Hey guys I have a bit of a dillema/problem I need some help with. I got my JDM B18C-R 98 Sepc from Hmotors. The car is at the shop with everything installed and they can’t seem to get it running. They tried different distributors, jumper harness, 2 ecu’s, they swapped injectors and no luck. What happens is the car starts but just keeps bogging and bogging. They had it idling for like a minute and it just died and it keeps happening. So at this point, next they are going to do a leakdown test on the motor to make sure the motor is good which I hope it is. If it turns out the motor isn’t good do you know what kind of warranty hmotors has for something like this? I could really use some help here from you guys.

I’m not very good in engine and all, but could it be your fuel pump?
Hope the link help
Hmotors has a startup warranty on all motors they sell. Have you checked fuel pressure at all?
Ground at the thermostat, my swap was doing the same thing, that ground was loose. Fixed it.
Also, timing, I know you said distributor, but did they actually check the timing? Make sure the belt has not jumped a tooth.
I sent you an email, have you recieved it?
you sent who an email?
ya alot of people miss the main harness ground on the thermostat housing. Are they getting cel’s or nothing at all. sounds like the ground for the harness but that is total speculation from my stand point. hope you figure it out

Hey lol sorry for the late reply here. Been busy, yea they figured out what it was. Had a problem with the jumper harness so they got that squared away. Got the car back and everything runs fine.
