Well I took the car down to Dover over the weekend. Started it up and drove for over an hour. Not one problem. Shut the car off for about a hour and it started back up without any problems. Made a few stops along the way back home. Everything worked great. The times I let the car sit varied...

Well everything was good untill tonight. Went out to dinner and the car ran great. After letting the car sit for about a hour and a half, it started the spitting and sputter. Like a loss of power and only running on a few cylinders. I'm ready to lite a match and let it burn. Little things like...

Ok so the car is running like a champ again. I went ahead and hooked up a new O2 sensor and it stopped all the missing. I guess somewhere in there the o2 wire must have been arcing on something or the ecu just wasn't reading it. I'm not sure but a new o2 sensor seemed to fix the problem. Thank...

I'm new to all the chipped ecu's and tuning. I need to -111find me a tuner in my area. I bought the car with the turbo already on it so I'm un sure of the tune that it has. But I have owned it for about 3 years and this is the first time I've had problems like this. I guess it's all part of the...

So buying a new O2 sensor will probably just be a waste of money. This thing has me puzzled. Wish I had the parts to just go back to stock.

I appreciate all the help. This has drove me crazy. I think I have it narrowed down now and will find out for sure after work. I was under the hood last night double checking all my wire connections to make sure nothing had came loose. Sprayed contact cleaner in all the plugs, pulled the spark...

So I took the relay out and checked it. It does show sign of the solder cracking, so I re heated the solder and plugged it back in. It made no difference. So I took a good relay that came out of my other sedan and same results. After the car sits for a few hours it starts and runs fine. But...

I didn't know you could refresh them. That's some good info. I'll try replacing or freshing the one in the to see what happens. Hopefully that's all it is. Hate to have my DD be down in out.

Ok I think I have another relay laying around the garage. I'll swap it out today after work. You think a relay would cause the engine to run as if it's miss firing and not be throwing any cel codes. Also what about the no.4 cylinder having 30-40 more psi then the rest? Could that be caused by a...

So bring this back from the dead. Thought a new distributor would have solved the problem. Was going to start a new thread but just copy and paste this here. Background on the car. It's a 91 civic ex sedan. Has the stock D16a6 engine. Running a cheap ebay turbo setup with a chipped p28. Car...

Ok thanks guys. I didn't even think about matching the ecu and distributor. Well just for future reference so everyone knows. The TD52U distributor matches perfectly. All 3 holes line right up. Hopefully I can find one somewhere cheaper then what advanced auto has them for.

Ok honda heads, I've done some research on this and came up with nothing. First off let me tell you what I have. It's a 91 civic ex sedan, D16A6 turbo. It's running a chipped p28 ecu. Now I got this car over 2 years ago and had a few problems here and there. It's my first boosted car so I had a...

Well I guess I can't get no more help here time to move on.

Well finally got the obd2a p75 manual ecu. I hooked it up and the car seamed to run better. I didn't have that dead spot in the throttle like I did before. Now its throwing code 91 fuel tank pressure. When I had the other ecu's plugged in I never got this code. Now all of a sudden it's throwing...

Okay small update. Tore the whole engine down, replaced piston rings, rod bearing and crank bearing. Along with new front and rear main seals. Got everything back together and still low compression. So I checked the valve lash and it was way out causing the low compression. I readjusted the...

I think he might be referring to the hole in his header and cat, not plugs in the wiring harness.

Well it's been a long time now since I've started this project. My buddy had some funding problems but now were back on track. So here's the car that I'm working on. Ill post a few pics of the progress. Out with the Y7! Before. After a good wash. Some fresh paint. Still waiting on the...

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I had the spark plugs out, so I know it wasn't due to high compression. Ive never clayed an engine before, I'm sure it won't be hard to figure out. Djbaker1 that makes sense. I did notice a big difference in the top of the z6 pistons compared to the a6. Well one...

Well didnt have time to mess around with it very much. I needed the car back on the road ASAP. I took a a6 head off an engine a friend of mine had in the garage and just refreshed everything with new gaskets and seals. Maybe one day when I have the time I'll figure out why I was having this...

Ok so I'm trying to build a mini me. I have a 91 sedan with the a6 already in it. I researched as much as I could before starting and then some during the build. So this is what I have… A6 block, z6 head, z6 IM, z6 dizzy, z6 head gasket and z6 timing belt. So I went ahead and put everythin...
