my bad.. see the attached pix

 

Ok.. here is another pix

 

Yo Droopy! Thank you!

So I got tiered of all the parts not quite fitting right. Turns out that the motor in my 1992 Civic is a 1996-200 D16y7!!!! So pissed! So I'm thinking that I don't know the history behind this motor so maybe I should swap a B16 into her? What do y'all think?

 

I wouldn't recommend the swap, your Y7 should be fine if you don't have any major problem with it.. I currently have a Y7 in my 91 civic, and it runs great.

 

So I should suck it up and by a throttle body on line huh?

 

***** ****IN UPDATE!!!!

I've:
Cleaned and rebuilt the throttle body
Rewired the Map and TPS
Replaced the wires and plugs
Replaced the fuel filter and cleaned out the fuel hoses

So now she starts right up!! But the question I have now is, since its a 1998 EX motor should I have an ECU to match? I've got a 1992 ECU in it and I can't seem to get her to idle below 3000RPM. Any tips?

 

The OBD1 system can control a D16Y8 just fine. Many people do that so they can chip the ECU and add a turbo. Mechanically it's the same cc size so the ECU wouldn't know the difference. It works simplest to use only the new block and head and keep the manifolds, distributor, wiring, etc. that came with the 1992 car. If you're using the 1998 intake it needs to be the manual EX manifold with the 2 wire IACV because the OBD1 never used 3 wire IACVs. Also make sure that your TPS voltage starts at 0.4 volts and increases to about 4.5 as you open the throttle (key on, but engine not running).

The only way it would be able to idle that fast is to have extra air leaking into the intake manifold. Perhaps the throttle plate is not closing fully, disconnected hose, blown brake booster, or bad gasket.

 

mk378, THANK YOU!! But, I'm done with trying to fix this. I'm dumping my money into a complete swap. So as soon as I find a place to do it, I'll be back on the road.
