Hello from Melbourne, Australia forum, i been watching etcg for about 2 years now, and decided that its time to join the forum as well. 🙂
I have a 1995 OBD1 Integra VTIR or GSR in usa terms, B18C2 engine and been having real bad troubles, the car is on about 255,000kms/ 158,000 miles,
I got the car for cheap and decided to use it as a daily to drive to work, previous owner parked the car in a garage for about 6 months because it kept stalling on him, when you try to give it gas.Once i got the car i have done the following repairs to it:
– Head has been reconditioned new Ferrea valves installed, new guides, new valve stem seals and retainers all oem spec.
– New head gasket along with new head studs all torqued to factory spec.
-New intake gasket and exhaust gaskets
– Replaced all service able items such as fuel filter,spark plugs,timing belt kit, coolant,oil, air filter.
-Replaced distributor ( td-68u)
-New injectors and fuel pressure regulator
-Previous owner installed a new fuel pump and a fuel pump sock
-Checked tps signals 0.5v DC at rest (closed) to 4.5v DC at wide open.
– Checked distributor timing 14 degrees.
-Replaced spark plug leads to NGK blues.
– Replaced main relay for a new one from Honda.
– New knock sensor is also installed.
-New NTK o2 sensor installed.
-Valve lash carried out to specs on the sticker under the hood.
The problem is that it idles fine, but once you step on the gas it either bogs and sputters very bad, this happens from 800rpm to around 3k rpm or if you baby the throttle it climbs up slowly and after 3k rpm it works like its supposed to revs freely up top but bogs and sputters and sometimes even misfires out of the throttle body, very loud pops. i have replaced everything i could think of to make this car a reliable daily, i even switched around ecus from another VTIR/GSR, still same problems persists.
Has anyone ever dealt with a problem like this? If so please guide me in the right direction, the only thing i havent replaced is a pre-cat 02 sensor.
Thanks guys and i hope i can contribute to this forum with other problems.
(UPDATE) Problem is back, car is still having the same issues as before. 🙁

With it popping from the TB check belt timing marks. sounds like
timing is off.http://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/solving-automotive-performance-issues
I found out what the problem was, coolant temp sensor on the thermostat housing was busted but didnt throw a code, i read up eric saying on another post about how the temp sensor can be a culprit at times, hopefully this helps anyone else who has the same issue. Thanks guys
