Well a couple months ago I swapped in a f20a SOHC cuz my old engine was old and had alot of problems. The engine is great, but its under warranty still and i have a few questions i would like to ask before the warranty expires:
1. Sometimes, after the car has been running for a while and its up to temp, if i shut it off and then try to start it again it starts, revs up, then dies. If i try to start it again rite away, nothing, it'll just keep turning over but wont start. If i give it a couple minutes, starts fine. I was thinking main relay, but it revs up on that first try so i wasnt sure.
2. On a rare occasion sometimes when the car is cold and i give it al little gas in nuetral the revs will bounce up and down even if im holding the gas, it does it sometimes also when i give it gas and let go. It wont do this in gear, and usually if i put it in gear, move it a bit, and then go back to nuetral it will just go back to normal. I think its connected to the IAC cuz for a couple minutes after i cleaned it, it was giving me a check engine light and the revs would bounce when i gave it gas, now its a rare occasion though.
3. When the engines still cold, if im driving down the street at low speeds and i take my foot off the gas, the car will sort of "buck" back and forth pretty violently, as soon as i give it gas or clutch its fine. Im NOT a newb to standard, and none of the other cars ive had have done this to me so i was just wondering. By "buck" i mean like when your driving normal, and you suddenly let go of the gas, the car kinda bounces a bit... its like this but instead of a bounce its a bang lol.
4. Is oil in the intake pipe a bad thing?
Sorry about the length and quantity of my questions, i just wanna make sure i cover all my angles while the engines still warrantied. Thanks in advance for ur help.
OH BTW im new here... just bought my cb7 from a friends parents, this is a great site and i plan to frequent it often as this car has now become my "project" lol... thanks again!
