Re: I am back!!!! with questions...

someone on Honda-tech pointed out the valve cover thing. Hopefully its just a change of valve cover. The block says d16z6. thanks for the help so far people!!

Re: I am back!!!! with questions...

that wiring looks like anus. Its absolutely horrendous!
I would think that it's wired wrong just by looking at the pictures you took. it doesn't look like he knew what he was doing. You should trace each wire from the dizzy back to the ecu with a continuity tester or multimeter.
valve cover sucks...lol.

The td 18u is the 88-91 civic/crx si distributor. That distributor isn't supposed to be able to bolt to that head without modification. Can you look on the head and tell me what head code it is? What engine code does it say on the block? Maybe it's a d15z1 head on a z6 block...
it's kinda confusing...
does the distributor legs look modified at all?

Re: I am back!!!! with questions...

thanks for the help everyone. We solved them problem today. #3 cylinder wasn't firing because the injector was bad. Got 4 injectors (only needed 1) from the junkyard and everything is running fine.

As far as wiring everything is cool. He and a friend must have done the bootlegging trying to figure it out, because the rest of the wiring is soldered and everything. Just on that distributor part is where it is looking bad.

We had to change the oil because the injector was sticking open, i guess, causing it to flood. The oil was thin as water too.
