I'm going to fix whatever is wrong with her, she sounds wicked... and quieter than my stock engine.

Thats whats throwing me off to, every headgasket problem I've ever had, the compression has always dropped. I thought maybe the piston rings, but if thats the case, I woiuld think the compression would be lower in certain cylinders. My compression is literally 180 psi on every cylinder. I"m...

Well its thick white smoke that hangs around for a couple of seconds. I changed my valve steam seals. And I noticed two very small oil leaks either coming from the sides of the headers or the corners of the head. Trying to figure out which. And I also noticed that the car gets hot really fast...

Ok, so heres the deal I did a 92 DOHC zc swap in my 1990 dx hatchback. And, she purrs like a kitten. I only have one error code on the PR4 ecu I'm running which is a code 10, or the intake air temp. I just gotta figure out where its at. But now to the real problem Yes she purrs like a kitten...

Just got done with my dohc zc swap. And I used the DX transmission, because the ZC tranny wouldn't bolt in. I used the ZC starter. The gears shift fine when the car is off. But when I turn the car on the gears just grind, I can't get it to go into any of the gears 1-5 and reverse. Clutch...

There is an off white plug right beneath the CPS. I need to know what it goes to.

*I copied my post from honda-tech and pasted it here. IT outlines my original post, and the colored text is what I have done since I originally posted this on honda tech I just about two days finished a engine swap. I put a DOHC, black top, 1991, ZC engine into a 1988 Honda Civic DX. I did the...

I'm just trying to think why my car won't start, i'm thinking i messed up the dpfi-mpfi wiring

so the car should still start?

How can you tell if the ecu has gone into safe mode

SWAP INFO: Original car: 1988 honda civic dx dpfi, Swapped Engine: 1991 dohc zc black top, mpfi The ecu is only throwing out one code..(i think i did good for my first MAJOR engine swap). Anyways, the code that is being thrown out is for the CPS. Now, I know the car...

Ok, so I got the clicking sound solved, and everything is gravy with that. I noticed when I was taking the harness off to check the wiring, that I had stupidly forgot to plug the ground up to the thermostat housing for the ecu. But, this is my next issue. The ecu is only throwing out one...

Well, when I unplug the driver side harness connection it doesn't make the clicking sound anymore, so I would assume it has to do with the wiring. I'm checking everything out again

its not any specific blinking, it just rapidly and in a constant pace blinks. it doesn't have pauses in between it or anything, but the blinking of the ecu light matches the clicking sound, their both going at the same pace. Someone told me it might be the wiring from the dpfi to mpfi

I tried that, I also double and triple checked all my grounds
