Ok I bought this car with the swap already done...i know but they did a decent job and man it ran hella good when i bought it too.

Well now my wife was driving down highway and lost all power.....

after a week of trying to figure out what distributor to get we finally got the right one and the right fit ODB0....

well now that I have the new dizzy n....it ran like **** big time...NO POWER at all.

I replaced fuel filter and the plugs were shot so i put new Bosch Plat 4 today and its finally starting but NO POWER at all...when i hit the gas it just wants to die...i might be able to hit 3k once or twice but then it gets worse and almost dies.....help me please.... I unplugged the map sensor and thats not the problem....my buddy thinks its the TPS....any help would be great...

Thanks in advance

Jay

 

Are your plug wires in the correct order?

 

yea i checked that last night

im very confused

 

Did you actually set the ignition timing? You can't just slap a distributor on there and call it good, especially on an EFI engine.

Also, throw those Boschs in the trash, they are garbage.

 

Any ECU codes?
Am I reading it right that you are OBD0? (just checking)

 

Yea I installed an OBD0 distributor

 

Ouch i just bought those dang things...and im on unemployed freelance income lol...

But please explain the ignition timing cause i did not do that and would that cause the "No Power" at all problem?

 

what ecu are u using?

 

Im very new at this...how do i tell what ECU im using?

 

on the side there is a label like:

 

Got that part, but your distributor needs to match your ECU so we need to know what exactly you have.
Please provide which ECU you have as well as the numbers on your distributor (vtec and non vtec distributors are different internally)

 

OK np thanks for your help...my car is still down and the wife needs it back lol....sucks bumming rides and not being able to take your daughters where they need to go.


Ill snap some pics too.

 

Ok here we go.

 

and the new distributor

 

And that really doesn't help at all.
Need the actual stamp number on the distributor and the barcode number on the ECU.

looks like a JDM pr3-JOO

 

my distributor is

TD-22U


I really hopes this helps

 

Heres the ECU code

 

theres a difference between a vtec dizzy and a non-vtec dizzy yo

 

^^ trying to find out what distributor he has!

I doubt that D11 translates to TD-11.
TD-11 is from an Acura Vigor and I highly doubt that's the distributor you have on there.

Take the distributor off the head and look around on it for a different number.

 

Its a:

TD-22u

 

Ah - got the edit. cool!
You got the right stuff!

Seemed like a hassle and a waste of time, but if the distributor didn't match the eCU it would have been an instant fix.

 

No im good with double checking....but any clue what is wrong with my car....it ran hella good before the distributor went out...now im stuck with a car that starts but no power at all.

 

No, I dont =/
Never had a problem that was the REAL limp mode. Usually I get CEL light and codes that tell what the problem could be.
I am not even convinced your distributor was the problem. You replaced it's not fixed.
Almost sounds like the timing belt hopped a tooth.


Probably a good place to start.

 

When we took the distributor out it wouldnt spin and when we got it to spin some plastic pieces came out and just went from there.

Just pulling at straws but could it be the injectors? and is there a way to clean them your self?
