Hi people,
Ive got this problem that has accured from passed 2-3weeks and just ever so often does it now and then, my car is an 1998 EJ9 with a Stock B16b swapped with least 85k on engine now, i dont totally know much with mechanical stuff on cars atm but learning as i go along Ive had 2 engine swaps from the earlys of this year from a D14 - B18C4 (modified and newly rebuilt) & to now B16b installed from at least a month and abit ago and since ive had the engine swapped over from my D14 to the C4 the engine management had been constantly lit up when engine is running. My mate checked the ECU code and read out to be to do with lambda sensor, so changed that with to an EK9 one, after that still showing with the management light on, so got my car diagnosed and the guy mentioned its to do with the wiring loom that is on my car now not being a genuine EK9 loom for my B16b, tells me that im still using a UK loom on an JDM engine, this is to cause the engine management to light up (probably from the C4 swap) so im on a search to buy one soon!
Problem is now and then my revs (either after a drive to a stand still or just switching ignition on) sometimes the revs is really low (under 1000rpm) and seems to judder alot, seems like the engine is about to stall aswell as choking at the same time and if i just put my foot on the acceleration pedal a little bit the revs pick up ever so slowly and seem to struggle to pick up aswell making this wierd bubbly noise when revs pick up, then i get a big wiff of fuel coming out of the exhaust. ( Now im very what problem this is causing it to do this? whether i need to get this wiring loom sorted and things are back to normal and should solve the problem or ... ?
Spec on engine:
Stock EK9 B16b engine
OEM airfilter
OEM manifold
JDM Baffle Decat
5zigen Border 304 catback
If this helps.. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated as i want to get this fixed
Thanks
Pat
