ok i posted before but that was with just what the guy told me

ok its zc bottom with a vtec head the only numbers i found on the head was p06
its a pm6 ecu

it starts and idles fine but if i give full throttle it bogs down to nothing the

the vtec isnt hooked up and for right now i think its best

and sometimes well most the time it smokes like uncle bucks car

any clue to whats wrong with this car other than it should be taken to a junkyard?

 

sounds like a good project car tahts for sure

 

yeah i was more hoping to get an idea of what could be wrong....i know its a project

 

There is a good possibility that your timing is off. Also, unless the PM6 ecu is rechipped or something, you won't have vtec anyway. Just by chance, do you have a picture of the engine? Or just an engine bay shot?

 

i will try to get pictures tomorrow

 

What color is the smoke coming out?

 

its a white light grey, and there is oil building up in the tailpipe also but it still like runs pretty strong

 

Get your vtec hooked up and a proper mapping for that setup.
A stock P28 map would do much better than what you have.
Just because you don't have vtec hooked doesn't make it a Pm6 worthy head - the cam has totally different profiles than what that ECU is looking to serve.

Opening up on it without proper mapping - not even surprised it bogs

Other than that you need to crack that engine open.
It's a far off chance that your PVC valve is failing - most likely you got a blown headgasket, cracked sleeve, bad rings... etc.

 

Either...

1. Headgasket is bad.
2. Head is warped.
3. Head is cracked
4. Block is cracked.
5. ECU or injectors is bad and giving not enough fuel/too much in which case it would be blowing black smoke or greyish smoke

 

yeah seems like a bummer guess start with a p28 and if that doesnt work off comes the head

 

BTW - if that P06 is chipped then you can convert it to operate vtec.

check out the 11F0 and 1720 kits. you will need to figure out which one you need for your ECU.

They also do chipping - you should look into that so you can get a tune done or at least a decent basemap.

 

i just went out there now that its daylight and i had an idea what to look for and the oil has gas it in it and all its new oil....does that narrow it down any? also i just took the valve cover off and its got tons of gas in the head

 

not to be the bearer of badnews but that head isnt a vtec head? p06s are non-vtec.

usually gas in the oil is a good indication of bad rings. get us some pics of your motor and the back side.

 

oh i dont care if its non vtec but it has a solonoid and of course its says vtec lol yeah i am trying to get a damn camera

 

this is all i got its what he sent me on a cell phone so its not the best angle or detailed but will maybe help

 

that is a vtec head how much didi u pay for the car anyway

 

nothing i had an old 1985 cutlass laying around that i traded

 

?

 

get a better picture.
