i just got my b16 in my 1990 civic 4 door sedan
engine sitting well
did not need passport motor mounts- customized it myself but have serious problem- engine doesn't fire to spark plugs or distributor cap
can I use my stock computer DX?
car turns over but will not fully start
need advice in the next 24 hours- how can I start the engine?
V-tech silinoid is connected to stock computer
**** this bullshit, what's wrong?
ordered 249 dollar distributor cap- gets put on at 800 AM
88-91 i hope the distributor is the problem the guys dont really know what to do axles are in im stuck on the last step some one help

 

pretty sure your going to need a different ECU, take a quick search for and look on what you need for b16's. I think you will need a P28 ECU for your swap, Good Luck.


Oh yah, its vtec

 

$249 for a distributor cap?...i think you mean the complete distributor..is it a jdm b16?

 

if this is a JDM B16A (88-91), you'll need a PR3 or PW0 ecu.

 

If your not running the correct ecu that could def be your problem. Make sure you connected all your grounds.

 

I know you're frustrated but if you don't have all the info/knowledge on this swap you're gonna need more than 24 hours.

1. you need to use a PR3 or PW0 ecu to run your B16a
hit up member >blackwagon he has 2 PW0's for sale

2. you need to get your wiring correct. there's no way you could of hooked up your vtec solenoid to your stock dx computer.

these are your 2 main things to do first. post back up if if you run into more problems after you take care of these issues first

 

why didn't u try using your old dizzy?? thats what i did. I heard that it was possilbe so i tried it no harm and its free, and it works, HF distributor on my b16, u can also try swaping out the coil ignitor and any other internal that u think could be busted
