i had that problem on a rex i put a b16 in hit revlimiter right at 3500 it ended up being one of the ecus pins wasnt pushed all the way in so check those pins and the pins on the distributer plugs on the dizzy side and harness side hope this helps

 

No prob, just make sure you check your a/f after getting the new one installed. You could be running overly rich, which would just cause it to clog again. I suppose you could also use brake parts cleaner too, just to check the problem.

 

DIZZY problem is the only thing that will throw and OBD-0 car into LIMP mode. and thats were you at. GET RID OF YOU CEL's. if your car has a check engine light something is NOT right. damn rocket science. LOL

 

i had the same problem in my b16 crx but it wouldnt let me rev past 3 grand it turned out to be my o2 sensor wired to the wrong pinout of the ecu

check your wiring it could be the problem

 

Its the TDC sensor in your dist. Its either a lose wire in the dist. or it could be a bad dist all together. Usually the wires just get old and brittle so check for bare wires or lose wires

 

hey jay i had this problem twice one was in jamies swapped hb we did not have the injector clip on all the way and on my crx it did the same but min was a ecu pin was not all the way in

 

i still have no clue what it is, it is now backfiring when i drive it hard lkike around 4k with my foot to the floor, it just backfires and then itll backfire enough to give me a CEL and send it into limp mode and nail the rev limiter at 3500.. have no clue but it does sound like deatonation, what else could cause this stuff?

could it be a timing issue, could it have something to do with me running open header? what is it!!!!!!!

EDIT: the car actually did not do any of this until i unbolted my exhaust.....

 

could it be my ignitor in my dizzy?

 

remember, we never checked where the timimg's at since it's all the way adv. it might be too far.
