1994 d15b2 civic loosing power and doing bounces

Discussion in 'Civic' started by Fernando Olea, Feb 10, 2005.

  1. I am having problems with the engine. after changing the timing belt,
    distribuitor cap and rotor, wires, the car sound like acelerating but is not
    doing a shit and some time when is a little cold do some bounces like the
    pimp mobile.

    So the engine is revving but when put in gear it isn't going anywhere?
    Not sure what you mean by the "bounces"..

    Wow, quite a description!

    Do you have a carburetor?

    Have you checked the ignition timing?

    I truly mean no offense, but you are a little hard to understand. Maybe
    some more questions will help us understand your problem better:

    This is an automatic or standard shift?
    With bouncing, you mean like jerking? Like if someone hit you from
    behind with another car?
    When the car is finally moving, the engine speed is very high -- it is
    making a lot of noise, but you are not going anywhere?

    If it is an automatic, what sort of automatic transmission fluid do you
    have in the car?
    Hondas will not run right with non-honda approved fluid.
    If non honda, you could have your dealer power flush the transmission
    to see if that makes a difference.

    it's probably the timing belt not set right. mistiming of the valves
    drives like that. re-check your work.

  8. yes that would be the answer man, the valves mistiming is fu.... ovious.
    I heard the valves working, but the car is hardly getting speed, after a
    little of time the car is taking more and more speed but the sounds of the
    valves are notorious, i dont have any smoke comming out from behind or bad
    gas economy.
    How can i set the right timming???

    if your d15b2 is the same as my 89's d15b2, then the crankshaft pulley
    has to be at zero degrees & the camshaft pulley has to be set so the two
    grooves are dead parallel to the head top and the word "up" is at the
    top of the pulley wheel. when retensioning the belt, remove the spark
    plugs, then torque the pulley bolt enough so you can rotate the crank
    anti-clockwise, like you're trying to undo the belt. make sure the belt
    tensioner spring is free to do its job, then tighten the tensioner.
    rotate the crank half a dozen times to be sure the belt is set right,
    recheck the timing marks, then retension the belt again just to be sure.
    note: /never/ rotate the crank clockwise.

    check tegger's faq site - think there's a link to some of the service
    manuals that you can download.

    You can move it clockwise a tiny bit, such as when you're trying to get the
    valves just-so in order to adjust them, but rotate it any further than that
    and you run the risk of placing all the slack on the long straight run from
    crank to cam, and the crank may skip a tooth.

    Honda's D17 apparently is the ONLY Honda engine that turns the OTHER way,
    so the danger comes when turning the crank COUNTER-clockwise.


    The link I think you're thinking of is:
    http://www.hondahookup.com/manuals/

    It's added to the FAQ now under the "General" category.

    rotate it whichever way you have to. if it skips a tooth it's because
    you have other problems with the tensioner. when you shut off the car,
    you can bet the engine rotates a few degrees backward.

    you have the timing belt a tooth retarded, you can pull the
    upper cover, slide the belt off rotate the cam and slide the belt back
    on. i've done it for a lot of people who have had this problem.

    I've seen some pretty loose belts, some so loose they make black dust on
    the underside of the cam cover.


    Yeah, that makes sense. Don't know about Hondas, but when Toyotas strip the
    teeth off their belts, it tends to happen when the engine is shut down and
    kicks back a bit.

    Another myth bites the dust?



    A bit harder to do on the DOHCs?
