Motor Sawp Thanks!
Just wanted to say thanks to all you people out there that helped me through my engine swap, etc. I don't think it would have ever gotten without your help... least it would have takin a lot longer. But thanks especially to westcoaststyle and phiz for the most help/answers. Anyhow here's where I stand....
Jumped my ecu to get the codes and I was only getting 2!! Sweet huh! 06 - Engine Coolant Temp circuit and 22 - VTEC Oil Pressure Switch.
The sensor for the colant temp I had my boy test and it was bad. Replaced it problem solved
The vtec oil pressure switch does not come on jdm motors (note to self). Therefore I had to buy a usdm solenoid housing for this since my obd1 usdm computer is lookin for it. Not cheap (Acura - $270), but found it at shofast for $60 shipped. Get that later this week and I SHOULD (hopefully) be all set:thumbup:
Anyhow heres a list for those of you that care of final work that needs to be done....
1. Install vtec solenoid housing to have vtec again and get rid of engine light and 6800rpm rev limit:naughty:
2. Purchased hose from sofast ($50) to get power steering functional
3. Adjust throttle cable slack... to much! Have to add some bolts to push the plate back a little.
4. Detail motor/car and tkae pics for u guys
And finally I end with a question... I noticed there is a good amount of carbon deposit in my exhaust pipe. Any ideas?
Thanks again guys.... I'm out! Going to put my new wheels on finally
