I purchased the car with the swap allready completed by the previous owner. He was unable to get it to run. He had everything lined up correctly that I can see.
I just got lucky and decided to try putting the plug wires on the distributor 180 degrees off and the thing started and ran. I...
Does it have fuel in the tank?:confused:
To answer the question, Yes, the tank is full. I just topped it off again yesterday.
It actually has great throttle response and idles perfect all the way to 4,500 RPM. I drove it around the neighborhood yesterday afternoon. The only code it...

yes, it was a B18A1. this kid couldn't get the d16 started and couldn't figure out why. I went and looked at it and sure enough he was still trying to use the old distributor from the B18a1. He had one bolt in holding it on and that was it. :o
I am hoping that is the only thing he messed...
I purchased a 89 CRX SI that has a minime swap in it. The previous owner had a DOHC motor from an integra in it. He blew it up and has now put the minime swap in. I don't know what all wires had to be changed to run the DOHC motor. I am now trying to convert it back so any help would be...
