I changed my headgaket and now the car is on safe mode... i dont know what i could of done wrong! So can someone help me out here... Car was fine now on safe mode.

 

What code?

 

I haven't checked the code but it doesn't pass 3000 so I know it's on safe mode and i dont think it will let me get it since its in safe mode.

 

Is the check engine light on? If yes, what is the code?????? I or anyone else on here is not going to be able to help you until you can answer these few questions.

 

Ok on p28 I got
#16
#19
#22
#41

on my kenji ecu
#22

I got a misfire on cylinder 2. The spark is realy low and it's not the spark plug cause I swapped it with cylinder 3 and it's still misfiring on cylinder 2. Dizzy is new!

 

16 Fuel injectors
19 Automatic transmission lockup control valve
22 VTEC pressure valve
41 Primary oxygen sensor heater

 

Yea and code 16 puts my car in limp mode. And I have a cylinder misfire but no code for it! Cylinder 2! It doesn't bog when I pullout the wire. And it's not the spark plug.

Now why is it misfiring when u have spark even though it looks small? And why a code for my injectors?

 

Double check your timing and make sure its on TDC. If you have a timing gun then make sure its at stock 16 degrees. Code 19 im assuming you're using an automatic ecu which it would throw a CEL since your car is a manual. I would check your wires again just incase some got pulled which could cause it to come loose or make sure theyre snug tight. If everything was fine before you tore it down to change the headgasket then something went wrong during the process of tearing down.

 

Injector or injector plugs?

 

Ok I checked the timing and everything was fine...
It's notthe best pic and the angle of the photo is off but that's tdc and it's aligned with cams striaght up


here are the cams straight up. U can see the little arrows

 

what am I supposed to look for cause that code only comes out on the p28. On the kenji it doesn't. Injectors are new RC's only 2xxx on them and the plugs look fine.

 

Im assuming the kenji ecu....whatever that is, has the injector test circuit disabled that's why. Test continuity/power/ohms to each injector from the ecu.

 

Will do. Now why is my spark very low on my spark plug wire and has all symptoms of misfire but doesn't throw a code.

 

timing is off the ignition timing

 

You can test the resistance in each wire as well. Try a different dizzy?

 

So your saying the dizzy if off? Can I just move it to see if that works.

 

yes use a timing gun while your doing this

 

Ok turns out the injector clip was messed up so I changed it and everything is fine but since I did an lsvtec swap on my nonvtec harness I wired up vtec straight to the ecu and i can't get vtec to kick in. I'm using a p28 and getting code 22 for the pressure switch. I don't have a knock sensor on my block but Ive never got a code for the just for the pressure switch. Why isn't it working. Oil level is fine.

 

The solenoid has two wires one to the ecu and one is grounded on the chassis. The pressure switch only has one and it's connected to the ecu. I connected them like the forums said to do for obd1. I had them connected on the obs2 harness but my friends said to connect it to the conversion harness for obd1

 

Still no vtec? :/

 

What pin?
