Do a compression test and see what each cylinder yields...

In each cylinder you need spark, fuel, and compression. If you know you have spark, then it's either fuel or compression. On those two cylinders where it makes no difference if you have the injectors plugged in or not, if you have compression then you know it's fuel related (and vice versa).

you need air also lol

I would switch the 2 injectors with the other 2 cylinders

if the problem goes along, you know you need new injectors, or send them in to be cleaned and refreshed

I'm assuming you have the right distributor.

Did you verify firing order?

google image search: honda firing order

Ditch the ecu and get a stock p28... Got a d16a6/y8 mini me in my hatch and the p28 runs it like a charm no issues..

I was pretty sure the Y8 and Z6 cam gears are not identical in terms of timing, why not use the Z6 gear

dont listen to this guy



all 88-00 civic/crx/delsol singlecam gears are the same diameter and size

ONLY differences is cosmetic, and the alignment of the cam key.

The cam key changes with the cam its factory paired up with of course.


always match the cam gear to the camshaft in vtec motors. if doing minimes, that is the only time on a honda singlecam that you have the option of going to another factory cam gear to solve timing issues, or you can get a fancy looking adjustable cam gear and dial in teh difference as necessary

the internet is full of information on this and can back my statement up.

Id search, but my internet is being a slow POS at the moment, hell it took 4-5 minutes for this page to load

100% correct, match the camgear to the camshaft! With the amount of swaps and odd crazy things people do, people often do not think about properly matching these things.

Should you need the proper cam gear shoot me an email
