ive got a 95 civic with an f22 b1 swap in it and im having vtec engagement problems and the revy idle i cant figure out what the deal is can anyone help a guy? ive got a code 14, and a code 21

 

ok ive figured out what my codes are and i put a new iacv and vtec solenoid on and the civic still revs up and down and my vtec still wont engage and its driving me insane does anybody have any ideas as to what it might be

 

try checking your oil level and oil pressure

 

my oil level is good i dont have my oil pressure gauge hooked up yet ill do that tomorow after i get off work as for the manual i almost want to throw my computer ill try downloading it again in a bit

 

have fun

 

Use the idle adjustment screw on the intake TB that might fix it. It could also be a vacuum leak, or a number of other things lol... sensors are so sensitive

 

ok i put on another iacv and it still revs up and down and then i stuck my finger over the hole in the tb and it quit doing it untill the coolant temp hit operating level any ideas? ive checked the vacumn lines and everything looked good

 

If you’re getting trouble with the code of your 95 civic with an f22 b1 swap in it, you must firstly check your manual for further information.

 

Why would his manual have anything to do with this? It is called an engine swap for a reason...


Supposedly those solenoids are VERY easy to break if you install one and apply to much pressure.

 

if you put your finger over a "hole" and the revving went away, you have a vacuum leak. right at where that hole was. there is supposed to be a line going to that from somewhere.

...skeeter...

 

make sure the VSS is hookup and working corect as no VSS=no vtec

 

would the vss have anything to do with the idle? its a new vss so idk whats going on and as for the hole i plugged with my finger it was inside the throttle body going to the iacv and now it only does it when its at operating temp

 

nvm i didnt read whole post on the vss im banging my head here its driving me insane im about to rip the engine out and start fresh

 

well before you go that far i would eliminate all the small possibilities first. as the old expression goes it is always the small things that cause the most problems

 

ive got it down to a faulty iacv from jordan motors cuz i put one on it from an intake manifold from work and it runs just fine and my speedo still only reads 20 mph and im scratching my head going what next? hell my last 2 cars i had didnt drive me this insane. but i guess its because they were both pretty straight forward and wasnt a hybrid car like the civic

 

yeah but once you get it done and over with it will feel much more rewarding LOL

 

very true im getting anxious to drive it all i have left is to paint my fenders and figure out why my speedo is stuck at 20 mph and then out of the garage she comes hehehe

 

the guy i got the car from started the project and i kinda picked it up in between phases instead of buying mounts he cut and rewelded the accord mounts in so the only thing i can run is an f series or h series engine the welds are flawless once i get my camera going ill load up some picks and show you the progress its frustrating as hell but its something to look forward to

 

ive got a few pics loaded up on my profile check em out
