Hey guys, had the h22a swap done into my 90 EX Accord Auto not quite a year ago. These problems have been going on since the beginning.
Problem 1: When I first start my car, it idles rough and has a real hard time reving past 3k rpm. After about a quarter of a mile of stop and go in my subdevision, everything will be fine. During this time, I can't rev past 6k and the vtec dosnt hit.
Problem 2: After the car warms up a bit and problem 1 goes away, everything is just great. VTEC hits at 5k rpm, good acceleration, all is well. After a bit of driving in the city my vtec will eventually stop working and I'll have a 6k rpm rev limiter again. I assume this is the "safe mode" everyone talks about. The CEL dosnt come on or anything, and after I let the car sit for a few minutes, everything is fine again.
Problem 3: When I first got the motor, the dude that put it in said I was missing a little black box that's supposed to be under my intake manifold. He said that was supposed to control m secondaries. Later on, another guy said I could use the box from my stock intake and it would do the same thing. He went ahead and put that in and it works great for awhile, then my low end gets really bogged down and accelerating to 4k is really sluggish. Past 4k is fine though. Do you guys know the name of the box? Do you know why the secondaries will be fine for awhile, usually longer than the vtec, and then later on it seems like they are wide open all the time and my low end sucks. Once again, if I shut the car off for a while, this problem goes away.
If anyone has any ideas or clues, please clue me in. Thanks guys.
