Good Day folks...
Need some H22 swap gurus to give me a hand with some info. EK with a H22A1 swap...
Car is giving all sorts of nightmares... relative had the car sent to a mechanic to rebuild engine among a few other things.
Now upon getting back the car, it has absolutely NO power.... can't drive up a hill... feels like 2nd gear in 1st... etc.
- Where it used to start strongly, it sounds like it is laboring...
-Also noticed that the distributor is not where it used to be set at and is in the MAX advance position.
-The vacuum lines were not same as what was originally set, so replaced em as they were before it went to the mech.
Even though through all these things, the car ran... crappily, but ran. Now I got a call yesterday, saying when it drives and turns off (when the car is hot) it will not restart at all... it has to sit for a while and cool down before it starts up again. on first start in the morning it starts right up.
Sounds like ignition but I have NO idea about Hondas in general... this is a real trial by fire sort of experience. It carries a MSD system as well
Can anyone shed some light on this? Could the distributor being fully advanced and NO power be caused by a bad timing belt install? and what could cause the car to not start when it is in operating temp?
