Just a quick update: Sold the car today for dirt cheap so I can have the garage space for my newly acquired boat. $1500. The car still had the same power loss issue as it always has. I got a call from the buyer four hours later saying they just did a compression test with 80 PSI being the...

and....the new distributor did not fix the problem, but now it has a new dizzy.

$2900 is the price as of now. Once the power loss issue is resolved, I will ask for more. So if you want it for $2900, get it now.

I've been told that my problem is related to the stock ecu and a 12:1 compression ratio. I plan to take the car to a performance shop in suwanee as soon as I can get my hands on a trailer. Once I get the ecu tuned, we should be ready to sell!

I noticed the cams when I was changing the head gasket. I have not ran a compression test, but the engine does not smoke at all, so I ruled out low compression. I swear by the timing. I did it twice just to make sure it was perfect. I measured my #1 piston being at TDC by putting rachet...

I keep reading about how this ecu is made for a b18, which has "two butterflies", so that is why my B16 is bogging down. If the ecu isn't the main problem, do you think it could be my fuel pressure regulator?

I really think my problem is the P72 ecu. From what I understand, it dumps alot more fuel and is making the engine bog down at low rpms. So my next move is towards a P30.

Laugh if you want. I didn't know "check your valve lash" meant check your valve clearances. I checked my valve clearances last time I had the valve cover off. All clearances were within the 99' civic si helms manual's specs.

Excuse my earlier idea. I was just happy I had it running half way decent. I put a OBD1 Solenoid on, it started doing the same thing it was with the OBD2 Solenoid. Now, I have the solenoid unpluged and the vacuum line from the intake manifold capped off. It does run much better, but the my...

ok, after driving it....it backs out the driveway fine, but shortly after driving the car, it starts to bog down. So I'm going to find a OBD1 Evap purge Solenoid so this thing should run right. One of these little pieces:

GOT IT!! It was the OBD2 Evap Purge Solenoid. I just decided to unplug it, the car started right up and is running strong.

I proved that Advance gave me a bad Dizzy, but the new dizzy didn't fix my power loss. There is hardly any throttle response. If I tap the throttle, nothing happens. If I hold the throttle open, it takes about three seconds for there to be a significant Rpm increase. I took a video of me...

I couldn't tell you the mileage. The seller and I aren't on speaking terms to say the least. I'm about to pickup this dizzy now.

Do you think it could be the ECU's response to higher temperature readings from your IAT sensor? Just a thought, I have absolutley no source to back that theory up.

I remember dragging my finger nail across the worn areas when I had them out. My nail did hang on some wear lines. I know these things are bad, I'm just curious if they could be to blame for my complete power loss. I always use assembly lube, but I can't speak for the person who built this...

Thanks for the help rick. I used the section in my 94 GSR helms to troubleshoot the problem. After all the voltage tests and continuity tests, the helms manual points to the Ignition Control Module as the problem. I took the dizzy back to advance, there will be another one there in the morning...

Well, I got the new dizzy on and now it won't start and I'm getting a CEL 15. Which is "No ignition output signal - possible faulty igniter." All the plugs matched up fine with the OBD1 Dizzy I got. It is a reman from advanced... I just keep telling myself there's no way they'd sell me a bad...

Sure, I can post some closer pics soon. I've actually caught myself trying to fix the car's issues again, so I'll put some up when I get a chance. I've got a new dizzy ordered in an attempt to fix the lack of power.

I was able to change the order. Thanks alot! That will save time.

I have everything back together right now, just waiting on another dizzy. If it doesn't fix the problem, I'll take it apart for some more pics.
