ok, so i have a 1991 civic hatch, dx, that ive done auto to 5 speed swap, and dpfi to mpfi swap to
im having a problem, with the fuel i believe

ok, so i got the mpfi wired up, the car worked, but was sluggish, and hesitated, then just got worse, eventually, burned up a sparkplug wire, number 3, and then after i changed that, it ran, then burnt another one, and wouldnt start (i drove it around for like 30 minutes), this time it burnt #2, so i figured maybe my wires were weak, so i bought some duralast ones, the high heat whatevers, and new sparkplugs, ngk platinums, then it started up, and rev'd fine for like 30 seconds, then as i got in the car, tried to drive off, it died, wouldnt start back up, finally, it did, and it would bog down and die when i gave it gas, so we decided it was the dizzy that had went bad, so i bought another one, then it cranked up fine, and rev'd fine, and yet again, when i tried to drive off as soon as id let off the gas this time, it would die, now its doing that same thing, so i thought it may be my fuel filter, changed that out, still does the same thing, so im thinking its my fuel pump, and when i listen for it, it doesnt prime, so i replaced the fuel pump, tested it, it primed, put it back in the tank, and it stopped priming, ive taken it out, and checked both positive and negative wires, theyre on properly, yet it still wont prime
car still starts however, i just have to give it gas when i crank it over, and then i have to hold the gas in, otherwise it dies, ive tried readjusting the throttle cable, just incase, but that does nothing, ive advanced, and retarded the dizzy, that doesnt do much either

i have no idea what the problem is, my buddy says i could have a vaccuum leak, another says thier could be a bad ground? and yet anotherr says that i just need to clean out my injectors

i need help, this is my dd, and it seems everytime i pay for insurance, it does this crap, so i never have a running car, after making a near $400 down payment

someone has to have had this problem before, or just be smart enough to know whats wrong

PLEASE help me get this thing driveable

 

any pics of the burnt plugs

 

nah.. they melted at the bottom, the little gromet that locks onto the sparkplug
one even broke off and got stuck, i had to get 12' long forceps to yank it out
but it is all out, so i know thats not the problem
and the new wires arent burning at all

 

if you can rig a fuel pressure gauge up and unbolt the back of your hood, to pass the gauge thru. tape the fuel pressure to the windsheild, then you could see if the fuel pressure is going away before it turns off.

 

but whats that got to do with it priming once, then not priming again?

 

do you have the correct jumper for the dist? or did you rewire the dizzzy right? i ran into a similar problem with my dpfi to mpfi double check then triple check it, it doesnt sound fuel related to me i would leave that as a last possibility

 

i didnt use a jumper, my buddy wired it for me
its all done correct

 

bump, help please

 

make sure he wired the two white wires correct there are two white wires that look the same....

 

have you checked the ignitor chip?

 

the wires are connected right, thick white with thick white, thin with thin, i even switched them around to check
and no i havent checked that
wheres it located?

and do any of yall have a picture of the fusebox diagram for the underdash fusebox?

 

its the coil inside the dist. it looks like a small black box the size of a card

 

^that happened to me i droped the gas tank and come to find out it was the coil

 

so replace the dizzy? again?....

 

bump

where is the BARO sensor?
(atmospheric pressure sensor)

i need to replace it to get rid of the code 13

 

Are you sure that every wire is going to the correct place(especially on the dizzy) and did you make good conections with the wires and solder them all?

 

I agree with your friend sounds like you got a bad ground in your ignition circuit. I would get detailed wiring diagram and go through all circuits and test all sensors, do drop voltage test, etc.

 

the map sensor (baro?) is on the fire wall

 

so have you checked that ignition coil? IF and ONLY IF your wiring is as good as you say it is i can definitely see that as a primary suspect...
