Replying to: brandon1980 (Feb 05, 2007 7:30 pm) if I were you, i'd consider getting a JDM b18c5 or b18c5 (type R) engine instead. they'll be somewhat cheaper. or you could get a JDM h22a from a prelude that is much less and has much more horsepower and torque.

I am just a home garage mechanic, a friend has helped me dismantle the head and bring to the shop for a valve job after a timing belt broke. I understand its almost a guarantee of bent valves as its a interference engine. Question, the number one piston is at the top right now and the crankshaft is on the timing mark. (piston 1 and 4 are at top now actually, and 2, and 3 are down.) With the Piston being at that posistion and the Crankshaft on the mark, is it definatly at TDC. Would any rotations possibly be required of the crank for TDC, or should I definatly be there seeing the piston at top? Also, when Installing the Camshafts, should I put both on in UP posistion and set the distributor back on the intake cam with rotor automatically at the number one spark plug wire posistion and all will be well? ( Of course prior to belt install). Thanks for input

I have a '91 ACURA INTEGRA HATCHBACK (5spd) that I bought from a neighbor for 900 bucks. The car was running but all of sudden the engine wouldn't start - as if fuel or it was getting a spark. I took the car to a mechanic and he's telling me I need a new head gasket. I'm skeptical b/c I didn't see any smoke from the engine or tail pipes. Is my skepticism valid? ACURA OWNER FOR LIFE!!!!! |

Our integra has the 1.8 liter engine and auto trans. Occaionally it starts very hard after cranking it about 30 seconds, waiting 5 minutes and cranking again. It starts up normally when cold. There is no lack of power when running and the S3 light is on when we try to start it. Yesterday it started hard after sitting outside in 90 degree heat and monday afternoon after driving it ten minutes to go shopping. Any help would be greattly appreciated.

The yellow check engine light is on in my car, the person I bought the car from said that means I need an oil change, which I already had done. The light is still on, what does that mean? Also the ABS light comes on for a couple minutes and then turns off. I recently had the front brake pads and driver's side caliper replaced. So what do you think I should do? The car has 111,000 miles on it and is a 1995 Integra LS.

Replying to: corkscrew (Jun 27, 2007 6:26 am) Yesterday I had our local garage come over and check it out. They replaced the Main Relay two hours later and it starts ok now. The main relay is located under the dash on the drivers side. Remove the plastic panel to gain access. |

I just bought a 88 integra 2 door hatchback . The guy I bought it from just had the engine rebuilt at a shop in Texas (yes he had paper work) and it looks to have been rebuilt as well. Here's the questions, when i start her up she likes to jump between RPM's when the clutch is pressed in at say a stop light. Goes between 600 and 900 Rpms just randomly then other times it idles alright. Any idea's because that is the ONLY problem with the car. Thanks!
