So here's the deal, 3 months ago I got a tune...car ran great for 3 months. It's a usdm gsr obd1 converted btw. Now ever since it got real cold out its been loosing a lot of power at wot and sputtering a lot. I tried to check the cel but I can't figure out how to do it with obd1 no matter what I try. So I thought maybe its tps. So I changed the tps and changed the tb gasket while I had it off. Now the car won't hold an idle unless you give it gas and its sputtering and backfiring like crazy when doing so. My spark plugs are black too. I took it to a shop they looked at it and said I gas in my oil because the motor flooded. They said its either the tune, the ecu, or the distributer. I'm using an ls dizzy which only allows it to have one bolt holding it in. I didn't think it was a problem and it worked fine for 3 months but the shop said it could be that. Think my ecu is fried? I'm trying to get my tuner to see if he could either retune this or get me another ecu if mines bad. Idk what else to do.

 

get the correct distributer a stop doing hack jobs like using the incorrect distributer, held down with one bolt. Also "tuned" on what EMS I'm guessing this tune is just a basemap chip vs 400$ worth of dyno/your tuner time.

 

It's all I can afford at the moment bro. And it's not a base map tune.

 

I understand but now it's coming back to bite you save/wait it's better in the long run. Either way YOU NEED to get the correct distributer I didn't even know ls ones worked on a gsr.

 

Bump

I know I never intended to have it on for this long but a gsr dizzy is next on the list to buy.

 

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-Complete-...5f234b&vxp=mtr I had one like this lol I never thought I'd buy a knock off part buy hey I NEEDED it fast an didn't want to try my luck with a used one. Going with the Hondata coil on plug retrofit so I won't have to deal with those damn things anymore lol Honda kind failed on the distributer imo.

 

Is that one lasting for you? That price is a hell of a lot better than anything that I've found new.

 

DISTRIBUTOR

 

yah has stood up to a years worth of driving only thing I recommend is you buy a OEM Honda rotor+screw the cheap-o one broke on me while I was driving.

 

stfu crazyhorse and get out of this section.

 

BUMP

Still haven't figured it out!
