Hello everyone! I'm new here from accordtuner. I actually can't believe I never signed up here for so long but anyways, I'm from TN and here's my ride.

1994 Honda Accord LX with a JDM H22A swap from auto to manual. lowered on Skunk2 coilover springs (not full coilovers note) and KYB GR2s.







swap is still not complete though. when I last drove the car, the speedometer didn't work and the engine was in serious limp mode. It didn't even have enough acceleration to get up to speed on highways. throttle response is slow even in idle, and idle is very unstable, too. I didn't have all the vacuum lines routed right yet, but it would be very low and unstable (on the verge or stalling) so I had to open up two vacuum lines to raise it a little, but I think it's stil a little voilent. I found out I didn't have the oil pressure sensor wired up, actually I had a ground hooked up to it instead (don't ask) so I fixed that, and the CEL went away, but now the car won't start at all. AGAIN.

 

If Belt turns--->first check for spark and fuel
If no Turning of belt ---> check starter and wire going to starter also check timing belt.

 

nice car..im new too..i actually never use a forum before..lol
dont even know how to post pics..but i drive a 94 integra

 

oh, well ur in the accord forums, there's probably seperate section for the teggys, but you're welcome here. actually you can just click on my pics, and it'll take you to a site where you can upload pics!

anyways backc to accord99power, I just realized what the problem might be. I remembered I hooked up one ground to that tiny metal bracket that holds the wiring harness to somewhere...... I highly doubt that was a good place to ground it to. I'll try to extend it to reach the intake manifold or something and see if it runs tomm.

 

yah most definetly could be the prob if you your not turning over.

 

Yup! G101 on the end of the intake manifold is often times the culprit for no start swaps.



This image shows an F22 not an H22. No matter what engine is in the bay. The Accord engine wire harness still needs to be grounded directly to the intake manifold no matter what engine is in there. Make sure that whatever stud or bolt you choose to attach the ground to the manifold with. That the manifold surface is clean and free of any sort of coatings or dirt. Most times the manifolds have a clear coating on them and that will interfere with the ground. I suggest that you give the surface of the IM a light scuffing. Use a wire brush, steal wool or sandpaper before hooking it up.

 

check timing

 

yep, thanks. I just read somewhere here that another guy's car wouldn't start because of that. I think mine's the same problem because it's cranking, but it's not starting and I don't really know what the fuel pump's supposed to sound like either but I don't hear anything. Guess I'll find out in a few hours.

 

Sungsu, you haven't done yet? I thought you got it up and running already? Last time I saw, it was running. Now it wont run? Motor is clean as hell man.

 

ok, found out the problem. when I took the distributor out and back in, the wire from the external coil got stuck and..guess it wasn't getting through? (I converted from internal to external coil) so once I let that loose it fired right up, but the engine's still running in limp mode. Another thing though, is when I grounded the G101 (I grounded it to the driver's side of the intake manifold cuz that's as far as it could reach) 3 CELs come one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhWHepR-Mkc codes 10, 11, and 41. But there is no code 11 listed anywhere? If I take off that ground and just let it hang, the CEL goes away. but the engine still runs in limp mode............wtf

 

here's my g101 by the way

 

They need to bring back the newbie thread.
