98 civic with the stock obd2a D harness. gsr motor. it has an obd1 dizzy with the rywire dizzy adapter. and has obd2a p72. all the plugs are fine
now its started after charging the battery. it idles at 500-600. and when he revs it the car dies or wants to die. hes not able to drive it....any suggestions

 

any suggestions...

 

any? my friend needs his car back on the road..

 

Have you checked the ignition or mechanical timing?

Is the CEL ON?

 

yeah. i told him to stick the paper clip in the jumper harness dealy to find out what code. he still didnt answer me. hes checking tdc right now.

 

Dumping too much fuel (check fuel pressure), timing, MAP/TP sensor, etc.

 

could obd1 dizzy and obd2 ecu have anything to do with it?

 

after putting the paper clip in the jumper dealy it flashes 4x then stays lit. i now its the crank position sensor. but the gsr motor doesnt have 1 does it?

 

yes the gsr motor has a crank sensor.. check your fuel filter maybe its clogged

 

-----CEL # List-----
1 O2A - Oxygen sensor #1
2 O2B - Oxygen sensor #2
3 MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor
4 CKP - crank position sensor
5 MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor
6 ECT - water temperature sensor
7 TPS - throttle position sensor
8 TDC - top dead centre sensor
9 CYP - cylinder sensor
10 IAT - intake air temperature sensor
12 EGR - exhaust gas recirculation lift valve
13 BARO - atmospheric pressure sensor
14 IAC (EACV) - idle air control valve
15 Ignition output signal
16 Fuel injectors
17 VSS - speed sensor
19 Automatic transmission lockup control valve
20 Electrical load detector
21 VTEC spool solenoid valve
22 VTEC pressure valve
23 Knock sensor
30 Automatic transmission A signal
31 Automatic transmission B signal
36 traction control found on JDM ecu's
41 Primary oxygen sensor heater
43 Fuel supply system
45 Fuel system too rich or lean
48 LAF - lean air fuel sensor
54 CKF - crank fluctuation sensor
58 TDC sensor #2
61 Primary oxygen sensor
63 Secondary oxygen sensor circuit
65 Secondary oxygen sensor heater wire (black wires)
67 Cat Converter
71 random misfire cylinder 1
72 random misfire cylinder 2
73 random misfire cylinder 3
74 random misfire cylinder 4
80 EGR Valve/Line
86 ECT sensor - Cooling System
91 Fuel Tank pressure sensor
92 EVAP Solenoid/Valve/Vacuum Lines

 

I think the GSR engine lacks the CKF sensor not the CKP sensor. Replace the distributor housing.

 

was the car running fine and then when you turned it back on it would die?

this happened to me... my FP is very high and I run a little rich, so I managed to "flood" the motor and really mess up my plugs.

Do you smell a lot of gas or anything out of the ordinary when you start her up?

 

no smell of gas. this is a swap from mexico aka chicago. i will tell him what you said and see if anything works. thanx

 

he has a stock fuel pump...would that matter. i know he needs to get a bigger one but at idle?.. il give him my other dizzy cap and see if that works

 

did you check the timing yet? it sounds like a timing related issue.

 

Things I would check:

1. Any CEL would really tell you what is going on.
2. Pull the plugs make sure they are good.
3. I assume your getting spark?
4. You have gas right? don't laugh if the gauge is broken you might not. (open the fuel door take out the cap and rock the car listen for the swashing.. you have gas. heh)
5. Injectors?


Wow thats all I know.... sad really.
