Default B16 sputter at low RPM.

I have a first gen B16 in my CRX and I have pretty much all the bolt ons. I/H/E, cam gears, MSD 6AL, Skunk2 cam gears, FPR, I think that pretty much it. But at any RPM below 3K it sputters. At idle I just tap the gas and it acts like it wants to die out. Thats about the best I can explain it, Im sure theres a million things it could be but Im stumped. I did new wires, plugs and dist. cap and rotor when I did the motor not to long ago so I think I can rule out anything with that.

Any ideas?

I think my fuel pressure is set at about 46 or 48. Cant really remember. The guy set it with a gauge on it then took the gauge off. So not to sure on that.

Thanks for any kind of help.

Matt

Are you running it ODB0, if you are tell me you ARE still using BOTH O2 sensors and they are not wired in Backwards.

Yes and No. I am OBD0 and Im not using both o2s. I cant cuz I have a DC Sports one piece 4-2-1 and it only has one o2 bung at the collector. I was told when I first did the swap that the PR3 ECU needs both o2s to run good but I didnt want to cut into my header and weld the two o2 bungs in.

So you think thats it?

i had the same sputter, but it was below 2k rpm... it was traced to hole in the intake and low oil

I think that is the problem precisely. you need BOTH O2 sensors
