i have a 1994 honda civic with a d16y8 and a t3t4 turbo and it has a 5 speed runs and drives but runs reall shitty at low rpms and idles really rough and wants to die and some time does will not stay running at a redlight please help ive already took off the iacv and clean it and put new hose on it one of them were cracked can take videos or pics if needed

 

CELs, ecu, tuned?

 

Need info.

Whats it tuned on?
Does it have a wideband?


we need alot more info

 

i just traded my bagged s10 for this car like 3 days ago not reall sure about the cel or if its tuned or even to see what kinda ecu it is tell me wat u info u guys need and in the mornin i will go out to the car and get every detail

 

You need a helms manual (Haynes to start) before we can really get into this.. this will get really LONG..

 

thats fine i will look for one or get one tomrrow i just need to know wat info i need to give u guys so i can start narrowing down and fix the problem

 

Too many variables, my friend. you need a troubleshooting chart to even remotely begin.





that kind of thing.

 

i will take a pic tomrrow and a video because on the side of the engine bay were the belts and **** are and on the hood theres oil splatter still tryin to figure out were thats coming from but is that chart from a haynes manual

 

You need to know exactly what was done to the vehicle inside and out. Video and pics will help a little but not much.

 

yes. an example of how you need to go about troubleshooting. IF its a lot, time to take it to a professional mechanic, turbo or not.

 

im about to take pics because im pretty sure internally he said nothing was done with with it but theres 400 or 450cc injectors if that sounds right and a skunk intake .......some kinda diffrent distribitor that ive never seen and there were some loose wires like goin to the e fan so i cleaned them all up well most of them and thats when i found the oil

 

Before the trade you didn't go though the vehicle to find any issues?

 

well kinda but the exhuast was off amd he told me it needed tuned because the engine had just been built but like i said i didnt know not having it tune would make it idle funny

 

not having it tuned will make it almost completely un-driveable, and can and often will damage and/or destroy the engine if you attempt to drive it. you'll need to park the car immediately and find a Honda tuner in your area and talk to him about how to go about everything

 

Earlier you said you didn't know if it was tuned and right here you're saying you know it's not.

Organize your info and come back. Or better yet, trade the guy back for your S10. Fixing someone else's issues isn't worth the hassle or investment.

 

Take a lot of pics of everything, that way we can help tell you what kind of parts and such are on the car, then we can start with the trouble shooting.

You need a helms manual or you can download an OEM service manual as a torrent...

I want a bagged mini truck so bad, or a clean c/k1500, or a dually

 

And I agree, if this car is a total piece of **** then get your s10 back... it almost sounds like he was trying to unload this car because he knew it was a piece of **** that was just hastily slapped together and he had no idea what he was doing and got in over his head, I'm willing to bet your s10 that the entire turbo system is ebay parts

 

Sounds like your dealing with a time bomb until it's properly tuned.

 

well i havent been driving the car since i got it just goin out and fidling with stuff .....well i said i dont know if it needs to be tuned because idk anything about these cars and thats only what the guy said..... theres a guy in a place called connersville indiana about 20 mins from me and i was goin check him out but idk ive been lookin were to download the oem hayne manaul cant find it.....
but i just want to kno should i go check the ecu and write the numbers down and tell you guys them would that help?

 

could anybody tell me the closet place to get it tuned im i like 25 mins in indiana from the ohio border line

and hoe do i add pics on here?

 

also the d16y8 is the worst motor honda ever made... They are notorious for spinning bearings due to a sub-par oiling system... the crank only has one oiling hole for each bearing journal as opposed to two on every other honda motor.. The oil pumps also randomly fail for no reason

so tuned or not, a boosted y8 is a ticking time bomb regardless due to the oiling problems... mine was bone stock, well maintained, and the oil pump failed cruising down the highway, spun every bearing and even spun the cam in the head...

This guy was trying to unload a problem onto someone else. I seriously suggest you get your s10 back before you start dumping endless amounts of money into this shitbox to get it running right (if you even can, at all)

This guy took you for a ride

 

well after doin some listning to you guys i got the keys to the truck back and im goin to get the truck tomrrow
by the way if u guys tell me how to upload pics i will of the car nd turck

 

Just google how to add photos...don't feel like explaining it

 

Does it have an exhaust?
Is it dyno tuned
What are the afr when it dies
