OK i got a crashed 91 integra im gonna pull the motor out to put in my hatch. I want to get the motor running right before i do the swap. The engine will run fine until it gets warm then it starts to miss and sputter. I have replaced plugs, cap, rotor, and o2 sensor.

Any suggestions will help Thanks in advance

i have done a search but if i missed something can some one post a link to the thread if there is one

i bought it crashed so im not sure supposedly its a lower mile motor like 80-90,000 mi could it be plug wires or possibly not the right gap?

your timing could be off too..check the plugs first tho..could be an easy problem

it was one bad plug wire and now its running good but burning oil enough to make it smoke should i worry about it before i do the swap or just leave it....i have ls/vtec plans for the future within next year

It could also be a head gasket that is craked. The same problem happend to me, but it wasent from a crash. Check that out.

Timing wouldnt make a diffirence it it runs fine when its cold and messes up when its hot. If it was the timing then you would be able to see it from the start up.

Check around the head for any thing that looks like oil. There is just no telling what could be wrong unless you look at all the possibilitys.
It could be many other things. Valves. rings and so on. Oil looses it density as it heats up, so that causes it to leak threw messed up valves or rings easy causing the engine to run like shit.

I would focus more on the possiblity of bad gaskets, seals, and rings.

i definately disagree. b4 i did my timing my car ran fine cold until it reached normal op temps and then it ran like shit and had no go. the timing was off by a tooth on the belt advanced- and the dizzy was pretty advanced itself. after that was all fixed ran same at all temps.

thats cool u got the motor running good now. im sure u got a hell of a deal for that teg, and a unmolested low mileage B can be hard to find sumtimes.

yup i got a really good deal actually $250 for whole car and im gonna fix that later and put a gsr motor in it. All thats wrong with it is a quarter panel and a control arm is bent. I can actually get another b18a1 just the motor for about $200 there are 4 sitting in the junkyard complete right now at least until i rape them..hahaha
