Tach-o-my god

[whatinthe]

My coil died and ever since I replaced it my ignition freaks out above 3500. Sometimes it does all right but if I try to to accelerate above that it misses really bad and my tach swings between 3500 and the bottom. Does my car have Aids or something??

Try a new igniter. The igniter is what sends the signal to the tachometer.

G-Ya. Thanks Ninja!!

Are you having a problem with your tack or reeving past 3500rpm? confused. When your replaced your coil did you take off the distributor? If you did did you re set your ignition timing?



Ninja? Im trying to help you dick lol.

Check all the connections inside the dist too.

It hella misses and my tach goes crazy. Yesterday I just pushed it and everything kind worked after I hit 7000. It seemed to run better after I did that amazingly but the tach still flickered alittle above 3500. Timings cool and I left the dist in for the coil replacement. I did take it out when the other coil died and tried another dist to make sure it was my ignition... it left me in an intersection. It was hella cool. Why does everybody think ur a dick?

Yes.

So you have changed the distributors out did you mark the location of the first on? If you just slapped it on their its wrong You changed your timing. When you check your base timing are your shorting your scs connector? Do you have any codes? If you are misfiring you can look at your plugs and see http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/pages/t.../diagnosis.htm thy will look all black and wet.

Ninja Porn from heaven!!! Ya I marked it and shorted the connector. I might have knocked something loose when i tached it out tho. Let me do that other stuff u said to so I can rule those out.

I do alot of low speed driving during the country put I take every once and again. I also have Hondata thats set up for a b16 with a turbo that is throwing the "where's ur vtec" code but i have a b18b non-vtec. No codes with the stock ecu but this all started a long time before I got the new ecu. I can tell that its the advance because the ignition doesnt cut out it just looses power and then spikes. It feels like there's a midget playing with my throttle. sometimes when im accelerating slow i can feel everything work right and it hauls ass. Its so wierd but it keeps from street racing.

Why would you run an ECU that is not tuned for your car?

[whatinthe]

Cuz u can tune Hondata. I didnt get the cable when i bought it

[Fuse]

omg ok let me know what you find. Sound like you have 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag. You are going to have your hands full with this problem. Don't forget to look at all the simple stuff that causes a miss rotor cap wires if the spark never gets to the plug you miss. It might not be an ignition problem your engine could be kicking on to much fuel also.

Have fun.

For the love of God, man...

Get the correct ECU for your B18B1 and all of your power delivery issues will be fixed. Until you've invested in serious motor build, you won't benefit from a tunable ECU.

Dave speaks the truth.

Fuel injection simply measures the air ur motor is using and calculates how much fuel and spark advance. Tuning changes that but its not that much different. It like im not flooring my car. Thats all. Major improvement with the new ecu. Even if it is running rich or lean the spark advance is awesome!!! The other problem has got to be a sensor. When it all works right its stupid fast. It just doesnt so it all the time. It will all come together. Intake Hondata = not to many hondas beat me. Oh yeah I hollowed out the cat too. Do u really think it would be smarter to build the engine first and then get the ecu?? Ecu then motor. Then I can use it.

Yes we are quite aware of how the fuel injection system functions.

You stated that your Hondata is tuned for a b16 turbo. The ignition and fuel maps are totally different than what your car requires. You are not gaining anything by running that ECU at this point. I'm sure your car is running pig rich...

And just to add, every engine is different, even with identical mods. Get an OEM ecu until you are ready to strap that car on the dyno and tune it for your setup. Imagine how "stupid fast" that car would be if it was actually running correctly.

If your not willing to revert to an OEM ecu, we really can't help you with the problems your describing.

[mberndt]

Lemme get this straight... This dude is running a B16-turbo ECU on a B18 non-turbo, non-vtec engine?

And he's wondering why it is having misfire problems? Jesus, talk about stupidity...

No offense, but I don't even know where to start... Your english is horrble, I can barely make out what your intentions are.

Ive tried both ecu's one just goes slower than the other. Maybe u shud hop up another front drive. Im a drifter. This is my toy

OMG a DRIFTER!!! Maybe you should learn to spell and find another forum. Try Superhonda.

Sorry. I love Honda's. That guy just p*ssed me off. Still friends?

Okay, this thread is done.
The problem has been diagnosed and this is not the forum for off topic chat.
