tell me what you guys think,

i think a loose conect on somewhere but i dont know what it could be. when ever i go over a bump.. the car looses power. cel light comes on.. if i lift my foot off the gas.. the cel light goes away, and the revs die down, i step on the gas, the cel light comes on and the car will not rev higher. while teh car is moving, i restart the car and it runs fine.. until it hits anotehr bump then i gotta do the same thign over again.. but whnever the car starts up again. it idles fine. so i know the belt isnt jumping.

just 5 mins ago.. i was idling teh car tryign to figure out what happend.. and then it died, battery light comes on. start teh car up and its fine.. wtf? i checked the CEL.. and there's no code.. this is weird

my car is obd1, running hondata s200 with a p28, lsvtec with b16 distrib. original stock fuel pump and fuel filter..

 

bump

 

damn, you have some weird bugs to work out! I would definetly start @ the ECU play with the wires there..see what it does...is your ECU bolted down? If its not then it's moving when you hit the bumps causing a connector to lose continuity...but could be anywhere...

 

i think it just might be the hondata as well.. the red led goes out sometimes.. but sometimes the led goes out and the car still runs normal.. any clue whats up on this?

 

any updates?

 

well today it was workgin fine.. drove a few miles and no porblems.. and then. bam.. hit another small bump and the thing started loosing power again.. its weird.. teh CEL light only comes in when i'm on the gas.. today it waS FLICKERING.. like a bad connection... i still dont get it.. i'm gogin to have someone look at it tommorow. not sure if its the hondata connection or not

 

yeah keep us posted,

 

definately sounds like a bad connect.... wiring troubleshooting is a bitch!!! good luck man...

 

figured it out!! turned out to be a Map sensor problem. Tried another map sensor but it didnt fix the problem. after talking to a friend, we figured it might be my SFC vtec controller.

Turns out that the way it sends more fuel is by sending a higher voltage map sensor reading to fool it into adding more fuel. i think anything more than 4.1 volts, the Map goes haywire, and for some reasone i was either getting a short, have a bad ground on the SFC, or it's just wearing out.

Since i run Hondata, i have no need for an SFC, so i just shut it off. so now its disabled, and so far so good :thumbup
