ok, as some of you know, ive been trying to get this mini me running right in my coupe. ive figured out some things..
i do have a 95 civic DX coupe, not a EX
i have the dx harness instead the a6 si harness
a couple plugs are missing for some sensors i think
it starts, runs good, does idle up and down until it gets warm, like most honda's, i figure the idle part is the FITV needing cleaned, from what ive read..i can rev it up, sounds good, does hesitate a little bit when first revved but when i pump the gas a few times it picks up and sounds mean lol
also, when going down the road, if i slightly give it throttle, itll run good, no missing, no cutting out, i mean runs good, but when i start feeding it throttle and start puttin a load on the engine, like to go up hills or to just go fast, it starts bogging/cutting out/sputtering, but i can press the clutch, rev it a time or 2, then give it gas and itll pick up and run strong...or iif i try giving it gas and it starts bogging i can sometimes just let off the gas and punch it and itll pick up and run strong also...this has me a little confused. im pretty positive the timing isnt the issue but dont have access to a timing light for few weeks so i cant verify its in "perfect" time. i was thinking maybe the FPR was going bad? the iat plug is nowhere to be found on my wiring harness, but i dont think that is part of my problem..or is it? also, the purge solenoid is not on my z6 manifold, could it also be a factor? i found a couple loose wires around the front of the motor, close to where the trans bolts to the block...2 wires is black, one is grn/black, one is yellow? any help would be appreciated
