I recently got a another civic

93 Honda Civic Hatchback
It has a JDM D15B in it, thing is, the check engine light is on.
So I watched a video on YouTube on how to read the codes seeing that it's Obd1. Pretty easy. The thing is I can't really tell if it's code 14 or 24 ?
Paper work on the motor states it is a JDM 1.5L D15B SOHC VTEC-E

Another thing is, I went to Advance Auto to try and get new spark plugs and wires and they can't seem to tell me the correct ones I need because my hatch is a DX model but has a different motor in it that what's shows in there system for my year make and model. When I go to AdvanceAuto website, and select my car, the last option shows D15B7. Do they use the same spark plugs as the JDM??

Three codes: 1, 10, and 14

I would speculate that the engine uses the same spark plugs as the Civic VX/D15Z1.

What spark plugs are currently installed?

 

I honestly don't know what are installed right now. I just got the car last week. I'm doing a tune up tomorrow hopefully. I guess I could take one out and see if I can any markings on them.

 

 

So the things that need to be replaced are
Code1 Heated oxygen sensor A
Code10 Intake air temperature sensor
Code14 Idle air control valve

 

Codes don't necessarily identify the problem. They give you a hint.

 

Well I know the guy I bought it from said when you first start it up it idles wierd.
And then after about 30seconds, it idles fine.

 

So can I just use the civic vx model selection for the parts for my d15b?

 

What ECU?

 

What ecu? and on the cam sprocket cover there should be some labelling that identifies what spark plugs to use.

 

 

I'm guessing that's the white cover on the right side of the motor? If so. I don't see any labeling. Looks like they've been peeled off.

This motor was pulled out of another vehicle and put in my hatch.
On the valve cover, someone wrote in a marker the words "z-1 model" but on the block it says D15B

 

I guess what they're saying is its a replacement for the d15z1 engine. So you would go get spark plugs for a VX model I guess.

 

Chipped P06?

 

I don't know ?

 

So all my parts should be for a VX model?
I just don't want to buy the wrong parts.

 

I know I did a cross-reference for my 3 stage vtec d15b's timing belt and it matched the VX.

 

If the P06 is not chipped, it's the wrong ECU for the engine.

 

Yeah. I have the wrong ecu.
I should have a p28. I took it to Firestone today and that's what I was told by the guy working there.

I found a P28. Going to get it tomorrow morning.

 

So I'm guessing everytime I need a part, just use my reference as 93 Honda Civic VX?
Because I'm about to go to Walmart and get oil & a filter, and making I'll use the VX option to chose my filter.

 

A P28 is not the right ECU either for a VTEC-E engine.

 

What would be the correct ECU?

 

 

There's your answer..

 

P08 or P28 chipped with a P08 basemap
