ACK!!....damn car..

thanks in advance for any help guys...

1996 honda EK hatch
b16a gen 2 boosted setup. RC engineering fuel injectors
harness is from a 1998 EX honda...
no error codes anymore..... the last was the IACV, which we fixed by doing the obd2 to obd1 harness fix and the 3 wire to 2 wire iacv plug fix.
we think it's a fuel issue.... it will start, the fuel pump primes, but after a few seconds, it falls flat on it's face...
running RC ENGINEERING 750cc injectors.
this engine/injectors/boost setup ran flawless in my del sol...which i sold, and put this engine into my ek..
any suggestions/tips/advice to get this finished? i gotta get it done asap, borrowing a car that i wont have in my hands much longer I THINK it's fuel related...

thanks a million guys!

will it stay running if you keep on the throttle a little? if so check your idle may be set wrong.

no fpr gauge

doing reading, it seems obd2 cars and harnesses have resistor packs (which are like prelude for the peak and hold injectors, where these are saturated)

i cant find info on how to bypass and remove the resistor box0rz

obd2 cars DO NOT have resistor boxes. They use saturated injectors stock.

i'm 200% positive that obd2 injectors are saturated. If you don't believe me, then put an OHM meter (or DVOM) on them, if you get 12-14ohms then they're saturated (high impedance) if you get 2-5ohms they're peak and hold (low impedance).

Then bring it to someone who knows what they're doing. You've probably just overlooked something.

something isnt right. I've seen that happen from a faulty map sensor all the way to fuel pump and wrong firing order (but it obviously didnt run 'sweet') lol

Got any codes?
