Hey guys,
Obviously I'm new, I have been lurking for a while now, but a problem has arisen and I need help now.
I have a 92 civic hatch with a 94 b18b swap, stock.
The car ran perfect up until a couple weeks ago, all of a sudden it would have a bad surging idle and would jolt when you let off the throttle. After I cleaned the IACV, theat problem went away, but the car would not idle until warm (New problem). I have dealt with having to let it warm up until now.
I am moving RIGHT NOW from Idaho to Indiana, and I'm stuck at a Day's Inn in Utah. All of a sudden on the freeway, the car started losing power and sounding like a boxer engine, like it wasn't firing on all cylinders. Then it just died, no power. Got it off the road, and after a while it fired again, would not idle, but I limped it off the freeway. Went to autozone, determined it would not idle because of the fuel pressure regulator. Had to drive to a dif. store to get one.
I got halfway to the other autozone when it died again, this time for good. Stranger took me to get the regulator, got back, installed. Car fired up, but has terrible idle, fast roam from 15-1600 and when you let off the throttle it just drops all power, it's not smooth like it should be, hard to drive it like this.
Now it's throwing a CEL, after a minute or two of idle, which I can't check right now. It's snowy and raining badly , maybe a possible cause?
Sorry for the long ass post, but I wanted to lay out everything. I need to get up in the morning and drive 1100 miles. SO PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP.
