Okay so iv been doing my swap myself and everything was good motor is in, vtec is wired, running on a chipped p28, i converted the obd2 dizzy to obd1 plugs and the alt too. car starts. car starts overheating so i turn it off add more coolant and its fine. 1st drive around the block and everything is good. then the battery dies. speedometer stops working. dont have an rshared_pm gauge yet so i dont know where its idleing but it sounds too high. and when i jump the battery the car is fine for like 5 mins then it starts to die again and when it does i press the gass and it sound like a 2step or misfiring like its not getting any gas or its a fuel cut. and i have to jump it again when i come to a full stop it cuts out at the peddle too. 3rd jump and im driving a little starting to feel the furl cut coming and the radiator starts to leak and spray everywhere. my question is where did i go wrong? alt not charging the battery but then y the fuel cut off feeling. dizzy i wired using the diagram but some of the wires in the online diagram we not there and were other colors. i got a new radiator and battery but havent installed the last radiator also was really old and beatup. some1 please tell me where i went wrong cause or iff u need more info let me know

95 eg
jdm gsr 97 obd2
obd2 dizzy concerted plugs
obd2 alt converted plugs
vtec wired
p28

 

Sounds like a bad alternator. And if your battery is weak it will cause the car to run like crap and die. Remember its fuel injected it need a power source to run the ecu and injectors. B ut also make sure you have a good ground, as it could be that you missed a ground somwhere being a fresh swap

 

thank you. its always good 2 know ppl can help on TR. im 100 percent i did the alt correct but i could have just been not working at all to start with but i got another 1 so im gonna try it one more time. another question is i know i did all the grounds i saw but is there like a diagram of how many grounds should b on the motor cause im sure the main ones i have.

 

Honestly I can´t remember but I beleive in hondas there is one to the valve cover on the tranny and maybe one on the block and also the one to the chassis

 

there is one valve cover to chassis then tranny 2 chassis then there 1 on the pass side to the chassis but it was in the fusebox to the motor but it wouldnt start so i put it in the chassis and it work.

 

there is one on the thermostat. also the dizzy wiring is easy, the wires go in the same place as if you took the 1 plug and cut it into 2. if you can understand what that means. the colors are differant during differant years.

 

yea i know that i did all my wiring over new alt radiator and hoses all new clamps motor is running great
