Hey guys i recently swapped a jdm b18c into my 95 teg. TOday i went to fire her up and she was idling really rough and would barely stay running. I pulled it back in and found that my timing was ok and that it wasnt throwing any codes at me. I have checked and double checked all wiring and it is correct. Fuel system is a ok. I have just replaced the cap AND rotor with oem parts. What is my problem? Any ideas. coil is also fine i ran a voltemeter to it. Any ideas at all im desperate!!!

 

What ECU are you running?

 

Im running the stock GSR ECU that came w/ my swap p72 i believe not quite sure...

 

OBD I bump plz help bump

 

bump

 

how is cam timing?

 

cam timing is perfect it just wont start

 

vacume leak if it idles rough maybe? check the fuel filter and make sure its not cloged.. umm, do u hear it wanting to crank over but it doesnt?

 

check your alternator, it might be the ELD ( electronic load detector ) that is the same problem that i had when i swapped my gs-r in my car

 

I seen a swap that had the Air Temp Sensor plug and the IAC valve plug swapped causing it to run very bad. The ECU was seeing 350 degrees and the IAC wasn't acting upor tripping a codes. Try swapping the 2 plugs.

 

did that.... I'm not getting spark so i think my coil is bad. goin to get a new 1 right now.

 

Also try the ignition module.

 

I just replaced my coil and now it starts but it runs like ****. I checked my timing twice made sure it was @ tdc and everything checked out. It wont run above 3k rpm and idles like **** . what the **** is wrong w/ my car

 

wrong ignition sequense...

double check it...

 

how... manual says nothing about it...

 

what year engine? Is it a B18C out of a Type R?

for making an open poll

for the people that add retarded choices to the poll

wait, how do you know that the timing is perfect when you can't start the car, just because the cams are at TDC before you start it does not mean that they are going to stay that way with ignition.. did you ever adjust your idle? surely you have but better to ask than assume

...how'd they know i cry when i **********

 

make sure you've got the right firing order seeing as how you just changed your cap and rotor. 1-3-4-2

 

comp. test or leak down test results?

 

if its almost stalling when its idol its probably wrong fire sequince...if not that, god hope its a bad spark plug if not that hope its a vacum leak, and not low compression.
as for the pole....wtf is this garbabe???admins please get rid of this bull crap!!!!

 

I had a similar experience and what I did was redo my timing and reset ecu.
