I now have a 91 dx hatch i just put in a b16a1 w/LSD. I got everything in ok. I replaced the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, dizzy cap and rotor, plugs and wires. The engine starts but wont rev past 3000. Some help please.

 

Check codes. most likly the TPS sensor. BTW what is LSD? not the drug

 

When i got the engine the TPS was dangling by the wires and it also kinda got bumped a little bit when i put the engine in.

 

What TPS would i get for this engine?

 

what is your defanition of "bumped"? you prabaly need to calabrate it. The reading should be ~.5 volts at idle and ~4.5 volts at WOT on the RED/BLUE wire.

 

my car wouldnt rev past 3k when my distributor was bad.

Limited Slip Differential

 

What code(s) are you throwing at the ECU? You are in limp mode. Fix whatever is throwing your car in limp mode.

check your codes.... sounds like a sensor in the distributor has gone bad

 

MY ecu is throwing a #4 crank angle sensor? some one help please

 

that would do it, the TPS won't do that. I can run mine without a TPS and it runs fine, it just has a CEL but that's it. I have a B16a in a CRX, and distributor problems are really the only thing that'll do that. Unless you had a chipped ECU and the chip went limp mode. That's happened to me too. Was your car a DX before or an Si? If it was a Dx, check your wiring.

 

It is a Dx, my bad. Did you pin the C1 and C2 right (the blue/green blue/yellow)? Make sure they are in the right spots.

 

yep just checked the wiring. all the wires are in the correct spots. so you think its the dizzy huh?

 

I had a very similar problem...some of my Vaccum lines were pre throttle and there suppose to be post throttle body...also my idle air control valve was messed up...

 

This happened to me the other day, bounced off 3k like the rev limiter, I was told it was either the dizzy or crank angle sensor. Luckily when I turned it off and back on it didn't do it again. So most likely it was the distributor and mines about to go bad.

 

the alternator might be loose my buddy's b17a hatch the bolts on the alternator to hold it in place were loose and it would not drive fasted than 35 and rev over 4k.

 

let me know what works... i have a b16a in a crx dx and i am having the exact same problems. 3000 rpms seems like i have a rev limiter. I just bought a new pr3 ecu that is chipped. I'll see if that helps but it might just be the dizzy. let me know how it goes if you replace the dizzy. Matrix_zero@hotmail.com

My friend had the same problem i am having and he swapped the ecu and it worked for him. I'm gonna replace the dizzy next week if the ecu doesn't fix things. I'll keep you posted.

 

I just replaced the distributor with a 90-91 teg ls. I cut the leg that was in the way but the same thing happened. Still only 3k.

 

I hope its not the ecu. Yes PLEASE keep me posted.

and still the ECU code?

Check wiring to the distributor.

Just ordered it, will be getting it hopefully tomorrow or saturday, paid for overnight. I'll let you know.

 

Im just going to rewire the C1 and C2 wires from the distributor. we'll see how that works. please let me know that ecu fixes it thanks.

 

Blue/green goes to C1 and the Blue/Yellow goes to C2 correct??

Here is the wiring colors for a pr3 ecu. You are correct though. Let us know how it goes.

 

Does anyone have the ECU wiring chart for the 1991 DX Hatch, D15
