Well I've searched and searched and checked everything I can pretty much check. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas..

I have a 92 Civic and a JDM GSR motor swap. Everything seems to be in working order. The motor will start if I shoot a shot of brake clean in the throttle body and run until that burns up but idles fast. I pulled the injectors out and they are squirting out fuel. Tried a brand new main relay, new fuel pump, have fuel pressure set at around 40psi. We tried messing around with the fuel pressure but still doesn't make a difference. Does anyone have any idea's? It seems as if the injectors just aren't squirting enough gas....

I have a brand new set of 550cc injectors I tried just for the hell of it and the car would start up and idle for about 40 seconds by itself then die.... Wouldn't start great but it would start and idle..

Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

 

Hey wassup. What model civic r u running(EX?) and have u checked to make sure u have the proper ecu, and r u using a stock gsr intake manifold. chck to make sure ur throttle cable is properly adjusted, and if ur IAB is connected.

 

Take out your spark plugs, pour a little bit of oil in each cylinder, put splugs back in, then try to start it.

If that doesn't work, come back and ask again.

 

Check your ignition timing, and be sure the TPS and MAP sensor's aren't reversed.

lol whats that suppose to do?!! that will just make the car smoke like a chu chu train!! lol

 

Do NOT pour oil into your cylinders, unless of course you want fouled plugs.

How do your plugs look? What's condition is your ignition system in?

This is off topic, and I am not suggesting that this is the OP's problem!

Putting a few drops of oil into the combustion chamber is common practice when performing a compression check.

A few drops of oil will allow failing piston rings to seal better for a few strokes, giving you a higher compression reading, concluding that you should replace the rings. If the compression reading stays the same, then you know that your valve seals or head gasket could be leaking.

 

ok lets start with the check engine lite is it on and if it is what code do you have?

 

im not the one to argue but i know whats rite and wrong! and pouring oil into your spark plug whole which is the combustion chamber is... thats just retarded! lol

check for spark... if its the original distributor the coil might have went bad... let me know if you get the problem fixed!

 

And check plug gap.

 

could be a bad plug also... i just worked on a accord the other day put the new headgasket on... went to start it wouldnt turn over.. checked for spark it had spark on all four cylinders changed the plug and it started! especially the motor being jdm its prolly been sitting a while.. who knows how old those plugs are.. and if you could buy some new plug wires.. ive had a few plug wires from japan not work because there just so old
