I just got all my wiring finished and everything hooked up right in my 88 CRX as well as no longer throwing any codes since the swap (D16Y8 w/P28). I'm dying to get her out on the road to tear it up however the car's idle drops to about 400 rpm's when warm and then when i go to rev it good and hard there is hesitation for a split second before the tach shoots up. I just replaced the High Idle Control Valve with the swap, and i had my Idle Air Control Valve checked out by a honda mechanic who said it is ok. Once the engine gets past the initial 1/2 second hesitation it's smooth sailing. Anyone have/had this problem??? Thanks

 

I am having the same problem, I floor it and it dosnt move then all of a sudden it takes off. My Vtec dosnt work either. Ecu is also a p28, the guy I bought the car from said it has a 94 si ecu, injectors, dist. Obd 2 to Obd 1??. No check engine light. I am lost also!!????

you've got a p28 as well but what engine do you have? It's really pissing me off cause everything is hooked up right and it should work! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!

 

Same as you. y8. I didnt do the swap so I am trying to work out the bugs.
I got a EG/CX.

 

i just did the timing on my car, i picked up a timing gun on the way home from work for like $35 at pep boys. It was a great investment considering my car needed to be advanced a whole lot. Now my idle is at around 600 which is still kind of low...and i think i can hear maybe .1 second hesitation but hey it's a lot better than it was.

I set the timing to the stock settings for my Y8 but i have heard of people advancing them for better horsepower...is this a good idea? any info would be great, THANKS!

 

1) Adjust Idle

2) Sounds like fuel filter... could be spark plugs... in other words... a TUNE-UP is in order. Also check timing...

 

If Vtec is not wired up right will that be the problem? I will check my plugs and filters. Thats simple. Thanks for the info.
