b20 engine problems
hey just want to know whats goin on with my car i just recently swapped my enginge in my teg for the b20 and it was running fine up till i took it to a place where they pass cars emissions and the guy messed with my timing now long story short the other day im drivin home from work and it felt like my car stopped like the engine wanted to back fire and like 30 sec. later it just flat out turned off and when i went to start it it wouldnt start it churns over but nothin then today i go out and try and start it so it does it fires up but when i go to give it gas it feels like it bogs
what could it be????
what could it be????
well thats the thing im messed with the timing but out of no where it like stalls then turns off my friend thinks its the distributer bout i feel it has somethin to do with the gas cause when i rev it like kinda bogs for a sec then it revs high out of no where
Did you mess with the timing, or actually reset it to where it's supposed to be with a timing light? Just loosening the bolts and swinging it forward or back won't get it back where it needs to be. There's a procedure to follow.
what you have to do then to reset it is it a do it your self thing or like do i nedd to take it into the shop and thats another thing the fuel filter where is that located???
fuel filter is on the firewall it has a good size fuel line running to ur fuel rail..kinda hard to miss really I really dont understand why u would let some random person mess with ur timing..but i would recommend using a timing light and check ur fuel filter sounds like a good start.

well i had to take it to a shop so i could pass emissions but lesson learned dont let people **** with my **** so now i came across another problem my dist. isnt off the b20 its off an ls when we did the swap we used the obdo instead of the obd2 so right now its of the 91 ls youthink that might have somethin to do with my car failin i dont think it should it ran fine for the longest time but??? im just sick of drivin my umcles truck and mazda
im almost positive its your fuel filter. i used to have the same problem when i first bought my integra. it would bog sometimes then the rpm would shoot up cause i floor it to get past the bog. replaced the filter and it never happend again. i think the mechanic thing was just coincidence. go get a new one from some where and pop your hood. if you cant find it then you shouldnt be working on cars(not an insult cause i have faith in you, lol)
you dont have aftermarket cam gears, right?
you dont have aftermarket cam gears, right?
yes aem cams and i know but i just started this whole car thing less the 3 months ago so i understand if i sound stupid but you have to start from somewhere right
well ya i didnt have the wire harness for the b20 when i bought it it was just the motor and the trans i had to by the ecu and i my friend said the the ls would work for it and sure enough it did but my homie from work said that wire harness are a waste of money to just go to radio shack and that they sell some wire thing there and to make my own that its cheaper oh and if i do that i could drop my b16 head on there is that true???
