I am having the exact issue out of my h22a4 In my ef She will crank up and drive yet when. She warms up and I engage the clutch. She idles down and dies. At 900-1200 rpms the oil light will flicker. I need advice ASAP
 
Which ECU are you running. I was having similar issues with my p13 JDM ECU on mine, but when i swapped it to a chipped p72, it was all better.

Please fill us in on the steps you took to ensure the the timing (both electrical and mechanical) was in good shape.

And....for the third time....any engine codes?
 
first thing was before i changed timing i marked all my cam gears and crank gear before removal as well as balancer then swapped out the hydralic tensioner to the manuel tenioner then put on new water pump . then put on new timing belt and balancer belt then fired it up ,it idled but real low then when it warmed up it would stall out so i replaced the throttle body cuz fitv was bad and replaced tps still the same problem,thought maybe the fuel system ,but i put new injectors and fuel filter and walboro fuel pump, now it has a hard timie starting up dew to fuel getting to the cylinders, dont know what to do now, NEED HELP BAD ?????:confused:
 
And what about the electronic timing steps?

Do you need to jump the service connector to permanently change the distributor timing like I must in my OBD1 92 Civic?

And........4th time.......Any ENGINE CODES?

Distributor getting tired?
 
it wont stay idling to do so,it will idle for a second then die ?? ,so yes i hav"nt timed the ignition yetany idea"s.... my engine codes are 6,8,14

Top Dead Center sensor

Coolant temp sensor

And IACV sensor

Check wiring and/or buy new parts. I would do both
