ok well i was driving this morning and i stopped at a gas station to get a soda, when i came out my car did not start. now i have a few other threads for mnultiple problems with this car. it has a dpfi to mpfi swap and the wiring is ****ed up. it is throwing codes 20/19 and it throws 10 every couple of times, the car was running but missing and im almost home, but it starts, but when you apply gas, like nothing it just sounds likt there is a loping cam in it..

can anyone help please like asap

 

and btw i just looked the load detector wire is cut right after the plug, but it has been since i got the car...

 

well got it home, guess i will go form here. i am not quite understanding this, i have done what the mpfi conversion said to do but the car is running like shiieetttt

 

No way to tell what's wrong other than the obvious which you already stated.
Fix your wiring.

 

yeah im talking to someone local who builds harnesses from scratch. having him look at it tomaro

 

I'm almost sure its the rear view mirror
Just kick it clear through the windshield
And I bet it'll start right up like viagra does to a snoozin ol man

 

LMAO... i duno man who ever did this conversion is a dam idiot, i mean i dont know if they did all this because they used a PM7 ECU but jesus like its a xmas tree of wires..

does anyone know do you HAVE to use a SI distributor for the mpfi swap??

 

YES. Or one from an HF.

Sensors in the DPFI distributor are only capable of running 2 fuel injectors.

 

hmm well maybe that is my problem, i am new to the honda game and i do not know how to tell which one i have. like i said i know i have all the wires hooked up, i went over it at least 3 times. but the dis was alrede in there from previous owner swap.

can you plleeasee tell me how to identify which dis i have?

 

Look on the ear of the distributor, one of them will be stamped with td-01 (DPFI Distributor) or TD-02 (MPFI Distributor this is the one you need). That's saying the car still has a D series in it, and is OBD-0

Code 19 = Auto Tranny Lock up Solenoid, which will throw when you have an auto ECU hooked up to a 5 speed car.
Code 20 = ELD which is the plug you said is cut.

 

mine is stamped this-

td-18u
9x18

so which distributor do i have??

 

well i am getting differnt readings when googling the TD-18u number

i guess i have the right one for the dpfi to mpfi swap

 

ok so can someone please explain. i bought this hatch with a dpfi to mpfi conversion, has a TD-18u distributor, has a PM7 ECU which is a dohc ZC JDM ecu. the car will run on the PM7 ecu, i put a PM5 and the car will not start..im so loossstt

 

Don't put in a pm5 its for 2 fuel injectors, also its for high impedance injectors.
If you don't know what your doing stop!!!! Read until you know what your doing.

 

im assuming you are obd1 dseries? if so just run a p28

 

also i believe you need the distributor off a 92-95 civic DX and if you dont already have them, get a distributor, and ecu jumper from rywire..also did you use the 4 wire o2 sensor, just something to think about..

 

obdo has one wire o2, obd1 has 4 wire.

 

sorry for so many posts, but your distributor is obdo 88-91 honda civic 1.6 distributor..just so you know.. so its prob the d16a6 distributor is my guess, hope i helped.

 

Yes, i ended up figuring out what dis i had. I am OBDO running on a PM7 jdm zc ecu. It was in the
Car when i bought it. All that is done it is a dx ef hatch. They attempted a mpfi swap and messed it up

 

never seen a distributor abbreviated to "dis". Say dizzy next time.

 

my bad, I have not seen a post anywhere stating what abriveations to use for which things...........

 

so can anyone explain how my car is running off of a Pm7?? its JDM ECU, its for a DOHC which my motor is not a jdm swap, nor is mine dohc

 

The ECU doesn't care how many cams you have.

 

oh, ok i was told that the jdm dohc zc motor uses a second cam sensor, so running that ecu on a songle cam would cause it to run like **** woudl it then??

 

The distributor is different on a dohc zc because it has the cam sensor not in the dizzy (dis) but the ecu reads it all the same as it would a d16a6 si. The pm7 is close enough to the pm6 may just run a lil rich(and have a higher redline) but way better than running a pm5 (which is missing that cam sensor and 2 injectors). I ran my dohc zc off a pm6 and it ran lean (for smog) and did better on gas till I could pick up a PG7(pm7).
