Civic EG

not sure whats goin on, but when its cold getttin to 7500rpms is no problem but as it warms up it bearly makes 6500rpms, i just did a tune up and had the timing redone thinking that it was off , and it also does not tach out at all .when it actually gets to 7500(either sittin still or cold) it just stays at 7500 and wont go ne higher not sure if thas good or not but does ne one have any ideas wht it might be ... i was thinkin maybe something with the computer but there is a CEL but i think its cuz the o2 sensor is not hooked up

try hooking up your o2 sensor before redlining your engine I don't think you'll ever sell a used engine on this site now

that probly will help but i had a 97 civic ex with the y8 in it and it had a CEL for the o2 sensor but it ran fine but ya never know ima go try and get the old o2 sensor off the old manifold an see wht happens damn hondas its always the small things but i still love em

haha yeah x2...hook up that o2 sensor and clear the CEL before red-lining

wanting a non vtec D series to go higher than 6500 to begin with! much less 7500. My SOHC VTEC doesnt even hit 7500.

these are the codes i got

15 Ignition output signal

41 Primary oxygen sensor heater

the harness where the connectors for the distributor are alll hacked up and one wire is actually is bearly connecting so that might explain # 15 ( will try and rewire it or get new connectors)

but now for #41 i know the sensor isnt hooked up but its not flashing # 1 or even a # 61

when i get off work i might buy a o2sensor and see wht happens

I would avoid driving the car like that. Hacked up wiring can cause big problems when they short. Bad o2 sensors can cause your car to run too rich or lean, causing premature cat failure or detonation which can lead to the end of your engine.

hmm i might just try and get one now and have it sent to the job , and i havnet been beatin on it since i checked the codes i might just let it sit at home till its fixed

reving a cold engine to 7500 = i want a new motor

yea i was a lil fed up with the car so thas why i was beatin on it,but the other day the distributor died probly exlplains code 15 and it was probly struggling atfter 5 grand cuz the vtec solenoid wire was cut..... i now think i should of look at the car more b4 i just went and bought it oh well u learn from ur mistakes

gotta love craigslist

is it a 1992? 92 distributors are known for wearing out. The bearings on mine went in 2002. I bought a new shell from the dealer and swapped all the electrical guts from my old dizzy. much cheaper than a whole new dizzy...

its a 95 hopefully i should be gettin my new dizzy 2day after work
