[PAPITUYO326]

Sorry to hear man. You might have switched the TPS and Map Sensor.

[dayronvip]

well i have those switched back and my map sensor is reading 935.3 my tps is reading fine......so it wont matter what tune do u use it just wont start can u help me please.......

[PAPITUYO326]

Try swapping on a new MAP sensor. I've seen this sideline cars before. While you are at it, make sure your IACV system is up to par. A little bit of carb cleaner goes a long way.

[japarossa]

what tune are you using?

[dayronvip]

what do u mean by IACV up to par?......

[RHCP0801]

he means clean it

[j0000stin]

what do u mean by IACV up to par?......

idle air control valve. its on the tb. its easy to clean and only takes a min or two to take out

[dayronvip]

the one that k-pro give me.....k24 tsx stock

[dayronvip]

id clean it but the car wont start what else can i du guys?

[RHCP0801]

whats it doing? cranking but wont turn over? doing nothing at all?

[dayronvip]

well u can feel that the engine want to start and then it died and then it will start cranking again nad the map start reading crazy numbers....and id check all the sensors and everything is connected as the way it is suppost to...id order a new map sensor and try that it will be here on tuesday...

[j0000stin]

id clean it but the car wont start what else can i du guys?

what are you talking about? the car doesnt need to be started to clean it. actually why would you need it to start before you clean it?

just take off the unbolt the tb, unbolt the iacv, and clean it.

[AKEP]

just having the wrong MAP sensor selected on your calibration will keep it from starting. fix the map problem, should start. its trying to compensate for 935lbs of boost.

[dayronvip]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh thats why the car wont start and smell like gas all the time......so with a new map the engine should start without problem right??????

[AKEP]

sounds like it. map sensor. p/n 37830-PGK-A01 $50 - $70

or you can spring for a hondata one for $90-$99 - 4 bar or something. future proof for boost.

[dayronvip]

well corsport have one in $81 that will be my next step since a got a revhard turbo kit on it

[PAPITUYO326]

I labeled my connectors since it is so easy to mix them up. A simple sharpie does the job wonderfully.

You will want to clean the IACV as well. Everytime I've seen someone mix the sensors, the IACV suffers.

[j0000stin]

well corsport have one in $81 that will be my next step since a got a revhard turbo kit on it

*FACEPALM!!!!

it wouldve been nice to know you had a revhard kit on there! that wouldve helped alot. all you have to do is get an omni or hondata map sensor, go into kpro change the map sensor setting and upload the kal.

[dayronvip]

hey thanks for the help just put a new map sensor and the car fires up...it sound like a beast with that turbo...lol..thank u all

[PAPITUYO326]

No problem.

[dayronvip]

hey guys i got another issue im sorry......i didnt swap the ep3 thermostat i left the stock one inside but it wont open...do i need to put the ep3 one cuz i left the radiator cap off to let the air go out but the car car still overheating....

[PAPITUYO326]

Raise the car in the front, put the A/C system to full heat, put the fan completely on. Put more coolant into the system. Squeeze the lower radiator hose throughout the process.

[RHCP0801]

you can squeeze the upper rad hose too, a lot easier

[PAPITUYO326]

Eh, its close enough to the radiator cap that it can create a mess with spillage. I've used both with sucess, but the lower hose seems to keep things from sloshing around on the top end.

[RHCP0801]

i normally have that radiator funnel in there, makes the job a whole lot easier

Yes you should have swapped over the entire thermostat housing including the thermostat. You will need to pull the hard pipe out of the k24a2 housing and put it in the a3 housing for everything to line up properly. If you didn't do this already what lower rad hose are you using? Since the k24 one comes out at the wrong angle?

[dayronvip]

well i got the k24 lower hose installed with no bends on it.....when u said thermo housing u r talking about just the cap not the back side cuz id already try the ep3 one and it wont fit. so i got the thermostat out from the housing if i just have that swapped it will work?

just the cap and thermostat. just take out the 3 bolts connecting it and replace the one on the k24.

No you can't just remove the cap with the thermostat in it from the ep3 and put it on the K24a2 housing it WILL NOT FIT. You need to remove the complete thermostat and housing (by housing i'm talking about the piece the hardline goes into) from the ep3 and put it on the K24a2. Then you need to remove the hardline from the k24a2 thermostat and put it into the k20a3 housing. I just did this a few weeks ago and this is the only way it will work.

[dayronvip]

hey guys i swapped the thermostat already and still overheating....already lift the car up in the front took the rad cap off and all that.....help plis i need this car up an runing by monday...
all help is appreciated

[japarossa]

Sounds like you have done everything to burp the system correctly. Are you sure the rad fan is coming on?

[dayronvip]

i got set up the fans @ 175* the only thing that ive notice is that i have no pressure neither in the upper or the lower hoses

[dayronvip]

well i guess i need to buy a new thermo cuz this one wont open so i went to corsport to buy a new mishimoto

[dayronvip]

hello again guys i did some test on my thermo vs the new one and both opens normally....now i installed the new one in but still doing the same...is raised the car in the front....waste like 2 full buckets of colant and the car still overheats...i ot kpro and set up fans to 180* and the kick on....so anyone of u guys can give me more ideas?

thanks

[RHCP0801]

temp switch in the head gone bad? did you install the thermostat in the right direction

[dayronvip]

i tried with no thermo and it runs good....the deal is i cant get rid of the air inside the rad when i put my thermo in...

[RHCP0801]

get this

http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-24610-Spill-Free-Funnel/dp/B001A4EAV0

i use this, works perfect all the time and has an adapter that fits all honda rads

[dayronvip]

thank you i just bought it..i will let u know if that works 4 me...
