well i thought that too... BUt its the same map ive been running for over a year and its never been a problem since then. I dont know why it would suddenly make the car run like crap since nothings changed on the car?

b20accord

no no, im sure the car still functions going inbetween closed and open just fine. IM just saying when its open loop and closed it runs like crap. And i believe open loop is when its not running off any of the sensors. So i doubt it would be any of the sensors. other then the ect and iat because i changed them both.

Does it seem to run extremely rich at idle? Seems to clean up a little if you rev the motor? If that's the case try switching the plugs for your tps and map sensor. They're pretty common ones to get mixed up, will cause your car to run like complete ----, and won't throw any codes due to the fact they both use the same voltage range.

hmm.. I will check asap tommrow.. It does seem to run really rich at idle like u said. I doubt there mixed up but that would deffiently make sense! I will check tommrow! Thanks bro!

o yea is there anyway my resister box could be somehow causing this?? I dont know why i think this but for somereason i think its in the injectors somwhere?? Anyway to physically check the resister box i wired in?

Are you running a resistor box with dsm 450's? The old "blue top" 1st gens require a resistor box, you'd know if it wasn't hooked up right. In the obd1 connector plug there's 1 12v power in, and the connector branches it to the other 4 wires leading to the injectors. Just find which wire is power, splice it into the red wire on the resistor box, and all the yellows from it go to the low impedance injectors.
Otherwise, if you have high impedance injectors (standard obd1 style) it'll def. not run right with a resistor box. If you're not sure, do an ohms test on the injectors to find out which one's you have.

dam it throw that car away. sorry im useless

Is it minimed? im sorry, im at school and i glanced through the post from what i kno it sounds like a minime formt he 3 posts i read, my friend did a minime with a vtec ecu and it idled like the bitch was cammin, we later found out after tons of work that he jsut had a damn auto ecu, so check them simple things first, cuz i punch people int he dick that forget to check the simplest

not a minime swap.. JUst a stock d16z6...

lol rene thats honestly what i want to do... This car has been raping me...
