I have a 1990 acura integra GS with a b20 do I have a 1.8 L or 2.0 L? and will a 1.8 L Ignition control module work? Im having a problem where my car runs for about 15 mins and then it dies and wont start back up for a little while, I changed the main relay, fuel filter, and cleaned my very dirty ignition switch to perfection, Ive also changed the coil pack, anyone got any INFO? no guessing please, throwing money in it is starting to get old on things it MIGHT be, I have code error 15 Ignition output signal, someone with knowledge please let me know what you know.

B18 = 1.8 liter
B20 = 2.0 liter

See how clever Honda was in making engine codes? They put the series of the motor, signifying it with a letter, then the displacement. (1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0, etc)

You have a 2.0L, hence B20. All honda engines follow that same naming scheme.

Thats because your alternator is spinning faster and providing more power to the battery. Its either dying, or the voltage regulator in it is not operating properly. You should have stable voltage (and voltage not to exceed 14.4 volts or so) when the car is running, throughout the RPM band.

its probably not using the b18 crank pulley, probably the b20 crank pulley, which is larger, probably still using a b18 alternator as well

So will that effect my problem on code 15? is that pointing me into another direction on how to fix it?

I dont think there is a difference with the Alternator groove on the pulley for either the B18B1/A1, nor the B20. There most likely isnt a difference between the alternators either.

The part numbers are different, but that doesnt mean the design is. I would expect the AC/PS pulley sections to be different, but not the section for the alt.

interesting now im off to find an OHM meter so I can check out the voltage on my wires connected to the coil pack
