i just put a d16a6 in my 88 4dr and did mpfi swap, k car starts now and then i thinks its coil, and clutch wont engage, i used clutch alignment tool got tranny on starter but clutch wont engage, new clutch and rest of that stuff, clutch cable tightened almost all the way but comes loose wtf should i do?? oh and when it does start i cant rev past 4000 then it sounds like 2step

 

CEL codes?

Clutch should been engaged when you don't push the pedal. I'm not not some English teacher, but I'm not sure what you mean is happening to your car. You wrote your question really poorly with "," all over the place and combing issues with your engine with issues with the transmission. It's all jumbled together and hard to read.

Seems like you are saying the clutch cable adjustment is as far as you can get it, but it's still loose?!?! Do you have the rubber bushings installed correctly?
Your clutch is normally engaged when you are not pressing on the pedal, but you are saying the clutch does not engage. That tells me that you didn't install the clutch properly. Did you mean that it doesn't disengage?

What happens when you actuate the level on the transmission with your hand (engine off)? Does it move REALLY easily or does it move easily and then get really stiff and difficult to actuate?
If you put the clutch together incorrectly if you can move the lever all the way up and down freely. It's supposed to move a little and you adjust your cable to remove this 'slack'. Then the lever should be difficult to pull up on without force. The force is needed to push open the clutch.

 

ok when i push in the clutch pedal and try to go in gear it grinds i cant get it in gear, if car if off and clutch is pushed in i can find all gears, only code im gettin is iat which doesnt matter, and sayin when i lift the lever to tighten clutch cable i tighten it as much as i can and still nothing

 

I would make a bet that you installed the clutch disc in backwards. The springs should be facing outwards towards the trans, not toward the block.

I made this mistake on my buddy's car when we swapped in a GSR trans. It would grind when we would try to put it in gear. Took it out, swapped it around, worked just fine.

My friends never let me forget the time I put a clutch in backwards lol

 

this would suck but ima gunna take a look lol god i hope i didnt id fell real dumb considering i do clutches almost everyday, does ne1 got a idea why my car starts when it wants to??

 

best bet to y it wont start on command is ....

check battery cables and clean the posts and if tht dont work replace the battery with a good working one.

if thts not the issue check all grounds and fix 'CEL"

 

also if u cant rev pass 4000, check what codes ur ECU is blowing

do u have the correct injectors?

ur car is in limp mode to prevent any engine damage it wont let u rev high because something is wrong fix it then pull ecu fuse out for atleast one minute then put back in and u should be good.

also check engine bay wiring harness or double check tht its wired up right or if anything is missing .

hope tht helps..

 

did you install a new throw out bearing as well?
