hey all i need some urgent help
i have just completed a b18c7 conversion in to my ek4 civic
i have replaced timing belt,water pump,new clutch,plugs,leads
i have a problem with idling problem, the engine is running very rich
when im driving it would run great untill i let got of the accelerator then it would stall
if i rev the engine then let go it would stall
i have tried another ecu and it would do the same problem
all vaccum hoses are not leaking
i have done a comp test ( 250 250 240 250 )
there are no codes coming up

im hoping if some 1 has ran in to the same problem for some advice
any help would be great

thanks

Check ur map sensor to see if its the wrong one, theres two similar sensors that look the same around the Throttle body

My friend had the same problem in a ek with b18/b20
it wouldn't idle and die straight away
if you drove it and let go it would stall straight away unless u rev'd it
his motor is running rich also..
problem was with the MAP sensor being plugged into the wrong plug
so he switched them both around ( they look really similar to something near Map sensor)

get a HONDATA lol.. nah!

it could well be the MAP and TPS (i think TPS) as they both have the same plug and wires both reach to the sensors.

Yea i will get a hondata as soin as i get it running properly
The only problem Is there is no 1 in adelaide to tune it so i will have to drive to melbourne to get it tuned
