hey guys.
i have a 1991 Civic Wagon DX 2WD (EE2) and a few weeks ago i decided to do an MPFI swap. i read up a bunch on fourthgenhatch.net and a few other sites for the wiring.
also collect all the parts needed, got the complete intake mani, used PM6 dizzy, PM6 ECU and other random junk. everything was installed, go to start the car and it crank up bt instantly jumps to 3200 rpms and sounds like its at the redline going ba-da-ba-da-ba-da anyways. also ECU was throwing codes 15 and 4.
i took back the dizzy i had cause it was a used POS and just went ahead and bought a remanufactured one from Advance Auto for $120. i install it, crank the car and it idles perfect *yay* well not really, ECU is still throwing code 4 (crank angle sensor) and when i rev the engine it still only goes to 3200 rpms. wtf. i thought maybe i got a defective dizzy, so ireturn this for a different one. same problem occurs.
during this time i keep checking and rechecking all my wiring connections and reseach even more deeply the different wires and junk. no use.
4th week into project --
so i guess i eliminated the air and spank systems out cause i have researched them so much and everything seems to be right.
so i moved on to the fuel system, i fricking checked over the wiring to the injectors and everything. idk, still no change (as in im stil getting all the same symtoms, code #4 and not revving past 3200).
EXCEPT now im getting a NEW code, #16 = Fuel Injectors. haha its like God was telling me something. anyways. i checked into it a little and possible reasons for this are Resisitor box, bad injectors, Main Relay (which is NOT the problem fo sho).
-does this mean my resistor box could be messed up? or WIRING to the box?
-what if my injectors were bad would the car run at all? im pretty sure thats not the problem. i got them off a healthy engine from a friend.
one last point i might add, i pulled the spark plugs out from each cylinder and smelled inside to see if anything was weird. #4 and #2 cylinders smelled of raw gasoline, #1 and #3 smelled normal-ish, that is, didnt really smell at all.
when i rev the car up to 3200 it sounds like its misfiring, could it be the injector timing? and if it is..why? whats causing it? i checked the wiring over and over... damn it, idk.
please help me out guys! i need my car!
thanks in advance.
