hey, ive just put type r cams (96 spec itr) into my da6 integra with a b16a gen1 and it works fine but it randomly dies. the revs just die and the motor stops and it wont start untill i reset the ecu and then its fine again? then first time it did this it put out code 3 which is map but its happened a another 2 times and hasnt put out any more codes? the mods on it are: intake and pod, msd coil, exhust, mugen chip and now the cams. my car was running fine before the cams and had never thrown a code before.

any help on this would be good!

maybe your timing is now off because of these new cams. Also, check all the simple things fuses, loose wires, ect.

sorry not much more help.

 

u sure you got the timing dead on?

 

on the cams or on the distributer? im not sure on the disstributer but it would be ver close to wot it was and the cam timming was set right!

Double check your timing, heh. Funny cause my cousin did a timing belt on his and he said the same thing. When I checked his timing was 2 tooths off

 

ok now my car is getting worse it only runs for about 5 mins and it will conk out.

Then when i try and turn it on it wont fire up like its got no gas or something?

could the tappit clearence be couseing this because they are quite noisey(ticking) at the moment.

also wot about the timming could this be becuase the timing is too advaced or retarded? when it dies i just reset the ecu and then it goes again and it runs like normal any help please!!!!!!!!!!

 

oh could it also be something to do with the fuel pump not pumping fuel through or something?

 

Have you looked at your timing? That's real important and stuff. Also, you mentioned that you have a mugen chip. Is that a replacement ECU? Try putting your stock one back in if it is - those things can get funky sometimes.

 

ok now its not goin at all ive reset the ecu and it just wont fire up ive tripple cheacked that the cam gears are in the right place!

would the timming stop the car from running now? every time ive used it the time frame from when it dies is getting shorter the first time it took about 2 hours the next about 1 and then 20min and then 10min and now it wont even start!

when i took the distrubuter off i marked were it was and put it back in the same place, would the new cams have differnent timming?

and no the mugen chip is just a repacement chip. oh and the first time this happened it put out code 3 (map) but every other time there hasnt been a code and currnetly no code! help!!!!!!!!!!!

 

There is a pretty good chance it the timing, i think you should redo it, and if you could get another ecu to test it that would b best.

 

how do i redue it if the car wont start? do i just more the dizzy into random places and try it??

ok tryed starting it again today and i fired up but only for a few mins?(didnt even get to operating temp) ive checked spark and i dont think that its sparking wot could be causing this ive tryed a different coil (i have an external coil set up) but no luck??? ecu, distributer, leads
