i have a 91 crx si with a jdm b16a1 swap thats been giving my sometrouble lately, and i was wondering if anybody might be able to give me an idea of what might be the problem or problems.
Anyways, here are the problems....
first off, when i try to start the car, it sometimes wont start right away, like it takes a minute to fire up, where as it used to fire right up all the time. it does this when it's cold and hasnt ran for a bit,
secondly, when started and while just idling, it will surge and never stays at a steady rpm, usually goes from like 600 to about 1500 rpm's or so.
thirdly...it tends to run hot, well, the temp will go from normal to almost in the red then back down to normal to barely above half back to normal back up to the red sometimes stay there for a few min then back down to norm... i'm not too sure, but to me it seems that sometimes if its close to the red and i rev it up some for a sec it will cool back down... i dont know what's goin on...
fourth... sometimes it will smoke from the exaust, a white kind of smoke and smell like antifreeze, the heater inside the car also smells of antifreeze, so yeah...
and finally... the vtec does not work anymore, no clue why or if any of the other things have anything to do with it...
if anybody might have any ideas as to what might cause these sorts of things, i'd really appreciate it if you could help me out..
