I havent checked codes.

What is the method for checking codes on these cars? Do I need to use a scan tool?

I'm guessing it's not a sensor problem. This thing is making some nasty nasty noises. It is undrivable. But it will idle.

under the glove box, along the side, there is a green plug cover tucked under there. pull out the smaller one, should only have rood for two wires. Jump it with a paper clip, turn the key to on without starting, check engine light flashes, count, find the code.

 

Thanks I'll check em In the AM

Bill

 

Ya, sorry guys, my bad. I keep doing that.

It's D not B series... I'm so embarassed. :doh:

 

you know in kali rumour has it d16's end up outside shops in hopes theyll get stolen so the shops odnt have to junk/deal with them. you should be able to find really GOOD prices in the right place. if you got th etime, i suggest perhaps ebay. if you got the money, i suggest also, perhaps, b16!

 

Hahahahah stealing an engine would be a *****, they weigh like 500lbs don't they.

 

"stealing" -> they want them to dissapear. i think the blocks only 350bs, from what i hear. still a ***** i agree.

 

***Update***

Checked for codes today. There are no trouble codes! I have had two different people tell me I lost a timing belt, but the motor still runs! So as far as I can tell it CANNOT be a timing belt if the motor runs.

So I have a D Motor, if I switch to a B motor I need to run a different tranny? Why is that?

Bill

 

The motor won't run with a broken timing belt. You would ruin so many things if you even tried.

You will have to get a new tranny with a B-series motor.

Also:
new ECU
New engine harness
new mounts
new shift linkage
new throttle cable
new header or get exhaust length changed
new axles

that's all I can think of right now...
