hey guys, its been a long while since ive been on here, and of course, i come back with questions. ok i recently swapped my second gen hf motor for a d16a6. in the swap we used the hf harness (im still cant remember why we didnt use the si harness). but anyway, the car hasnt ever really ran just right, the idle would throb, and sometimes even die, until it warmed up. and it would throw two 02 sensor errors and an electrical load error. it would seem the timing was off, but adjusting it didnt really help, replaced the spark plugs and wires, and the fuel pump. well a few days ago i was on my way home from out of town, i let my brother drive. he rev'd a little high without letting off the clutch :roll: . and ever since then, the car wont rev over about 3300rpm and seems to choke down when you apply gas. we took it to a shop, and he seems to think theres a problem with the wiring on the intake mani. i am not positive the vacuum lines are attatched just right, as the hf had 4, where the d16 has 2, so theres 2 vacuum lines we plugged. i looked through some repair manuals and such, but couldnt find a good picture of where these lines go, as theres a black box covering everything on the hf. theres also a strong gas smell on take off, so its running rich.
ive tried to explain what i can, im just getting sick of the car :x . if anyone has any idea where to start to identify the electrical load problem, or any of these symptoms i would greatly appriciate it.
the d16 is in good shape to say the least.
hf harness(which means we are missing one of the sensors on the back of the intake mani.)
new plugs/wires/fuel filter/distro. cap
stock internals
edit: also im wondering if the hf fuel pump is different from the si. and what about throttle position sensor, could that have something to do with my rich problems? theres a cap on top of the fuel filter, can that be adjusted? we just tightened it down, but it look to be adjustable in some way.
