i have a 92 accord and its hard to start when it sits and it want to stall for at least 10 min if i dont give it gas and it wants to die when i hit the pedal and sputters uo to 3000rpm until it warms up then gets alittle better i replace the O2 sensor by the header but that didnt really help check engine light is on please help i just bought the car 3 days ago Thank you

 

If the check engine light is on, then get the error code in the engine computer.

There is a blue two-pin connector behind the passenger side kick panel. Short that with a thin paper clip, turn the key to the II position, then you will count flashes to get the code.

On the 92, either the check engine light will flash, or there will be a LED on the ECU that will flash the code.

for more detailed instructions.

 

Thank you very much i really appreciate you taking the time to respond thanks again

 

will hat still work even though its not the stock motor?

 

You should still be able to get the engine code.

What year/model motor was put in there, and what model accord do you have?

I think that a 90-93 motors are all identical as long as it wasn't a DX/LX going into a EX or vise versa.

 

its a 1992 honda accord LX and the motyor came out of a 1993 LX i was thinking today that it might actually be the timing i think the person before me might have jumped the timing

 

Both LX so maybe not much difference between the engines.

Camshaft timing or spark timing? Either one can be checked but if you suspect the cam timing has jumped then you should check that out quickly. It's an interference engine so if it works its way farther out of time, you might hit pistons & valves together.

 

Having a car that someone recently replaced the motor is going to take carefully checking over that everything is connected such as vacuum lines and sensors and not broken. It is common that sensors get damaged in the process.
