Sup everyone,
I'm kind of a new member here. I just signed up but I've been "lurking" around the site for a while now lol. I usually check out accordtuner.com but I heard good things about cb7tuner.com also, so I thought I'd check it out.
Here goes:
Right now I'm working on a auto to manual swap in my other car, an Acura Integra. My dad has this 91' Honda Accord EX that he isnt using at all, its a lil beat up but in overall good condition. I've been using it as my daily for the past month, and have been trying to fix all the problems with it to make it into a nice ride.
The main problem I'm focusing on right now is a problem with the engine. A few years ago my father had the timing belt changed at this shitty (excuse the language) shop....he took it that morning running perfectly smooth and brought it back that afternoon running like a total piece of shit. He took it back to the shop and they refused that they had done anything wrong....since then that shop has closed and my father has just dealt with it the way it was. Anyways, the engine misfires........when its climbing up in revs it like misses.....it kind of stumbles....and for some reason the engine will only go up to 5000 rpm........and when you let off the gas at that "rev limit" it backfires..... if you keep the gas down, the rpms begin to go down......it will pull all the way to 5k then just stop pulling.....and even if the gas is down or whatever the revs will fall....
I played around with the electronic timing by turning the distributor, and advancing and retarding all the way didnt help......it has to be something else......what i think, is that they may be off by a tooth on the cam gear.......if it was off anymore, that would cause bent valves and mettalic sound and the engine probably wouldnt even run.....but being off 1 tooth id imagine it would still run, but real shitty.......as it is right now....haha
any ideas?
some other problems.....
the two rear windows dont roll up or down, sometimes when they do they jerk and get stuck, cv joints are fucked, needs alignment, tie rod ends, needs new brake rotors, pads, master cylinder, needs tires, wheels need balancing.....oi
we'll see how it goes down......
and i took out the intake resonator.......damn that thing is loud...louder than my teg w/ exhaust and intake.....lol
I appreciate any responses,
thanks
Maan
