i am having a problem with my motor. it is a first gen b16a j spec motor. now my problem is when i start it in the morningit has a hesitationfor a quick second then everything seems ok. i can drive the hole day with no problems, but if i push it after a awile it starts back firing the rpm meter will drop to zero and if i give gas it will die down or shoot fire balls. this was an early problem. now, it starts up the same in the morning but the time that it starts acting up shorten and the car sounds like it wants to shut off and when i give gas a little bit of smoke puffs out.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?????????????????

i checked my distributor and its not it, but u can use a 90 91 ls distributor. i think its my fuel pump because i tried starting the car last night and the way i got it to run regular is by giving it gas and the idle pick up very very slowly. then i drove to my boyz crib and it drove fine. as soon as i pull off to go home and tried topushed the RPMs to8000. the rpm meter droped and i tried to press gas but the car just died even faster. i pushed it back to my boyz house and let the car sit for ten minutes it started up greate. i tried driving again with out moving fast ass soon ass i got to the end of the block it died and didnt want to start. i pushed it down the block for the last time to park it.as soon as i got there and tried to start it started and cut right back off. ANYBODY EVERYBODY, TELL ME WHAT U THINK. B)

I think you need a tune up and possibly mybe you need to check the whole fuel rail and see if your injectors a working right , other then that maybe if you would had let the engine warm up first when you got the engine and replaced all the other GS parts such as the "Fuel filter" and checked all the other fuel components you wouldnt have this problem

i just ckecked my injectors and i changed them with my ls injectors. now when the car starts for the first timeit sounds like its half way on then runs normal. i was driving the car today and it was working fine ,but i didnt push the car. this was in the morning and later this afternoon, i tried pushing it and it just cuted right off. after about 15 min. it started up but cut rite off when it goes over 3000 rpms. after two cut offs i pluged out the ignitor box and pluged it back in the car started up. when i get money i will tune it up and change all the parts that is needed and i will check out my fuel rail, but what should i look for?

This is a classic fuel pump problem. You shouldnt have any smoke though?? I would drop in a new pump, inspect the tank while youre at it and replace your fuel filter. Its all about the gas. Youre either not getting it or youre getting bad gas.....aka water in da tank.

hey that is the best solution that ive heard. just today i started the car it stuttered in the beggining but it started i let it warm up and it sound like it was ok as usual i drove it up and down the block maxingit out to see if it would cut off but it didnt. after and hour i drove it around the block tried two max it but it just cut off. i got it to start andgavea little gas. as soon as it sound like cutting off i came off the gas. the motor was doing the harlem shake for 5 seconds a then idled normal.
