I am back!!!! with questions...

[T-Mo]

Whats going on people. I am back in the game again. For those that don't know me, I sold my hatch, missed it badly after selling, and now I am back with another one that I came up on. I think I got a good deal on it. We traded cars. I had an '87 Intega that was clean (just painted) and I paid $350 for. Thats the total price including paint. :thumbup: and this guy had a '90 Hatch w/d16z6 swap, lowered, 6 pc wing west kit, GSR front seats, si rear seats, gsr console, and more. He couldn't figure out why it wasn't running.

I just finished picking it up tonight and it is giving a code 9 and code 16. One thing that puzzles me is that he is using a Si computer on this set up. Could this be a problem?? I will look closer into it tomorrow when its daylight outside, just trying to get a head start on it though. I forgot to add that the car starts and runs but cuts out at 2500rpms, if this helps any.

the d16z6 is vtec right? if so i believe it needs the vtec computer, but thats if its wired for obd1, if its still wired for obd0 then i think u can use the Si computer and run an rpm activated switch for the vtec, the code 16 is for the fuel injectors, could be cutting out because ones not working, there clogged etc...... hope something here helps

oh yea, Welcome Back!!!!!!!

Code 9 (9 flashes) No. 1 cylinder position (1.6L)
Code 16 (16 flashes) Fuel injector
i would say look around and see if the computer matters, wild shot in the dark, and especally if he hasnt had the new moter runnen, i would say its the computer

not a computer problem...more sounds like they messed up when doing the MPFI wiring

which is probably why they traded look over the wiring and let us know whats going on. that way it can be sorted out

[amy@af]

not to go OT but did your brother ever get his army thing dealt with? i hope it all worked out

i'm just happy ur back

if it's a dx...and and an mpfi swap was performed...then it definitely sounds like a mpfi problem. I don't think they wired the resistor box/injectors right or the distributor.

the pm6 si ecu will run a sohc vtec without any problems....just won't engage vtec that's all.

Yes he did. He fought it to the end and now he is out. He didn't go to war at all. We wrote the congressmen and got other people involved because the group that he was assigned to was handling his situation all wrong and illegal. My brother pulled out his contracts, got info off the net, he was basically his own lawyer. LOL anyways the platoon he was assigned to got in some big trouble and he of course is here at home chilling.

Ok on to a few pics that I snapped tonight. This is they way he has the distributor wired. I believe the dist. code said something like TD-18u?? Can anyone lead me to some good wiring diagrams for this engine??

[civickiller]
