I agree with HATCHET_HONDA. This is the same kid that said he was going to leave the slave cylinder hooked up and just unbolt it from the tranny because bleeding it sounded hard. I applaud your efforts but you should have spent a little more time familiarizing yourself with your car and other basic principles before you just dove in. And stop listening to your shop teacher. He sounds like a fu*kin goober.

Lol yea he's kinda dumb with anything other than domestics. He thought the ecu test wires were on the drivers side. I've been doing most of it myself and glad cause I've learned a lot. I found those iacv and iat sensor bolts they're both probably bad.

I tried switching plugs, spraying with carb cleaner, reset the ecu each test, code 14 disapeared and came back, I'm not sure what to do with it since I went to the service manual and it says I need a special Honda tool my shop teacher doesn't have.

And for the slave cylinder, yea, I just left it aside so what it's a good cylinder. The swap itself was easy. '

Anyway I'll probably end up taking my car to a real shop and get the iacv and iat serviced so it can be all said n done and tell them I'll take care of the vtec codes myself. Because I'm tired of messing with them and trying to fix the fuckin coolant leak and my oil drain plug leak. Vtec I'll wire that in myself.

Which is strange because the vtec solenoid code disappeared for a while too, then came back.

That's how I learn. I usually dive in over my head and learn the hard way.

Just thought I'd give yall another update on my progress:

I've ordered the IACV and IAT sensor brand new from eBay so they should be arriving by the end of the week. In the meantime, I'll be taking my car to Pepboys to get the leaks fixed simply because I don't feel like fuckin with them. And tearing apart and rebuilding the old d15b7 my shop teacher made me do as a project in his class since there's usually nothing else to do but bookwork LOL. He says he's got plans to drop it into some kind of small truck.

SMALL TRUCK??? WTF??? PEPBOYS?? I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN AUTOPARTS STORE...NOT A REPAIR SHOP

99sidude · 01-09-2008, 12:34 AM

Did you try to just clean the iacv? Usually thats just the problem

THIS POST MAKES NO SENSE..IM CONFUSED..LOL

93civicracer · 01-12-2008, 10:59 PM

HATCHET: Yea, Pepboys does full service including engine swaps if you feel like wasting over $3,000. And yea that's what my teacher said he wants to put it in a damn truck.

99sidude: Yea I cleaned it out and I thought it worked but then the code kept disappearing and reappearing so I'm waiting on both sensors in the mail still.

In the meantime I found a junkyard with a good 5th gen EX coupe full of shit I've been takin out including the gauge cluster with the tach, that brake caliper bolt which I just fixed earlier, spare fuses, and the damper fork bolts that I'll be coming back for tomorrow. I'm probably gonna take 2 of the wheels for spares also since they have decent tires on them and I don't have any spares right now. I even bought some tools of my own a beginner mechanics tool box with a load of metric and us wrenches, sockets, ratchets, etc. along with a 2 1/2 ton hydraulic jack and 2 2 ton jack stands so I don't have to go to the school every time I feel like workin on my car. The brand is Stanley and I almost broke the ratchet taking out the caliper bolt, so the next tools I get will be nothing but Snap-on. Only reason I settled for these is cause money's tight and I had a Walmart gift card from Christmas laying around haha.

Ever heard of harbor freight tools? Its cheap as fuck, but works. I'm broke at the moment so thats where I get my tools.

Its hit or miss with them though... I recently got a fuel pressure tester kit from them, and the guage leaked as soon as I got it.

99sidude · 01-14-2008, 02:31 PM

Any updates on the car?

93civicracer · 01-16-2008, 05:25 PM

I got one of my sensors today, my mom's at the post office picking it up for me, still waiting on the other one. After I put them on, I'm gonna fill up the fluids and take it in to get the leaks fixed. Then I'll order that vtec subharness from Rywire and wire that up and my swap should be completely done with after that

.

93civicracer · 01-16-2008, 06:38 PM

Well SURPRISE SURPRISE both sensors were there! Within 10 minutes I opened them and had them installed! But I got coolant in the IAT sensor plug so I cleaned it and I'll try it out in the next hour or so and see if my codes are gone.

The old IAT sensor was burnt to a crisp.

93civicracer · 01-16-2008, 08:02 PM

Alright so I went out there and gave it a try plugged in the sensors and the code 14 (iacv) is gone. But I don't know how the IAT code 10 is still there..the sensor looks great compared to the old black crispy one that still had the metal intact. There's battery voltage.

So I got a question. At first the code sequence was like this from the first time the light came on after turning the key: Long, Long short short short short, long long short, long long short short. That's 10, 14, 21, 22, but now it's 10, 22. That's all I got now but I don't know if that first long one counts because I've heard that the light comes on first and THEN starts flashing codes...So does that mean the first long one just startes the sequence before the code 22 or is it a 10, 22?

I wasn't sure so I bought the IAT sensor anyway for code 10 but I may not have even had it.

99sidude · 01-16-2008, 10:04 PM

idk if the light comes on first or not before it starts checking codes. Just hold the key in the on pos. with the wires jumped and let it cycle through all the codes a few times. If it doesnt repeat that first Long, then it doesnt mean anything, if it does, well then it does mean something.

93civicracer · 01-17-2008, 06:08 PM

Damn, it does repeat the long one. But I put on a new sensor...so why would it still be doing that?

I'm gonna grab the volt meter real quick and make sure it's getting voltage cause I MIGHT have tested the iacv instead, but i'll be right back with the results

.

93civicracer · 01-17-2008, 07:19 PM

There's voltage alright, turns out I forgot to reset the ecu LOL. So now the only code showing up is 22, Vtec oil pressure which I'll wire up soon, and tomorrow the leaks are going to be fixed. Then get the front bumper/hood/left headlight and corner light realigned and see if I can't get the frame bent back into place.

I should've checked it over better when I bought it because the guy lied and told me it was never wrecked.

99sidude · 01-17-2008, 10:57 PM

that sucks it was wrecked. bending a frame back is going to cost you

HATCHET_HONDA · 01-18-2008, 01:02 AM

wow...i didnt know all that bodywork was involved...hell just drive it like you stole it!!

93civicracer · 01-19-2008, 12:08 AM

Yea the bumper/headlight alignment on the left side is barely noticeable but enough to make you wanna fix it. Then the frame alignment, that's gonna be a bitch. Also the hood needs to be realigned it looks like someone tried to pry it open with a screwdriver on the left side. And the right side sets a little too high because of the bent frame so the radiator's not mounted low enough I had to make rubber bushings for a ghetto mount but it gets the job done for now

.

99sidude · 01-19-2008, 01:03 AM

sounds like the car is fucked lol... find a cheap shell

93civicracer · 01-19-2008, 01:16 AM

Fucked? Lol it's far from it

. Here's a list of ALL problems:

Vtec needs to be wired
front frame is bent slightly
hood/front bumper/left headlight slightly misaligned
coolant and oil leaking (but getting fixed very soon, then the car will be driveable)
car's not registered, haven't transferred title yet, no insurance, not inspected
horn doesn't work (i have an airhorn)

Those are just the biggest issues for me, not too bad.
Then there's:

Turn signal light bulb needs to be replaced
both kick panels in the front need to be reinstalled
no radio installed
left z3 fender vent fell off

gonna bondo that bitch and the right one
misc. rice parts to take off except the fenders they're cool

windshield has a small crack

Within a month the first major problems will all be fixed and that's good enough for me.

99sidude · 01-19-2008, 01:29 AM

thats not bad... its fixable. I'm in the same boat. Theres a bunch of little shit I need to take care of. Its just not going to happen till im working again in the summer.

93civicracer · 01-19-2008, 02:08 AM

I almost feel like I wasted the effort swapping in the d15b, but I had to get a running motor quick. The only thing that sucks is that it's so unique it's not like a z6 or B-series with aftermarket internals so I doubt I'd be able to build it without paying an arm and a leg to a machine shop. I'm not sure if I'll boost this or save up for a B16.
