Have 3 problems with b18c i swapped a couple months back.
93civic cx, 0bd2 engine/tranny/ 0bd1 p72 ecu
1. I had oil on my plugs/wires - changed the valve cover gaskets and tried to clean as much oil out of the cylinder as i could and on the plugs. Past 2 days has been running normal, then today again almost feel hesitant while i speed up. Wondering if i should just buy new plugs because its not getting spark.?
2. When i swapped the motor i had the full GSR parts car - I used the GSR resinator/cat (had a secondaryo2 sensor attached) and attached it to mine.
it went >headers>my cat>gsr cat> my exhaust. I did this because of the gap left.
Wondering because the gasket broke the fumes coming into the car?
3. Car is running rich it smells. Not sure If i just smell the exhaust fumes because of the missing gaskets. Does have black soot on exhaust and i am burning oil. No CEL tho. Im guessing a bad o2 sensor? but would there be a code? (just started recently the smell tho)
My idle is adjusted because i had a obd2 p72 ecu which i didn't want to use and wire the secondary o2. Adjusted to get the car moving. Now have a obd1 p72. It hunts around 14xx-15xx or 18xx-20xx rpm. Had a heater hose leak.
Any questions on explaining, or things i should try or what would work best would be much appreciated.
