Hello all!
I'm new to Club Integra but have owned a couple civics (JoEx at Club Civic), so I know a little and hope I won't get flamed too much.
I just picked up a '90 Integra LS.
5-Speed, B18A1 with 160k miles.
Guy says he just replaced the timing belt and water pump, and the clutch is new.
That is all I know about this car.
It drove home on the freeway great, and threw an engine code about halfway home, but I couldn't tell any difference in the performance of the engine. Next day, I go to start it and am met with a stuttering idle, and the car sounds like it's running on three cylinders. ECU is in hurt puppy mode, car won't rev over 3k.
It blinks a Code 16 Injector, and a Code 43 Fuel Supply. After it warms up, lots of smoke, if I remember correctly it was white.
I look under the hood, and fuel is spraying out at the header exhaust gasket by the cylinder closest to the timing belt.
Thinking I just have a stuck injector, I replace it with a new one for $100 (ouch).
Reset the engine computer, and it is still running the same, but Code 43 Fuel Supply is gone and Code 16 Injector remains.
I do a compression test on the cylinder in question, returns great at about 200psi.
So! An electronic problem?
I suspect it's a bad ECU, I pulled it and there was condensation on the little window and on the inside of the case, and the outside is very very corroded. Where it was sitting, there's no carpet and the surrounding metal was moist.
Any ideas? I could really use the help as this is supposed to be my daily driver and my friends don't like me bumming rides constantly. Thanks for reading and cheers!
