Here's the problem... I bought a crx with a B16A. When I got it, it would barely start so I checked the check engine light code and the problem was the Coolant Temp Sensor. I wired that up right and the car fired right up and ran beautifully. It was the most fun I ever had driving... until about an hour later when it started stuttering while I was driving down the road. It got worse and worse until it died and then it wouldn't start again. I can't remember if it only stuttered when I pressed on the gas or all the time. It is very hard to start and when it does, i can drive it out of the driveway but after about 10 seconds of driving, it stutters and dies. I checked the sparkplugs and it is getting fuel and the sparkplugs are firing. Anybody know why it is doing this? I have been messing around with it for weeks now when I should be out driving it :( Thanks.

It ran when I bought it. I just put it into storage right away for the winter. It wouldn't start once it got cold out because of the ECT sensor being wired in wrong.

i've heard of the map sensor not being the correct one and having to take one of a 90-93 integra for it to work right
