Enough Already!!! GSR/HATCH
-Posted in Hybrid Forum as well-
Ok heres the deal:
The layout
-93 civic hatch w/ jdm gsr motor
-installed by my friend and I about 7 months or so ago
-replaced all oem parts that need be when doing a swap (rotor,cap,wires, plugs, etc)
-Car is never driven hard and driven always with care ( with care: change oil every 2,000, always let car warm up and cool down, can count the # of times vtec engages per week on one hand )
Problem
Everything is practically new on the motor considering i have had to replce alot of things. A little less than a month ago, I had to replace the dist. because the coil went bad. I cam eto this conclusion first when the car would stall every once in a while and then went dead about a month later.
Anyways now that it has ben replaced the car has been running great! However today had a case of Dejavoo*(know the spelling is off...lol) I went out to my car and started it up. It was in nuetral, so I let it warm up a sec (about a min.) then I put in the clutch, shifted into first, but realized i had to run back inside. So I shifted back into nuetral and let out te clutch. All of a sudden teh revs slowley died and the car stalled!?!? Then I tried starting it and it took about 6 coughs before it started again! this is what happened before I replaced my dist. Whats going on?
Last but not least:
A Few Things To Consider
-The car is running a little rich, but nothing serious at all.
-i am taking the car in to be correctly timed by Honda next week, seeing as how a local shop didnt do it right the first time (Could this be my problem? im throwing code 8:TDC)
Sorry in advance if any of this is too confusing, but I am trying to give as much info as possible so you can have a full understanding of my cars "personality". I see too often people not giving enough info......So ask away if i havent.
