My car was running fine after the first time running it until I hit the freeway....I was speeding up to test the vtec and just after I hit vtec all of a sudden I got a jolt then all of a sudden the car started vibrating....anytime now that I accelerate the car vibrates a lot like something his not right...feels like the drivetrain.
Also when I accelerate my car feels like I am accelerating like someone who is learning to drive stick for the first time, you know how the car jerks? then after maybe 3k rpm its smooth again.
I did the tranny swap and motor swap from a h23a to a h22a myself. Could I have messed something up with the tranny? Also when i had the clutch fluid drained during my swap I started the car without engaging the clutch (clutch was on the floor).....i know im stupid, this probably fscked everything up, didnt it..
The car seems to drive ok, but I get a clicking noise often while turning or driving forward and I get a lot of vibration while driving... Drive axles may be bad? I have no problems shifting gears so would that rule out the tranny being broke?
I actually paid attention to my A/F ratio gauge...at WOT I am leaning out REALLY BAD....could this be the hesistation I am getting? the JDM injectors i am assuming could be the prob... those things were BLACK all the way around the tip when i looked at them during the swap, my h23a injectors looked a lot better.
Yes I am using the JDM injectors (could this be a prob?).
I came to the conclusion that my driveaxle might be broke because i here a click on the left side when i am turning.
As for as the hesitation goes, I think its because of the JDM injectors (cany anyone confirm similar problems?). when the car is idling I bog...goes from ~750rpm to 1500-2000rpm then back to 750 in a loop...also when around 3-4k rpm i get a lot of hesistation....i am gonna see if there is a shop around me that can clean them for me or I will just send them out to RC Engineering. I will post back with the progress of my car for input and to help others if they get into the same problem.
If anyone knows anything about the problems I have please do give input
i switched out my JDM injectors for my USDM, i also noticed that the JDM injector fuel filters were badly clogged some had what looked like rust, should i take those out and try running it without the filter?
the car no longer bogs tho with the USDM, except occasionally (very seldom) at around 1.5k-2k rpm while in 1st or 2nd gear i forget... i am using my h23a ecu, do you think it will be ok to use my jdm P13 ecu with my p14 injectors?
I pulled the driveaxles out and it looks like BOTH are shot....i dunno why that happened, but I am putting in new driveaxles. I will post back with the news.
you cant use the p14 injectors...theyre not big enough..try running the p13 ones without the filters...but you may also have a dist prob..seems liek youve got the cursed hesitation problems that so many luder have had...peace
Car runs fine.....for about 20-30 mins then I start to lean out REALLY Bad, car throws a CEL and then I get hesistation...could it be the ECU?
Is there a way to check the CEL while the car is on somehow? because when I turn the car off and back on the CEL is no longer there unless I run the car for another 20-30 mins and have the same reoccuring cycle.
I tried running the JDM injectors with my old p14 ecu but I just run REALLY rich and not so well.
Would clogged injectors give me this problem (Bouncy Idle, leaning out after some time?)
