AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

Okay, guys. Here's my fucked up scenario (What else is new?) Everything was running great a few days ago. No oil leaks. Sparks on all spark plugs and wires. Fuel delivery is great. That was two days ago.

Today, my engine feels like it's dying down every time I start. And when it starts, it weak, and I smell a lot of gas. What the heck could it be this time?

Give me some suggestions and I'll tell you if it was done... Please help!

The spark plugs are great and still have the gaps.

How can I tell if the dizzy or alternator is bad? It was running fine and was gunnin' it everyday. Battery still has a lot of power. Otherwise, it would have never started Saturday afternoon...

fuel pressure regulator f'ed?

start by replacing the parts you know you want to and it'll work eventually :-\

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

I don't think it's the FPR since I smell a lot of gas... It might be an ignition problem.

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

if you smell alot of gas . start there maybe your injectors are purgeing to much gas. might have to much gas in the cylinder tand therefor no sprk. therefor its bogging or dying.

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

maybe one of your injectors are stuck open...

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

are the injectors leaking from the rail?

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

clean off your IM and then run it for a while and see if any fuel is comming off the rail or around there.

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

The leak is not coming from the rail.

Okay, here's the update. It was fuel related. But it was the fuel pump. It seems that the stock fuel pump of the CRX is not up to capacity with the Integra Motor. If anybody else can verify this, then I'm going to have to look for a stronger fuel pump... Thanks.

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

Or can I just change my FPR to an adjustable one? Since the pressure for the CRX is 35-41 psi, and the pressure for the Integra is 41-48 psi, does it really matter which one I upgrade? Please help.

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

the fuel pump should have been on your list of upgrades... glad you caught it though.

Re: AAAARRRRRRGHH! FUCKING ENGINE!!!!!!
 

Is there a much better fuel pump compatible for my CRX other than OEM?
