need help!!!! - cylinders flooding
Ok, i got a 1996 honda civic lx, I bought a 1999 ls with a garret turbo kit and i also had a b16 head. So i took it to a shop and they did the swap for me,
The motor came with 450 injectors and i got me friend to do chrome map on a p28 for my setup since i swap the head from ls to b16....
Well after fixing a little issue with the icva everything was working . Then my friend did a street tune for me and the car felt really strong , On our way back the car did a clicking noise inside the cabin and then shut off , I try to re-start the car and it didnt, after the second try it did start and it was fine ....
Couple days after that i took a 2 hour trip and the car was just fine until out of the blue the car just shut off again at a stop light i and a really strong smell like gas start, 5 minutes later i got to my destination, I park the car thinking maybe was the spark plugs so i went in my brothers car and got spark plugs put then in my car.The car start up but it was running really crappy. i had no choice but drive back , at low rpms was crappy but after 4k rpms it was ok....
Then when i got back to my house i check and the car its flooding the cylinder, I realize the 12v getting to the ignition switch was really weak so i ran a 4 gauge wire from the battery to the ignition switch , I also got a new p28 , I replace injectors to a 650 rc with fuel rail and fuel regulator, new ignition cap and rotor, brand new oem honda spark plug wiring for b16, ....
Now the car works on cylinders 1 and 4 ... I test compression and it got 180 psi + on all 4 cylinder ... now the car start but it runs like $H!!!T and if i take spark plug wires 2 and 3 it dont affect at all the engine but it does if i do the same to 1an 4 ...
i took to 2 different shops and they cant figure it out ..... i need help pls

PLEASE check your grammar ! it's hard to tell what's going on here. so what im getting is your car is flooding the cyl's with fuel thus making it run like crap ?. 2nd the ign my be going out if it just "shut off" has it done it since.

I couldn't understand what you wrote and stopped reading after "I got to my destiny".

Please go back and re-edit your entry to make some form of sense. Also next time make a thread title that has some information in it.

So you upgraded the injectors by 200cc and did NOT get tuned/mapped for the increased fuel? If that is the case that would explain the flooding.
Advice? Stop running on basemaps and get it tuned with a real EMS. CROME may work but it is long outdated and isn't being developed any longer as far as I know.

Get your car done right.. none of these fly by night honda tuners who just enter random numbers on a computer chip.
Tuning includes a trip to the dyno shop and the car is tuned in a real time environment with the car running through the gears.

OP clearly does not understand what you guys are saying or does not want to go get it tuned properly. There is no magic fix other than a good dyno tune.
