I got another daily/beater/project car. I purchased it for $2500. It came with 2 spare H22As that I will practice my nonexistent motor building skills on. One is completely disassembled and the other has a bent valve. Both are Type-S. It came with an extra set of wheels that I'll probably sell because I don't need nor want them. I think they are Prolines or something like that.
Here is the background of this car:
So the PO replaced a ton of things, but if you follow my other thread about diagnosing this problem (http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=207433) you can see that the problem was the wrong balancer drive pulley. It was for an OBD1 motor which doesn't have the CKP sensor poles on the pulley like the OBD2 one. Swapped the correct one on and now it starts and runs pretty good. I haven't aired her out yet. I think I need a break from the CB, too. Something new-ish to work on. I've been driving old faithful for almost a decade now. It's really time for a proper rebuild on her anyway. Something like what Rilas has done with his.
Now for the pics...which I will upload later because I'm typing this at work
The mandatory mod list:
Propulsion:
DC Header (installed)
Euro-R Manifold (have, not installed)
Generic Cold air intake (installed)
Ghetto(DIY) Manual Tensioner (installed)
New Timing Belt
Balancer belt removed
New stuff from PO listed above
New Axles
New Slave Cylinder
New Fuel Filter
New Engine Harness (well exceptionally clean so I'm going to assume new)
Outside:
Foglights
Depo Blackhoused Headlights
Blue Repaint
Tint
Front Lip (want)
Side skirts (want)
Rear Lip (want)
Rolling Stuff:
17" XXR 526 (installed)
Tien Coilovers (installed)
SPC adjustable balljoints front and rear (Installed)
Interior & Electronics:
Spray painted panels (installed, looking for a clean set)
Alpine Type-R components (Installed)
Some cheap head unit (Installed)
Eclipse 5 channel amp (want)
Anyway...this car is slammed. The Tiens are literally maxed out. Not my style, so it's going to get lifted about 1.5".
The XXR 526s are nice and have gotten a lot of compliments from non car people, but they aren't classy enough imo. I want some BBS's...gold with a polished lip.
There is a rattling noise at about 3k rpm. (Hole in the exhaust)
The A/C is pretty much non-existent. It may only need a few lines. (May leave out)
The interior...oh God the interior. There is black spray paint on the console, doors, dash, and the little small kick panels. (Replace everything)
The ECU wiring has been touched and will have to be repaired to my standards.
The engine bay needs a wire tuck.
The key only works in the driver's door and ignition
Things to do/Quick Checklist:
Lift car
Find some BBSs or Fikse FM-5 (May go with some stock blades or RSX Type-S wheels. I want to DRIVE this car, not just look cool)
Fix Paint Blemishes
Replace Painted Interior Parts
A/C Fix (Maybe)
Ecu wiring Fix
Acquire an amplifier
Acquire a better Head unit
Do a simple sound system install.
Replace lock cylinders
Install alarm
Paint boo-boo:
I have the rest of the interior parts.
Here is the background of this car:
I have a 2001 honda prelude base model 5spd
I just recently dropped a used 2000 prelude base motor in it bc my last one bent a rod.
I dropped the motor in smooth sailing and i test start the engine with no radiator, evap system, or accessory belts hooked up. Engine cranked and ran and idled just fine. Before it got hot i shut it off and continued to hook up the rest of the parts. Once allllll was in place no plugs unplugged i started again only this time the engine will fire and shut right back off. Here is what i have checked and replaced
Crank sensors
Knock sensor
Cam sensors
Distributor + plugs and sparks
Cleaned the injectors professionally
Checked all grounds
Ignition coil
Fuel pump and all lines including the rail
Immoblizer unit.
I even went as far as putting a new ECU and ignition and immobilizer in there just in case the ecu was bad
Im running out of ideas any suggestions would help greatly. When you put a test light on the injectors on the ON position they show full power. But as you are cranking they only pulse it seems to be once out of the four times they should be firing. When the light pulses on the injectors the car cranks over thens shuts off.
If you shoot brake cleaner into the manifold the car runs perfect. So that must be the issue but what is causing it?? Yes i replaced the fuel pump relay and the pgmfi
