I bought my 98 civic off a guy awhile ago. Basically i dont think it has the stock injectors on it because it blows black smoke all over my rear bumper also my car is very very Boggy. Any suggestions?

 

List the mods to the car.
Take pics.

 

ok,
Cold air intake
Headers
Exhaust
Thats all that i know of https://post.craigslist.org/manage/3067287584/ibjjz there are images there
ALSO, the car has weird idles and feels like it has no power.

 

We need pics of the injectors. Do you have a camera on your phone?
YOu might want to check timing while you're at it.

I hope you didn't pay $5k for it.

 

no no i put it on for 5k see what kind of offers i could get and yeah i have a camera but idk how to get the pics from my phone on here.

 

Upload to Photobucket. They have an app.

 

CEL codes?

 

@RonJ no the cel is not on.

 

Does the CEL work?

 

Well in the 6 months ive had the car it hasnt came on..

 

A previous owner may have removed the CEL bulb.

When the key is turned from off to ON(II), the CEL should turn on and then off after 2 seconds, if no codes are thrown.

 

Hmm ill check that out in the morning very interesting because i dont think i have seen it yet but of course i havent payed attention to that, what if it is disabled?

 

If the CEL bulb is burned out or removed, install a new one.

This way, you will be alerted to any problems sensed by the ECU.

I suspect that at least one CEL code is currently thrown but the CEL bulb has been removed.

In the meantime, you can have AutoZone hook up a code reader to retrieve the codes. Jot them down and then reset the ECU to see which ones repeat.

 

Alright i will check back in the morning thanks.

 

Alright so this morning, i went out to start my car, i went from off to on (II) and the oil and battery lights both came on but the CEL did not come on. If it did it was very very dim to the point where i couldnt tell if it was on or i was just seeing the spot where it should be on but i dont think it was on.

Thats a pic of the injectors

 

Remove the cluster to see whether the CEL bulb is missing or blown.

 

If i do that wont i have to take off the bezzel and all the dash things.?

 

No, just the bezel and the cluster. It's pretty simple and straight forward, and there are only about a hundred how-tos out there if you search.

$5000 for that, though? Uh...good luck? Only way that's gonna happen is if you find some fool.

 

My ideals of going into selling the car were i will overprice it, so if no one wants to give me what i want for it i will keep it.

 

Take your time and you won't break anything.

 

Why does your pic make it so simple haha ill try.

 

Because it is.

 

Yeah i got it out and it seems to me like there is no bulb in there at all for the cel here you guys can take a look
