So i just recently did a obd2 h22a swap but changed the injectors dizzy and ecu to be obd1 but its only running on two cylinders! all wires are wired up no check engine light. Ive checked and changed a number of things in the past couple days. New cap and rotor, new plugs and wires. i did do a timing belt when the motor was out and everything was top dead center almost positive im going to check the timing belt again tomorrow. we did a compression check made sure everything was good no lower than 235 they were a little scattered but nothing major! Im lost i dnt know what else to do but i can walk out too my car start it and pull cylinder 1 and 4 and the car will still run.. but it runs like crap and sounds like a subaru any ideas?

Check your firing order. As simple as it sounds, something could've gotten criss crossed.Last edited by 91H22ACB7; 09-02-2011, 11:35 AM.1991 Accord Ex - H22A - Omnipower Coilovers - Greddy SP2

changing the dizzy internals yourself isnt really smart if you dont know what your doing. i dont thing its as simple as pulling parts out and stuffing new parts in. were the plugs wet with fuel or oil? i assume fuel. replace them before starting the engine. they are done now. i would say its the dizzy thats giving you the problem. i would get a new or remanufactured one

why are you even trying to engage vtec when the engine isnt running right? do you want to blow it up? so 2 and 3 are getting no spark? try a different ecu. you can use your accord ecu. just dont be an idiot and rev the shit out of it. get it running right before you even attempt to hit vtec. that rpm range is dangerous for an engine that isnt running right and if you do manage to engage vtec and theres a spark or fuel problem you could really break something.

If you do not have a stock P13 Handy the stock accord ecu will idle the h22 just fine, but with some check engine lights
The ECU still has a fail safe so it should still be able to idle properly
Are the injectors wired in properly?
Are you running a resistor box?
You can run the OBD2 injectors but you have to remove the resistor box

Ok so i got the ecu it solve my iab issue and i did the timing belt again so no misfires.. but now my car still won't idle when i start it up on a cold start it idle's around 700 this is a cold start normally hondas idle around 1500-2000 on a cold start! soo i took it out on a drive and when it heated up everytime i would come to a stop light or stop sign it would stall/bog out any ideas? still no check engine lights etc

And make sure your throttle line is adjusted correctly (not too loose, not too tight)
Dont forget to check ignition timing as well.
