Honda Civic VX failed smog... spark issue? I need help!

[ifab1234]

Hi, I have another fed VX smog question, my vx failed smog , HIGH HC, timming was 11 degrees BTDC , tho i tryed to set it right,


and she has new disy, bosh platnum plugs =(, o2 sensor , temp sensor, speed sensor, when i got the car the speed sensor was broken so does this
mean the ecm has no fuel maps or data tables?, and i need to drive it 100 miles?



HC was 215 @ 15mph and 381 at 25 mph. my qestion is would the timing make it that bad? also i sometimes
get the CEL #48 i think for the O2 sensor, even tho previous owner just replaced the 5 wire o2 and the disy, and im getting that
power issue around 2200 rpm, flat spot no matter what the timming is...

so i tryed to check the wire harness and o2 sensor with my DVM and nothing was open in the harness.... of couse my luck... again... more problems

....has anyone else noticed the error or missprint on the call out off the pin numbers on the ECU on the honda troubleshooting flowchart??

page 11-39 the D8 (+) pin is labeled and has a line to it, same pin different page 11-39 the pin is called D16,
looking at a ff-squad vtec wiring legend they call out this pin as d8?

someone needs to tell honda that they messed up the troubleshooting flowchart, this does not help with troubleshooting if you
cant find the right pins.

another thing thats freaky... when i was timming the car with the timng light i reved the engine lokked at the light and the spark isnt constant,
so looks like its missfiring when i rev it, i checked it on another car a 95 ex, light was fine. even got another fed vx ecu to try, it didnt help any. Even pulled a working disy from 95 vtec ex and the spark issue was still there. no problems on the ex, the ex just passed smog.

what else can mess up the spark output , its not the disy or wires... plugs?
ground?


thanks for any input, gary please its been 2 yrs =)
