i have a b16 in my 95 hatch. when i drive my car, sometimes my speedometer dont work properly and sometimes it works perfectly. when the speedometer does work, my car feels like shit. sometimes when im driving, as i accellarate (when the speedometer goes crazy) i can see the rpm drop to about 0rpm and it makes my car bogg and not move. so i accellerate slow and shift into other gears to just get it moving.
i have no idea whats going on, please help with any suggestions!!

i just changed cap and rotor from a gsr distributor. stock usdm p30 ecu running a stock jdm b16. cels i have are 10, 20, 41.

what do u mean by similar problem?? can u go into details. thanks for info tho

pissedoffsol · 01-20-2004, 06:04 AM

the first thing to do is to fix your CEL's. you have wiring problems up the ass.

10- IAT Sensor (Intake Air Temperature)
probably not wired right...

20- Electrical Load Detector
probably not wired right...

41- Primary Oxygen Sensor - Heater
bad sensor? didn't do a 4-wire conversion if needed?

but, will these cels make the car run like that??? can spark plug wires be a cause of all this???

JDMilan · 01-20-2004, 11:47 PM

find the cels and fix them first, then run it, check your alternator, and see if it's getting power, could be numerous things, and yes it can react like that.

i try to fix the IAT, or i try to plug it in but it didnt reach so me and a friend pull on it so it fitted. u think the sensor is messed up or is the wiring??

how can i check my alternator???
