    cb7 rought idle

    ok so its been a while since i posted on here, last time i was on here i was a total noob... things have changed


    ive done tons of research for my idle issue, first thing i know is to figure out why the check engine light is on, first off I own a 1992 honda accord with 5spd,
    when i got the car it wouldn't start so i read on the forums that i could use a auto ecu from a cb7, did that got the car to start 37820-pt3-a03 non cali ecu the ecu that came with the car is 37820-pt6-a11, for a few days check engine light would come on when driving, when i parked and turned it off then drove it again the light would return after driving for a while, car would have high slight loopy idle but would go away, after few days check eng light would no longer come on but started to notice the car bogg down at about 3k while cruising in 4th, now it does it in any gear at 3k and check engine light returned.

    So what is the code your CEL is throwing? I would start there first.
    Once we figure out what the code is then we can tell you where to go from there.

      Check your CEL code.

      On top of that, use the search option...

        I beg to differ.
        Check the code. Fix the problem. Find another PT6 ECU, since that PT3 isn't tuned for your camshaft or set up to run the IAB system on your F22A6 (I assume that's what you have, since you had a PT6 originally.)

          yes it is f22a6, and i got conflicting info, before i checked here on the other sites everyone said the auto and manual ecu are the same, this is kinda the reason why ive been building s13s and drifting them, ill post what the the code is in a bit, but since you said the ecu is wrong would that trip the code?

            It shouldn't. The code should be the same.

            Manual and automatic ECUs are not the same. You CAN use an automatic ECU with a manual with only minor issues, but you cannot use a manual ECU with an automatic.

              Did you just say that because you were told that the automatic and manual PT-series of ECUs were the same you began building and drifting S13s?

              I'm with everyone else. If you're elevated above noob status and have also been building and drifting other cars then you should have the ability and the intuition to know to check for the particular code you're throwing.

                I'm no pro, but I know for a fact that idle is coolant/air related in hondas. Clean your valves, IACV, Fast idle.
                Check: Vacum leaks, air in coolant, Egr valve + passages. (6ports)

                And yes... get a pt6 AT.

                Have fun

                  No jarrett, ive been building and drifting 240sx i have a coupe with a chevy 5.3l engine that i installed, i also have a hatchback with the s14 ka eninge tomi stage to cams upgraded 370cc injectors z32 maf and z32tt upgraded fuel pump, but that's besides the point, and deevergote my cb7 is a factory manua car as i stated above that pt6 was the ecu in the car when i bought it that was ruined due to window open, the ecu in it now is the pt3, by the way I may have found the problem bad seals from spark plug tubes, when i removed the plugs #1cyl and #4 have a decent amount of oil, so i am also removing the assembly in a few min and replacing those seals along with the valve cover gasket, ill post find with the CEL i now have a wire i can plug into the jumper.

                    What a backwards way of diagnosing.

                    Oil in the plugs won't cause a CEL.

                    A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

                    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

                      i am not done diag the car and how can that be backwards, if the oil fouls out the plugs it can cause the car to run rought tripping the cel due to engine misfire, anyway replaced the seals got new sparkplugs, still need to find metal pin to push into jumper, also wanting to clean iacv, ill post more updates

                        OBDI doesn't have missfire codes.

                        Diagnose the code first.

                            So it's been what, 10 days since you made this thread, and you haven't checked the code yet? Seriously dude, it takes 30 seconds.

                              The oil covered plugs is very common, but I have never seen it throw a cel. It can cause a bit of a rough idle but you most likely have something more going on as well. Didn't hurt to fix that issue though. You can jump that connector with alot of things shouldn't be hard to find something.
