Did you make another post about the BARO code some time ago?
I don't remember the code but all I remember it saying "barometric pressure sensor".
I've reset the ECU, cleared the codes and that's it.
No I don't believe I have.

Re: D17a?

Anyways check engine light is on but it only pulls up as O2 sensor but, when I first scanned the car ever it was reading a "Barometric pressure sensor".
I'd like to know the actual code numbers you retrieved.


Have you checked the timing belt yet? Did it jump time?

P1106
I'm not exactly sure. I didn't mess with the timing at all when I got this engine.

Re: D17a?

P1106
what about the O2 sensor code you mentioned?

Do you have access to a scanner that displays live operating data?
Compare the values of MAP and BARO with the engine off, they should match.

You might swap in your original MAP sensor and see what happens.

Make sure the intake system, breather, tubing, etc are all completely clear and unrestricted.

Don't you think you ought to check? You dropped in an engine that might be 16 years old and you know absolutely nothing about it.
(I started out thinking maybe it had jumped time, but now......)

O2 sensor is the bank 1. One that goes into the catalyst. And yeah I have a bluedriver scan tool. Also I'll swap the map sensor. I'm sure the intake is good. Everything is tight on it and sealed. Another thing is what do you mean by "values"? Like the voltage reading that shows up on the live data? I have pulled off the top timing cover when I first got the motor to make sure everything is okay. Not cracks or anything on the belt itself. Don't forget that it was running perfectly fine before. Revving up nicely, hearing VTEC-E crossover. I just don't understand how it can all turn to **** in a blink of a eye. Literally.

FAULT CODE NUMBER.


The definition of the fault code number will tell me what I want to know.

Yes..

With the engine OFF, both MAP and BARO should read exactly the same.

pulled off the top timing cover when I first got the motor to make sure everything is okay
So.....You don't know if it is correctly timed now.


Any other sensor readings screwy?
Compression test?
Ground wires all clean/tight? None forgotten?
Alternator bolts tight?

Okay.. after school I'll go and make sure everything is in order. I'll also get you that code too. And yeah Im sure it was previously Because JDM Orlando (dealer I bought the motor from) told me that the motor comes timed already and that you don't have to do any of that stuff. When it started up and it revved nicely it showed that it was properly timed. I'm not exactly sure if it did jump a tooth though. Hopefully not. I mean I was revving the motor alot to make sure VTEC engages and to make sure there wasn't anything like a misfire. Oh btw also with the p1106 code I also got all 4 cylinders misfire. P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304. Also a random misfire code. P0300.

Well I'm getting a P0131 and I changed out my fuel pressure regulator cause I was getting gas spitting from my exhaust pipe and my sparkplugs with blackened. It made the car run a little bit better but it's still running like ****. Sputtering when you go at idle still revs up slow though. No idea where to start next.

Oh btw I did swap in my old map sensor seemed to work a little bit better it's letting me rev now

Re: D17a?

I changed out my fuel pressure regulator
Where was that located?


still revs up slow though.
You still haven't checked cam timing. You should do that.


P0131
Unplug front O2 sensor so the PCM can't wrongly compensate for false readings. This is only a temporary thing just to see how it reacts.

Fuel pressure regulator was in the fuel tank. It wasn't hard to change at all.
Nope haven't checked it. Gonna check it tomorrow with a timing light.
I'll do that and then I'll go get 2 O2 sensors.

Unplugged the O2 sensor (Bank 1) and it sputtered for a bit and then it turned over and it idled fine!

Okay, now what about driving it?
Still slow to rev up? Lacking power?

Still pretty slow to rev. At this point I don't think it jumped time but I'm still gonna check it tomorrow with a timing light. I'm only getting the check engine light P0131 nothing else

Re: D17a?

When did the P1106 code start popping up? Was it before, or was it after the engine swap?

After the swap. I am currently running an A1 ECU with a Apexi VAFC
