drove my car around today for the first time with the b18 swap and the check engine light came on and the ecu flashes 4 blinks

 

google ECU codes for da B18 and Im sure u will find what ur lookin for!

 

now the car shut off after a hard startout in 1st gear and shut off now and wont start. blinks one solid light then blinks 3 and 6 as well. whats going on?

I got the car to run around the neighborhood today but the check engine light was on. It was sending a code 4 on the ecu. then I tried to get the car to burnout in first gear, the car stalled and died and now refuses to start. every time I check the ecu it changes the codes from before. first it was just code 4. then 1,3,5,6 now its 1,8,9 or whatever and still wont start

 

look at the most common codes. your distributor. i would start there.

 

what should I try for the dizzy? and what would cause the car to do this

 

Put a new dizzy on it and that should fix it. about 75% of your codes are Dizzy related.

 

wiring would be my guess. your having electrical problems. i doubt that all those sensors would go bad at the same time.

 

Didnt have any "electrical" problems when I first started the car or ever. almost all the engine harness wiring is stock so I dont know how it could be wrong

 

just tried a different distibutor. no difference except ecu now shows code 3 and 6

 

well, majority of your ECU codes are distributor related. im not saying you did it wrong, but check to make sure the wiring is still good.

this is one of the MAIN reasons i use all brand new wiring and terminals. i dont like to trust 20yr old wires.

 

Im not questioning you Im trying to figure out the problem too. what could have changed between when the car first fired up until when it stalled out and refused to start? how do I know if its the distributor wiring also

 

Did you have to do an MPFI swap on the car for the b18? or is it already an HF/SI? if you had to do an MPFI swap, my money is on you messed up the distributor wiring or some of your work came loose..

 

I just dont know how stalling the car out would cause wiring to fail. I followed a how to mpfi here on ht and used shielded wire for the dizzy wiring. all I can think of that could possibly be wrong is when I connected two pieces of shielded I think I accidentally covered the unshielded inner wire with the shielding, before insulating that inner wire. but like I said nothing except a cel and code 4 was wrong until the car stalled out

 

your dizzy is bad happend on my ef with a b18 in it swap the dizzy you should be fine

 

already tried a different distributor

 

ok when you did the mpfi swap did you repin the ckp sensor

 

what? all I know is you had to switch the outer wires on the tps

 

no you had to wire in the cyp and ckp and extend iat and switch the tps i have a wire up on how to do it

 

can anyone else confirm this?
would that be why I started out with only a code 4

 

yeah, you definitely have to wire in CYP and CKP.. otherwise your distributor will be missing 2 important wires your ECU is looking for. and it will throw a code..

 

are those the two wires (blue/green and blue/yellow) that you wire to the ecu? if so I wired those. heres the writeup I used to wire the mpfi

that one sucks to use he didn do it right i belive that the ckp is b15 and b16 and cyp d somethimng for a p28 im not sure what ecu ur running but those are the 2 that you must wire in or it wont run right

 

Im obd0 so I dont even think there is a ckp sensor?

 

its the blue/yellow and blue/ green
