    finally got tthe new engine in. misses bad

    Well, when YOU dry out, make sure sure your plug valley is dried out. And spray a little starting fluid or carb cleaner in isolated parts of the engine, to see if there's a vacuum leak. popular spots for this are- the throttle body gasket, and the lower intake manifold gasket.

    LED Climate Control Conversion Question

    You know- you could have just bought one of mine like a month ago. But I digress... The green screen requires that you remove the front black 'panel' that says TEMP on it. Look through the back of the faceplate, and you'll see a small round hole next to the green plastic. use a pencil's...

    New Motor Is Trashed, Fix?

    SIP gasket- same brand as cometic? If so, those people are talking about a rivet on the mhg that is so poorly placed, that it interferes with the mating surface, requiring it's removal prior to assembly.

    New guy needs a little help

    Buy a civic. Ok, ok. 1. Did you prep the head and block surfaces for that HKS hg? If not, you need to take both to a machine shop so they can get you a mirror finish. It's the only way that HG will seal. Might have been your original problem. 2. What kind of PCV system are you...

    finally got tthe new engine in. misses bad

    Any- and I mean ANY- water around the plugs will cause the spark energy to ground to the head instead of the plug. The missing under load that you describe is the exact issue i had when coolant got into the valley. If you haven't already, make sure that all the plug boots are absolutely bone dry.

    Heater Control valve vacuum lines

    Do you mean a difference between the 7mGE and 7mgte? If so, then yes, there's a difference. For one thing, the GE has a vacuum resevoir, mounted under the intake manifold. I'm not sure how the lines match up, going over to the heater vsv. Why not look at the diagram under your hood? It'll be...

    Cant figure this one out :(, help!!

    Yup- you have a fuel issue. Timing should be around 10 degrees btc, so check it as well. But check TSRM for troubleshooting diagnosis.

    Idle problem

    sounds like you might have the safc tuned to run it too rich. This is completely a guess of course, but sounds like you have the opposite of a vacuum leak- ie: too much air for the fuel. Rather, you might have too much fuel for the air. It would explain why rpms would drop to almost normal when...
