87 crx - d16a1 and ecu out of 88 integra- everything mounted up except some wires--located in sarasota

motor has been worked over but all parts belong to the motor---no v tec

sounds like an ignition problem check you plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor, and make sure your dist matches your ecu.

Is your crx a si? Is the motor multi port or dual port? Are all the parts from the motor i.e. the injectors and dist. from the same generation? Obd 0. Take a spark plug out and ground it to the head, have someone start the car and make sure your getting spark. What is the ecu code?

D16A1 Acura Integra 1986-1987

try swaping you're tps & map sensor plugs... i wired a buddy's b16 into his ek & his car was doing exactly what you're car is & all that was wrong was the tps/map plugs where swapped
