well, it started off last friday night where i decided to remove the stock cx motor/tranny/ecu for a jdm d15b, ex.si tranny, and a chipped ecu from user eg6ajk. along with the setup, i have an oem lightened flywheel (13lbs), and an exedy stage two clutch.

i retained part of the sensors from the cx motor... that being the TPS, MAP, and oil pressure.

i finished the swap, and everything went somewhat smooth. i had an alternator from the cx that wouldn't come off, so i bought one from a guy local, along with a passanger side axle. also am using the cx distributor...

now, the driving story..... i started by driving it up and down my street. from a standstill, i put it in first, and eased off the clutch, and gave it gas. it starts to go normally, then all of a sudden at the top of the release, when i'm almost off the clutch, the car would lean forward, and rpms would drop. it doesn't pop out of gear, and doesn't die out..... just doesn't go anywhere. just a big lean forward and if you keep on the gas for about 10 more sec., it'll die out.

no codes, no signs of crap. i did pull a code 20 before, but i fixed it. can that still give me problems? also, switching between two different VSS's, i still read 0 mph on the speedometer. is it tranny?

please please help, any ideas are appreciated. i already changed out the TOB and shift fork to no avail. its been a horrible week, and i'm going literally insane.


please help.

just drove it around for a sec... always gotta ride first gear, until it bogs down and becomes unresponsive....

after the big lean forward, i hold the gas and nothing happens, the car doesn't read it. could this be MAP and TPS switched around?
also getting codes 10 and 20...

 

i had the same problem but i just adjusted the tps and then everthing went smooth.

your first mistake

 

on my last d15b swap, i used the old dx distributor...

are the dx/cx distributors that different? mounting may be the same, but is it because of 8valve vs. 16valve...

has anybody ran the cx distributor to any success?


also, anybody in the bay area wanna lend me a hand and try switching ecu's for a second? i'd like too see if the chipped ecu is throwing the car off. looking for a p06, p08, or p28...


keep to the top! my car isn't working

 

after reading quite a bit more.... i will change the dizzy out for a z6. also, do 92-95 civics even have an ELD (electric load detector)? i cant seem to find a single post with an eg and the ELD.

The ELD is integrated into the underhood fusebox. I believe it is not an individually replaceable part. It generally never goes bad, because it is just a coil of wire that senses the amount of current passing through a metal bar. I would check the wiring first, then the ECU.
