What's up nobody replies...has no one done an engine swap?....Hello,
I just did my B16A2 DOHC Vtec engine swap on my civic and th 160 hp with my Iceman, Ractive catback and DC headers kick ass. It is really fast now. I paid $2,800 for everything including tranny, ECU, A/C compressor and bigger radiator and new Performance CLuth...quite a deal ah? Yet I have a couple of questions:

-There is a check engine light on the dash lit that doesn't go off.Is there a way to fix this? Is is a sensor problem?
-The car makes a whistle at the wheels on 1st and 2nd gear but then it goes normal while accelerating.
-While stopped, the rpm moves from 1,000 to 2,000 without accelerating it, that is at stop, from 1,000to 2,000 back and forth and the car accelerates by itself while stoped.
-The clutch is weird on 1st gear, it takes the car off but shaking the chasis competely on 1st...is this because the clutch is new? and how long should I wait until I can race this clutch badly...? can'twait.

All replies and suggestions will be appreciated. Keep racing....

whoa, sounds wierd but it might be some bad problems.... I never heard of swaps doing that, nor new clutch kits.....

hey we have the same swap

as for your question , i have one theory your engine is possess accel by it self ? its gotta be that

ps: the whistle is your cai

 

[Juggles]

You might want to rephrase that second question. A car can't accelerate while stopped.

I think he just means it revving while stopped. As if hes pressing the gas on and off.

I dunno why it would do that...

Engine

I think he just means it revving while stopped. As if hes pressing the gas on and off.

Right...that's exactly what it is doing from 1,000rpm to 2,000 rpm back and forth. Also does anybody knows if the intake manifold gives great hp gains? and where I could find one and also cool blue gauges?

can we get anymore smiley faces in a post????? that defenently sets a record!!!

j/k its pretty kewl though

Who did the install, and where did you get the engine from? You may want to go back to where ever did the install because it sounds like you have a few problems you need to work out.

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Air is getting in that the ECU doesn't know about.

Check your vacuum lines.

and check the ecu wiring if every wire isnt sauldered you will get a check engine light, I also had an idle problem. I had that problem for awhile w/ mine.
MAP(red/green wires werent sauldered just wire beaned)that fixed it

good lord.. lets take this down one by one.. this is wut i think
-check the ecu code by jumping the service plug located under the passenger side dash... and then fix the problem...you can find the ecu codes here:

-whistle? i dont get...
-check the idle air control valve...
-and yah its probably chattering cuz its a new clutch.. just give it time to break in.. patience is virtue.. hehehe
