Car: 92 Civic CX
Motor: 95 H22A
Problem: The motor will start for about 2 seconds and then die. I'm getting an MIL code 10 (IAT) and 22 (VTEC Oil Pressure Switch). the car should run regardless of these two problems. One time, the car started and stayed on for about 10 seconds and prolly would've stayed on longer but i turned it off myself because of a fuel leak at an injector (now there are no leaks). Also, i do not have an injector resistor box in. Obviously it isn't needed for the car to start though. Is it true that running w/o a resistor box could ruin the ECM? I'm using a 95 JDM M/T ECM and stock H22 injectors.

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Oh yeah, when i give it throttle, it falls on it's face harder than if i don't give it throttle. I know it's getting fuel at the injectors and i'm getting 40 psi at the fuel filter.

check to make sure the IACV is connnected, and that the map/tps arent switched

regarding the resistor box, if you are using peak hold injectors with no resistors
then you WILL burn out the drivers in the ECU.

 

how long does this take to happen?

 

depends.
generally not long
