I bought a 89 civic with a 90 ls swap
cant figure out whats wrong with it
:confused:

It backfires and runs like ass. wont rev past 3000 er so
almost like the ecu is in limp mode but i tried a new ecu any suggestions?
also changed spark plugs and wires cap and coil ive checked the timing and it seems okay
 
im almost to the point where im gunna rip it all out and re do everything
 
Crankshaft Position Sensor
Top Dead Center
CYP Sensor

the car ran fine when i got it then after a week all three sensor just went out

it seems like a bigger prob to me
 
well if it was me i would try a new distributor. it has things in it that can go out and put it in limp mode
 
alright thats what i was thinking too
maybe ill try a crank sensor too i did some reading and it said that would make it rev bounce and limp mode

also cleaning the iac could be clogged and the 02 sensor
 
Crankshaft Position Sensor
Top Dead Center
CYP Sensor

all of these are integrated onto the distributor. the entire casing has te be replaced in order to change the sensors. if you change the dizzy to a known-good one, it will probably fix your problem...
