Ok i got a 93 civic hatch with a gsr in it. My friends and i swap it like about a couple months ago. We did all what we can do for it to run right.... (still ain't) the problem is it idles high(1500 rpm). also it goes up and down. it also back fires when i ease of the gas pedal. i changed also about everything that i thought it's the problem. iav, mapp sensor, etc. i'm getting low on funds and patience.

clean out your iacv with brake parts cleaner and your fitv with brake cleaner as well.
idle air control valve- back of intake manifold. - 2 bolts and 2 coolant lines
fast idle somethin or other (haha) - underneath throttle boody 3 bolts and 1 maybe but dont think so 2 coolant lines

search google and you'll find fully detailed write-ups on how to do this from honda-tech and various sources

did u use the stock harness?..and did u mess with the idle on the throttle body? try using sea foam.......is the compression good?

yes i use the stock harness
no i didn't mess with the idle on the throttle body.
didn't check the compression ( figure it's good if the car is running)

 

[sir-t]

you are using the gsr ecu right? not a p28 or juat a random chipped ecu

do a compression check...ur car will still run even if u have a weak cylinder..does it smoke?

 

[T3AM SPOTLIT3]

is a 99 b18c1 motor
skunk2 or blox intake manny
d16z6 t/b
b18a1 injecters

sounds like timing to me. and the idle up and down is a vaccume leak. or tps out of adjusment. no check engine lights?

 

[T3AM SPOTLIT3]

google your problem and mister google well help

 

[sir-t]

i know when i got my hatch it wasnt throwing any codes but ran like complete ass. checked the harness and the guy that had it before had messed up the three plugs on the back of the motor that are the same type plug. make sure your iat, iacv and tps has the right color wires going to each. its freee to check and it fixed my problem

i think this guy is right,reminber when you bolt that dizzy the wrong way?

that's is what i think too. it's the timing. i did jump a tooth and all i did move the pulley back( yeah i know i shouldn't half ass it) and yeah there's a check engine light but the code is for the knock sensor

 

[Nashville]

fix that code. and fix your timing. i think youll be okay.

 

[2.0-TURBOcoupe]

timing has to be 180 out. hes right check teh dizzy.

 

[ef-da-cd]

fix that code. and fix your timing. i think youll be okay.

i'll do it on the weekend or so i'll update later. Thanks Nashville
