k so a lot of things are going bad with my car. idk if there all connected or what but if someone could help it'd be greatly apperciated. so i realized it didnt feel like vtec was kicking in so i thought well maybe its the solienoid so i reaplaced that and the pressure switch.. didnt work so replaced it again. still didnt work well then i figued out my cluster didnt have a cel bulb in it so i put one in and it was throwing a code 22. well bout two days l8tr i checked the code again and it was throwing a code 3. well i replaced the map sensor hopeing the code would go away but it didnt. then a lil while after that from now on whenever i start my car in has no idle power like it wants to die. then after bout 10 seconds u can hear the intake kick in and it starts idleing fine but i dont think its cause of the intake. so idk and suggestions. also my car tacks out at 5500 and somtime 6000 rpms. and backfires every once in a while. sorry forgot. car is a 1995 honda civic ex wiht a d16z6

sorry, and thx but can someone please help?

 

have you mess with the timing check your timing bro

 

Remove the MAP sensor on the throttle body and clean it. Also make sure the seal is not leaking.

 

ok i can clean the map senosr but i mean its a brand new one from autozone not even a week old, and the timing belt was replaced about 2 months ago but ill look into it, cant i tur the distributor or something? but the prombel is by the time i start my car, and get out of it the idling problem stops. it only does it for about 10 seconds. i dont understand.

 

if this happen after they replaced the timing then it could be the problem i had the same problem cuz i didnt put my timing belt right so check it out it could be some other stuff too but be patient

 

no i replaced the timeing, clutch and waterpump when i did the motor swap bout 3 months ago havent had a problem till now so idk, but im thinking about replacing the head and see what that does but idk

 

oh ok well just checked just in case

 

k timing was good, still stumped ha. could maybe i not have enough oil pressure for the vtec to engage? well the way i see it is that its the map sensor becasue vtec wont work if thats throwing a code right? and i replaced the sensor and as far as i no the wires are good. cars are so entertaining.

 

k update. i put vtec on a toggle seitch. so i got that for the mean time but yesterday i realized it smells like im burning oil, if i was could that explain vtec nit enabling without switch?

 

Check your oil pressure.
