HELP PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF A HONDA! Btw its a 1993 Integra Ls

 

is this the stock engine,replacement engine , swap, or built . please specify

 

if you got a CEL, its obvious you have to check them especially after a swap where so many variable have changed.

 

did u swap ecu's?

Check the CEL

It might slightly help us if you tell us what engine and ecu you are running as well.

 

set your ignition timing, cam timing, adjust the valves, all sensors plugged in, and tell us the cel code.

 

What about the vacuum lines they all atached and in the right places?

 

i thikn im missing my no2 control box? its a 18a1 and its all stock from ground up

 

Don't even worry about posting here if you aren't going to listen to the advice given. Checking your CEL takes two seconds to do, and has zero negative effects. It is a very good way of diagnosing an engine problem.

 

True True i am listening by the way... It just frustrated the hell out of me on top of that i can only post 5 a day o well off to check the CEL see what this thing shows....btw how do i become a normal member? its tuff trying to get advicewhen u cant even respond?

 

I forgot to plug in my crank angle sensor when I did my swap. It didn't like that to much. Thats the sensor that wraps around the crank pulley. I think it idled at 30000 rpms for a minute.
