civic dizzy

does anyone know if any d14 dizzy will fit mine or could i put any d series dizzy on cause im running out of ideas of what to keep changing so im wondering could it be that that is making it feel like its miss fireing

Its missfiring?

if there's one at a scrap yard just pull the plug off and look at the pettern if its the same as yours then its good to go.

Iv got a couple of dizzies off D series, lmk stevo

lol hey that rhyms lol well ive kind of run out of ideas of wots wrong with it but the only way a can put it is its like a miss fire when the throtle is barely open doin 30 or 40

i had a weird intermitent missfire on the teg, turned out to be just water in one of the spark plug well's.
got it all out and was fine.

ye that sound like the leads or dizzy breaking down to me, or because you changed the inlet to a z6 one it might be fuel to air etc..

ive though about the fuel air mix but how would i go about ajusting it would i need to get a fuel pressure reg n take it to some one like admin

i think the ideally you'd need to tune it with a map dyno etc, there is an adjuster on those throttle bodies that for the fuel mixture, you need a flat head to turn it.

exactly what i thought at the time, untill i found the cause

sounds odd steve-o - not sure what else to suggest

well its only started since changing the inlet to a side mounted one but i didnt change the gaskets we just used the old ones so im thinking that might be the next thing to do after the dizzy as well as changing the air fuel mix and gettin the timing done then im out of ideas i shall chuck the engine out cut a hole in the floor n flinstone it everywhere

its always good to change gaskets but if sumat was up with the old one there would of been an air leak and caused it to rev and die etc

if you've had nothing checked then it could be anythin really...

yea thats just my problem damn u car damn u i wash ya tax ya im careful where i park ya n how do ya re pay me lol its like marryin a girl that farts in ya cereal every morning its just not nice or even right lol

LOL!

I would get a new gasket either way then, could be leaning it out at certain rpm before the fuel pressure builds, if it cures it bonus if not atleast you can rule it out and have a fresh new gasket.

I doubt you would need to resort to mapping/tuning

it could well be that if ya whale the life out of it u ould never know but whenur in steath mode thats when it does it u would think it would be the other way round lol well ive brought a dizzy so thats being changed then im gonna get me a new gasket might change the throtle bodie gasket while im at it

tbh mine is similar atm, its completely flat and stuttering on partial throttle at low rpm's, i just put it down to the lit u dash atm but if you have it too it might be something else....hmmm

ste if your saying when you floor it you dont notice it then i doubt its the dizzy usually if that was the cas then im sure you'd notice it more being as its trying to spark faster, try it anyway i may be wrong, but im sure as a team we can sort the problem.

when you changed the inlet did you notice a drastic change in mpg??

to be fair its never been great on fuel n now me cats gone lol ive only ever noticed it since aving the new inlet on i would love it if we could figure out wots wrong with it ive changed the dizzy and it ran like a dog till i ajusted it but it still look like its got the fault im hoping chris can sort the timing and stuff out next week i think my next thing will to do will be change the inlet gasket

maybe its time to get rid and start a fresh!
i'd have had enough of the niggley faults by now

i wouldent say get rid just because of that little fault, like i say always its proberly sumat stupid.

well if i wanted to change the look of my car and was havin problems i'd look into just gettin rid
nothin like starting a fresh on a new car :-)

If i did that i wouldnt have my EK the way it is now, just keep at it steve-o, once you have tried something just come at it from a different angle and im sure we can sort it

i have got rid in the past for there being major problems but somethin so little and as daft as that i really wouldent be bothered but niggly little things can sometimes be the worst.

yea ive come close a few times to selling up but thats why im thinking if i can sort it out n and change the look of it will be alright again its booked in for service monday and then with chris to sort the timing and stuff out but after changing the dizzy its done nothing to improve it

super + and a lighter
