im new to redline so bare with me

i have a 97 hatch with a 93 b18a1,
going down the road as im giving it gas half or full throttle it will fall on its face, then you give it more gas and it jerks forward then bogs down like you have the e brake on, then around 4k it will kick in and run strong, if i let off rev up put it back in gear it will run fine for a sec then it jerks back then i give it more gas, it jerks forward like i dont know how to drive a 5 speed, it will do it continuously for awhile then check engine light will come on and it will quit and run fin, just put a new o2 sensor on it and a new fuel filter it quit for awhile and just started doing it, ive reset the ecu many times nothing i dont think its a vacum leak or it would do it all the time, hard to describe, have any questions or comments that would be appreciated

have you had the cel read when it comes on? that's gonna be the easiest starting place.
is anything else wrong? smoking? noise?
and are you positive you checked all the vacuum lines? most notable the iac valve
What wiring harness are you using? If you use the incorrect one it will fuck up you a/f ratios.

it smoke alittle going into gear just blows a cloud as my friend says, and yes but i thought it might be it still has the d series ecu in it could that be it?

do you know the person that did the swap? you could ask which harness
I know of people who have had similar problems after using the wrong wiring harness

what color is the smoke? like whitish or blue or black...

what ecu do you have?

i think he is running a d series ecu....

well yea but which one?

Yeah, he's got the d series ecu in it, but I'm not sure which one; can't remember. I'd assume the d16y7 ecu. I think they come stock in the 96-00 hatches, but could be wrong.

I tried to use my code reader to read the CEL, but it just sat there and nothing ever popped up. The reader was getting power, but just sat there with moving dotted lines, like it was waiting to read the CEL, but nothing. Weird.




--------
People in town have also speculated that it might be a bad head gasket or bad motor mount. He's not loosing any coolant or oil anymore as far as I know, so Idk how it could be the head gasket. And I have no idea if it could be a bad motor mount. That doesn't make much sense to me, but what do I know? Lol

its white smoke, like water/ collant but i had a hole in my coolant line fixed that it hasnt even pulled a drop out of the resivour, so i dont know if its burning it but it has the po6 stock d15 ecu

i am stock d series po6

Bump bump bump!

and to add no today my car is completly flooding itself and idle and ging down the road it sounds like its cammed out the ass like toda v-tec killer cams, and also you can smell gas in the cab(way to much fuel)

your a/f is off

has the swap worked right before or always done this?

double check that harness....

What does he need to be looking for on the harness? We're not pro's with electrical stuff like you are. Lol

its always done that but never the flooding i have a video of it on my phone if anybody wants to see it, but what do i need to be looking for? i need to buy the harness and im gettin a p28 and a b16 head from a friend and i was going to send it to phereable.net to get it chipped(everybody i know has used phereable and had no problems) but get it chipped for v-tec but i need to know what i need to do asap?

k well b18a1 for 93 is obd1
p06 is the obd1
it should work, albeit not to it's potential. I dont know whats wrong in your harness, maybe nothing, unless you have an earlier b18 which is obd0....
youre running an 1.8 litre engine on maps for a 1.5. the air/fuel is going to be off. you can try getting it tuned or chipped for a better map so it runs better until you change the head and ecu again.

thats the first thing that pops into my head for this. but don't blame me if im wrong

well its always ran alittle rich, but all this was a clogged fuel filter an the vacum hose had worked its way off the map sensor, lol but hopefully soon it will have an h series in it with a p13 or something compatable with h series

you didnt thoroughly check your vacuum lines sir!

lol glad its fixed

no lol im a dumb ass, i really hope to get an ls computer or chip mine soon

true, i really would like to hurry an get my ls out of my car to start taking it apart

I'll be over Friday. We'll start then. Lol

I spent a week troubleshooting an automatic transmission on a 90's Chevy pick up to discover one of the vacuum lines had become clogged with dirt when it was loose before lol.

lol yea your kinda glad that it was just that but then again your kinda like gah lol
