timing problem, d16z6
 

first off... d16z6 with 5spd tranny, 94 sedan, originally auto, using auto p06
the only way my car will run is if i turn my distributor counter-clockwise just until none of the bolts line up, and then it runs fine until i rev it up, then the idle goes up and down.

i tried setting my cam to TDC and working from there but nothing changes. does my problem lie in the ECU?

my dizzy firing order is as follows

3
14
2

please help.

Sounds like the plug wires are not correct. The firing order for honda 4 bangers is 1 3 4 2.

Did you check the timing with a timing light?? I wasn't off by that much but my car bogged like a bitch.

Re: timing problem, d16z6
 

you really need to run the correct ecu before trying to diagnose a problem. im sure there are codes and stuff that you didnt talk about in your explanation of the problem, if thats what you wanna call it an explanation.

Re: timing problem, d16z6
 

the only code im throwing with the p06 is 19 - auto tranny code

Re: timing problem, d16z6
 

That code will not make the engine run any different.

Re: timing problem, d16z6
 

yeah i know thats why im puzzled, are the p06 and p28 ignition maps different?

Re: timing problem, d16z6
 

Yes, but it would idle and part throttle cruise correctly.

i try to help, i guess nobody cares to listen to me for some reason, oh well.

EH, I'm with you on running the correct ECU, but I was on my phone and it was the most expedient thing to answer with. I don't exactly relish waxing poetic via numeric keypad. :l
