My gf has a 92 civic eg hb automatic. We just put in the motor. It is a D15b motor from Japan. This is the v-tec e engine. Before the car was shaking even more. It didn't shift properly. Now it shifts a lot better because the distributor was wrong. I put in a D16y8 distributor and it got a lot better. I was wondering why the car shakes at D sometimes at the lights and also reverse. It doesn't do it all the time. Just like 3/10 times it will happen. The idle drops to like 400rpm in D or in R. Most of the time it idles fine like 900-1000. In P no problem at all. Can someone tell me what could be the problem. I don't think it could be a wrong distributor again. I am using a p28 ecu. Before the car had a D16z6 engine. So i use the same ecu. They were both automatic. Any suggestions. I don't think a lot of u ppl can answer this question, but could help if any1 knows. Thanx. Appreciated.

does it shake like its going to stall? when you shut off the car does it also shake?

and just curious.. why'd you use an obd2 dizzy? Re-wiring sucks lol

Yes it shakes like it is going to stall but i know it won't stall. What do u mean does the car shakes when the car is off? U mean when i start it back up after? This distributor i dunno if it's the correct 1. I use my dad's 1.6EL and it ran better. I use the d16z6 distributor and it didn't ran that good and tranny shifts bad. So what Distributor or ecu i should use for the car? This is a v-tec e )economy) engine from Japan. I just want it to run perfectly because my gf is driving the car and not me. Any help will be appreciated thanx.

well, you are running a computer program for a 1.6l on a 1.5l engine i don't know if it makes a difference, but i am sure the proper ecu program wouldn't hurt... did you switch the tranny as well?

Timing + base Idle adjustment probably needs to be done as well.

imported_winner007

no i didn't switch the tranny. I dunno which ecu to use because my engine is from Japan. Any 1 knows what ecu it is for a d15b i think. It is a v-tec e (economy). I need to check my timing tomorrow. I will use a timing gun tomorrow to see if it helps because i am so busy i didn't have time to do it today.
