Crx b16... big problems

I just finished doing a b16a1 obdo swap into my 1991 rex... everything is wired up right and seems to be fine except for one huge problem... the motor won't rev higher than 3400 rpms... in any gear... it just dimply cuts all gas and air and i get a coughing sound....the motor kepps running... it doesnt stall or anything. but i cant do anything with a vtec motor that wont rev high enough for me to hit vtec... can anyone help me out?

check the timing

What codes are you throwing...Your running in limp mode. I was doing the same thing for a while. It's not your timing. It has something to do with either vacume, or wiring. Make sure your knock sensor is plugged in and that plug on the back of your ITM. I put a skunk 2 on mine, and forgot to plug in the sensor on the IKE valve, and I was running in limp.

Don't forget to check your codes. Thats a dead give away.

I'm throwing a code 4 and a code 6

code 4. check crank angle sensor and wiring. check continuity.

check your engine coolant temp sensor with the code 6. check wiring or change sensors.

PS:

here's some reference for ya

I am throwing a 1 and 6 in my car. Of course the o2 sensor because there is sapposed to be 2, but I am also throwing a 6. Your car will still run fine with the sensor not working. It should only effect start-up. Mine surges a little, but only until it's warm, but thats also the uberdata being gay.

The crank angle sensor is mostlikely what is causing you to run in limp. Get that fixed, and your problems should be solved, and if thats not the problem hey, atleast its not throwing a CEL anymore :smokin: :naughty: . Good Luck man. tell me if any of this helps.

if the crank angle sensor itself is bad, you'll have to get a completely new (used) dizzy. i got one on ebay, but it wasn't as cheap as the guys here were saying it'd be. i had to pay about $45 total with shipping. not that bad for a major car part...
