorite forums LAWL...

been away do to multi back-to-back iraq tours....and training

so give me some slack


Back Story :
b16 CRX SI 1991, OBD1 conversion, ostrich 2 w/crome map, WB tuned ~13.9:1 A/F
car was rebuilt in 2004, drove perfect, location : sunny Flordia;
Joined the Army, Car sat for ~2+ years, With no starting and stupid stuff added to tank
aka, Mystery Oil; Stay-bil fuel stablizer, and octane booster of some kind (thanks dad)
car was then trailered to Humid sunny Georgia, and then comes the FUN...

car arrived unstartable, first off, i KNEW that the fuel was bad, drained fuel, added new,
no start, fuel pump would not come on, master relay switched out, no pump...

so i went crazy...

got my self a new pump (xenocron 255lph), fuel rail, FPR and injectors, and filter (b18a 1991 Acura teg LS)
installed said items... car now runs goood.... or so i thought.

when coming down from load, (a small LEGAL run up to 55-75 then a quick(ish) stop)
it would "try to stall".... this is semi difficult to explain...

it would act as if it had NO or TOO MUCH fuel, sometimes i can hold the pedal down WOT, and it would "catch up" and then start to accelrate or rev up, depending on if i have come to a complete stop or not.
usally it would stall.
which required, multible key cycles with WOT starting to get it to run.
when it did finally run, (sometimes even 2 hours later of leaving it alone) the exaust was blacker and thicker, aka RICH

at this point i assumed Fuel issues, so i removed the tank and pump, and found out my sock had come off the pump, so i got ANOTHER pump, and filter, replaced it.

car ran great, with no issues for about 10-20 miles. then.. .back to fun
didn't have time, (was changing bases again in the army) so car was shipped to TX
I have the Car back now, and wondering where to go from here.

I was thinking that perhaps my return fuel line was semi clogged, causing it to clog at times, which in turn causes massing PSI hikes, blah blah blah...
I was informed by other people this may not be the case...


any one got any constructive ideas? all questions are welcome, trying to get this beast a-runnin'

For the record....
my hatch sat for 4 1/2 years and fired right up...not sure about "bad gas"....
my new xenocron 255lph is acting funny as well....
bump for this guy, who is serving our country.....THANKS....
good luck......

ps based on your wot pedal issues, it may be the igniter in the distributor?
it's easy to blow out the fuel lines to eliminate that as a potential problem.....

I was thinking the same thing, ignitor for the WOT drivability issues, and it couldnt hurt to blow the line out with some compressed air

 

Thanks, I am starting to source a ignitor, and will update when/if it fixes the problem.
