I have a 94 Civic with a d15 engine. It seems it is cammed for a d16 engine and now the idol on it is messed up and the fuel efficiency as well as power is fucked. I need to know how swap the cams. Anyone help me would be great.

 

How did you possibly come to the conclusion it has a D16 cam (it only has one) in it? What head is on it?

 

Other problems can also lead to symptoms you are describing.

 

Thats what i was told. On idle, it revs on its own (not sure how high, no rpm gauge). But the dizzy was rebuilt and the timing belt was positioned correctly. Before rebuilding the dizzy, my car sat for about 7-8 months. Its also been siggested that my IACV need to be cleaned/replaced and thatd take care of the idle problem.

 

Prove it.

So why did you not clean it?

So you would rather (as if you could) swap a cam instead of trying something that would cost you nothing but time? And while you're at it clean the FITV as well.

 

Ok man. No need to make me sounds like a complete retard. I dont know much about cars and i am still learning. I came onto here to try and get help/advise, not to get indirectly chastised for not knowing ****.

 

I doubt you have an a6 cam. You're better off trying to do regular preventative maintenance and trouble shoot it instead of spending the time to rip the rockers off put in a different cam and putting it back together. Which probably isn't even your problem.

how did anyone come to the conclusion that your engine had a cam swapped?

 

The way it idles and how much air its pushing out of the exhaust with as small as the pipes are i guess. I really dont know. Like i said, ive just begun learning about cars (hondas in particular) so im not sure what to go off of. Hence me posting on here.

 

Its okay bro my car is retarded too, it had low compression and it was faster than other civics that were in way better shape. I think you should try fixing it before really ******* with it replacing camshafts or springs actually I think thats the other way around..

basically if you have that cam it wont really **** anything up. Theres likely something else stupid that is wrong with it. Do some basic stuff like trouble shooting, minor repairs like cleaning a throttle body (you spray throttle body cleaner on it) or that A.B.C.D.E whatever that you said. Maybe its as easy as spraying spray onto it.

 

i just farted./thread.

 

Holy crap. It's the blind leading the blind.

Someone told you to clean the IACV. Do it.
Someone else told you to clean the FITV. Do it.

 

Listen here Grumble, how about you take your replies to my post and shove them up your ***. Your sound like a stuck up inbred who thinks they know everything about everything and those who dont, you talk down to when youre supposedly trying to give advise. I appreciate those who are trying to give advise to me so thanks. Its kind of difficult to do **** when i dont have the money to do it. Hell, i barely had enough to change the starter a few days ago. So, Grumble, take your **** and throw it elsewhere. Now, unless you can/want to give me step by step directions to clean the IACV (have a rough idea of what/where this is) and the FIFV (which i have no idea what that is), then please do help. Otherwise **** off with your condescending remarks.

 

Tired of this ****. It costs you absolutely NOTHING to clean the IACV or the FITV so instead of asking for people's opinions, on and off the forum, and not listening to a damn one of them, perhaps resonate some understanding and do what people are telling you. That's usually how it works, You ask for help. Someone helps you. You do what they told you to.

Now if you want step-by-step instructions you should take your browser over to the FAQs that you should have read before you even started this post and look for the link that tells you EXACTLY how to do both of those things?

Think you're the only one with FITV or IACV issues? Look in the forum's FAQs. Don't know what FAQ means? Frequently asked Questions. As in noobs like yourself are constantly asking so someone thought that maybe I'll put together this handy resources so that all these questions can be answered in one place so the dumb noobs don't have to clutter up the forums asking this tired sht day after day after day.

Now I'm going to guess that since you registered waaaaaaaay back in September you have YET to read a single link in the FAQs nor do you know where they might be. Here's the link.
https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/faqs-frequently-asked-tech-questions-1998336/

For future reference it's the third link at the top of the forum when you hit the back button on the browser up top there in the gray.

Now since you know absolutely jack **** about the car you're driving and can't afford a manual to tell you what parts are what on your vehicle, perhaps you can again take your browser and look for a Honda Civic Filed Service Manual someone on Google. Hint: It's free if you can find it.

And BTW I was trying to save you the frustration of following the advice of someone that barely knows more than you who's telling you to clean a throttle body which would not have done anything for you.

 

Try searching on google bro. I helped you out this time, they're in the FAQ. But here are links to DIY guides.

Hey man, here's the link for most of the upkeep on your honda. https://honda-tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1998336

It's also in the sticky which is the second link in the that grayed out portion of the screen once you click in "Honda Civic/Del Sol (1992-2000)". It'll be in the Air Intake and Idle Control section. There are some people on here who will offer constructive criticism......

 

Thanks guys. Ill definitely be looking into these links.

Grumble, in case you didnt know, there are ways to not sound like such a condescending dick. Try it some time. I never said i wasnt going to try any of the suggestions on here, which as much as i hate to admit, includes yours. Of course there are going to be "dumb noobs" such as myself that come here, but isnt that sort of the point? To try and learn more from those who arent noobs? Regardless, there is no need to patronize me, or anyone for that matter. You say i know "jack **** about the car im driving," which is true. But thats also the reason i came to this site. This site was recommended by a friend who used to help me with my car before he moved to a different state. Yes my membership started in september, but i had no need to come onto here until recently. As someone has stated, there are some people out there to give constructive criticism. But, there is a difference between constructive criticism and being an outright dick about your what are supposed to be suggestions or helpful hints. Despite you being so condescending, i will be looking into the links youve shared, as well as the others have shared. Keep in mind that instead of being a completely douche lord about all this, there could have been a much easier ways to reply to this thread; especially seeing how youre first reply seemed genuine. The point for this thread was to get help, advise, and/or different possible diagnoses of the problems im having with my car, not to get chastised about what i do and do not know about my car or this site.

 

Sit down, because I'm about to teach you something.

You're new, so you won't know this. There are certain members here who know what they're talking about. When those members decide to spend their time typing something, you should listen to it. Those members generally don't choose to put finger to key unless they are damn sure that they know what they'll type will be correct. Grumble is one of those people. I am one of those people. RonJ is one of those people. NOFX is one of those people. There aren't many of us. We don't post in every damn thread, and when we do post in a thread, we stick around until the problem is solved, or the OP pisses us off.

Every day, another person just like you decides to grace us with their presence, and "just wants another opinion". That's not how it works. Those "other opinions" generally come from the idiots and mouth breathers around here, and are so far off-base that you'll end up wasting a weekend chasing your tail when you could have spent less than 30 minutes doing what you were told in the first place.

H-T is a damn good forum - arguably one of the best, when it comes to anything Honda. We've been around for a long time, and some of us on H-T have been doing this for as long, if not longer. We all have a simple process, and to keep things going smoothly in these forums, we expect others to follow that process. It's extremely simple.

Step 1: Search
Step 2: Read the FAQ sticky
Step 3: Post

When searching, don't bump ancient threads. When posting, follow the very simple rules (also a sticky thread), give us all required and related information, prove to us that you've searched, and prove to us that you've read the FAQ sticky. Describe the problem in detail, and follow and reply to whatever reasonable responses you get. Don't jump straight to the sky falling just because it's raining.

You have decided to skip steps 1 and 2, and not only did you jump straight to step 3, but those are only rain drops on your forehead, not meteors.

You have two options at this point. Option A is to draw back the attitude, stick to our process, and let it work for you. Option B, quite frankly, is to get lost. There are rare few publicly available places that you'll have access to the same wealth of information that you have here, and your attitude won't fly in those places either.

Now either double-check your mechanical and ignition timing, clean and reinstall your IACV and FITV, bleed your coolant, and see if your problem is solved, or find somewhere else to have keyboard diarrhea.

 

/\ i went shorthand, but echo your sentiments.

 

I can tell you guys know what you are talking about, hence why I said I was going to look into everyones suggestion. My only problem with Grumble was, even when I know I really dont know ****, it was thrown into my face like a dirty diaper.

My point; Im taking everyones suggestion and rolling with it. The attitude was misconstrued.
