Default H22a Problem

Please help me, I swap a h22a into a 92 Accord, and everything was done! The car runs weird, when I didn't put in the gear, I can rev up to 8,000rpm. But when I try to drive it, (put in 1st gear) the car can only drive 5-10mph (The rpm won't pass 2k, if I step on the gas, it just like nothing, won't move or anything.). 2nd gear the same, won't pass 5-10mph. The only way I can rev the rpm over 2,000 while sitting in gear is press down the clutch. Once I release the clutch, the car will not run again.... until it drop below 10mph. Please help me... what is my problem!!

are you sure you have the clutch and pressure plate on right?...sounds to me like a mechanical problem if you can rev out of gear but not in gear...

That is your EGR Valve.

EGR is only emission related alot of the guys outside of Cali take them off and and put a block plate over it all it will do is throw a EGR code.

maybe check your fast idle valve...


sometimes when motors sit, they build up junk and solid mass.. needs to be replaced or cleaned


just a thought??

i took my POS EGR out..



btw.. recently I was having idle problems also.. and it was the fast idle valve. it's the black looking cylinder right behind the intake manifold with coolant hoses connected to it. I had to soak it in carbon cleaner and after it was cleaned and dried up.. my car idled fine with a little fine tune of the idle screw.

Oh man .... the problem came back!! I remove the egr valve, and wash it real clean ... put it back in! The car run fine. After 5 miles on the country, I try to run on high speed .. the motor just ....tooooooooooooom....rpm drop, speed drop ! just like the previous problem. until I have to unplug the EGR sensor harness ... and drive it home with the engine check light on.

shouldnt be egr valve if you want to check it unplug the vacuum hose that goes into the egr valve and see if it makes a difference, also check the code on the ecu that will tell you the problem...
